Hello everyone! *waves*

It’s time for our December monthly challenge!

This time I decided to try something different.

1000+ word story summing up your day. This should be a complete story, rather than a part of a larger piece, however, it can be original or fan fiction.

In this case it means that you can either sum up your own day (real or fictional) or use a character from some fandom and sum up their day.






Entries will need to be received by midnight 31st Dec. at GMT -12. We’ll issue a closed post as we do with the weekly prompts.

When you post your entry, please tag it for the challenge.

You do not have to be a regularly contributing member of the community to participate. This challenge is optional and open to everyone.

You are allowed to use the monthly challenge in conjunction with any of the weekly prompts this month as long as you follow all the requirements for both. So, for this month, you would:
  • Include the weekly prompt in your story
  • It would be a stand-alone, a story of 1000 words or more summing up your day or some fictional character
  • It would be posted by the earlier of the two deadlines (midnight Saturday, or midnight on the 31st).






Good luck everyone!

Then he was slamming to a halt as the passenger door flew open, and even as he pulled up to the corner Sam was flying down the sidewalk towards the burning apartments. Oh god. “Sammy, no!” Dean shouted, hurrying out of the car. Sam was already way ahead of him, but it didn't stop Dean from running after him. His heart was pounding in his chest, panic flooding through his system and kicking his adrenaline into overdrive.

And then Sam disappeared into the flames and Dean's heart stopped.

Hey there tamers!

Welcome to a fresh week and a happy pre-Thanksgiving food baby to you all!

No newbies to welcome this week but we lost d_frittilary after 13 weeks and [info]wordwhacker after 20! Your awards are found below. We hope you'll hang around for more fun!

D_Frittilary earns the Euterpe award!



Wordwhacker earns the Polyhymnia award!




Also, if you are confused on the prompt intersex for this week (and no, its not the same as transsexual-which is someone that grows up with one set and realizes they wish to be the other gender-requires elective surgery and counseling), please feel free to visit this intersex faq: http://www.isna.org/faq/what_is_intersex

Earlier this week, Tyra Banks also did an intersex episode on her show if that's a resource that interests you. To be honest, as a member of the queer community, it is important that you understand this is about gender identity and not necessarily gender itself. Its a member of the rainbow, for all intensive purposes, and deals with people born with both genders and either having forced surgery as a child or being surprised at puberty with certain features even if they've been groomed/identified as boys or girls.

Just so you know, intersex occurs in about 1 out of every 2,000 people, just like those with red hair.

I think I just made it more confusing. Anyways, have a good week and good luck with the prompt. I'll see you all soon!
