Welcome to Gaia! ::

I joined a writing group on discord a while back and they started doing these challenges. It was supposed to be a weekly thing, but it hardly ever is. Even so, it's certainly added to my list of short stories in recent months and I've also occasionally been doing writing prompts on reddit. I started transferring some of these over to my wattpad, but there are some that I want to tweak and haven't gotten around to it yet. So yeah, I guess I'll just dump all my raws here so everyone can see what I've been getting distracted by when I'm supposed to be doing something in the roleplay sweatdrop

Challenge: Filipendulous
Limit: 100 words (with some wiggle room)
Deadline: 1 week
Word Count: 114


Challenge: Cyberpunk
Limit: 1k words or less
Deadline: 1 week
Word Count: 999
Link
(this is one of the ones I want to tweak because 1k words just wasn't enough for the story I wanted to tell. I actually won this one, though.)

Challenge: "Today, Lily abused me again. She said I had to write something, so I’ll write in you."
Limit: 300 words or less.
Deadline: 24 hours
Word Count: 157
Link

Challenge: ULTIMATE PHYSIQUE

Link

Challenge: There is something suspicious happening in the woods.

Deadline: 5 days
Word Count: 3502
Link
(Partner did the characters, plot, and outline as well as a few paragraphs in the first half {which I edited to fit with my writing}. The rest I rushed through solo at the last minute.)

Deadline: 1 week
Word Count: 1260
Link

Writing Prompt: "You witness your sibling's death in a car crash, and the shock and horror you feel acts as a trigger for multiple personality disorder. You pass out, and when you wake up you are inside your own mind. You look up and see 4 people staring down at you. Your personalities."
Word Count: 978
Link
(Another one I want to tweak but haven't gotten around to it.)

More prompts from reddit can be found on my wattpad here.

Will dump more raws as I write them in future posts.

Thanks. I also somehow forgot about GGG's Lily rofl Guess I'm starting to get old man memory after all.

Currently I'm in a tiebreaker round so I'll have another one up soonish when I finish that.

Challenge: Don't look back
Limit: must be written in 2nd person
Deadline: 10 days
Word Count: 1720

Challenge: Silence
Limit: 10k or less
Deadline: 1 week
Word Count: 2629
Link

Writing Prompt: Your girlfriend just dumped you through a text. In a rage, you throw your old teddy bear while shouting “The ******** Devil!”. Your teddy bear stands up and says ‘alright you got me, you got me,”
Limit: none
Word Count: 1096

Also, random story that I originally started for the purpose of:
1) Trying out writing in second person just to see if it can be done in a way that people don't hate.
2) Paying back the author of the shitromance by having a silly story involving her. (Sola)

I actually kind of like it and might make it into more of a thing if I can stop being lazy. Reddit critiques have suggested I change the perspective from second person, though.

Word Count: 1792
You Be the Hero (Chapter 1)

Challenge: fourth wall

Additional note: While the deadline was 2 weeks, I didn't actually start on it until four hours before the cutoff. The title tells how much of that four hours I spent working on it.
