A Picture is Worth 1000 Words
An Annual Writing Challenge
(no userpics)
About:
THE CHALLENGE
The Original

The first year, the idea was simple: one picture per author, to be either the basis or the inspiration for a story of exactly 1000 words. It turned out to be a lot more challenging (and fun!) than anyone expected!

Take Two: Double Prints

In the second go round, authors were allowed to choose from two pictures instead of one, but the word count requirement remained the same!

Third Time's a Charm

In the third installment of the challenge, authors were given pictures that involved the number 3 in some fashion.

The Four Seasons

Authors chose a season, and received a picture based on that.

Elemental

Author's pictures were based on one of the five elements of Chinese philosophy: earth, water, fire, wood, and metal.

Roll Them Bones

This time, author's pictures will be based on a number from 1-6, taken from the random roll of a die.

CHALLENGE GUIDELINES
  • All stories must be exactly 1000 words in length. Any fandom, pairing, rating or genre is welcome.

  • Authors will receive only ONE picture; however, if the muse strikes, authors may write more than one story based on the single picture. The story/stories can be part of a larger series only if each can stand alone.

  • All stories for the current challenge are to be completed no later than February 28, 2008; while authors may post their stories any time prior to that, in whatever forum they wish, a link in this community is required.


COMMUNITY GUIDELINES
  • This is an open community, and all participants in the challenge are invited to join; if you don't have a livejournal, please contact the moderator, and something will be arranged (although, it's free and easy, so consider signing up).

  • This community is intended to be place for authors to either post entire stories, or link to stories posted elsewhere, only; other types of posts may be deleted.

  • As a consideration to other users, please lj-cut all lengthy posts and all pictures.

  • If a picture is included in a post, the author is encouraged to upload it to her/his own webspace.

  • Finally, please be respectful of one another; any/all inflammatory or insultory comments will be deleted at moderator's discretion.
