Also, I'm going to be challenging everyone to multiple Halloween-themed challenges.

10 challenges in 20 days. One of them is bound to inspire something and make you want to write. If I'm feeling ambitious enough, I'll even set them to unhide/unlock on certain dates, then lock back up when complete... but I don't know if I'll have that kind of time.

Still, it seems like a fun challenge and I'm really hoping to drag @Pixel in and get him to write something for his favorite time of year. Maybe this year I can post a prompt that will inspire!

No promises

I wish I would participate more into these but I find my writing has been a bit shoddy from my last attempts. I can have many great ideas when working with a partner but "novel" style writing is fun mostly to me. From an outside point of view, I don't think it's very good writing for other users to read. Halloween might not be my forte either but not impossible. Like, I like my little stories but it might not be all that interesting to other users. I know it's mostly "Write for yourself first" but it makes me shy to go sexy in public.

Imagine this... When I write for a partner, I know it's intended for a partner and their characters. But writing a challenge like this, you need to pick the other users' interests. There's no character to reply to. I feel like it's a huge difference versus roleplay and it makes me nervous. The fear of being judged for what I'm putting into word. Am I crazy for thinking that? I know we probably already had that conversation sometimes. I just felt like sliding in to say something. Being around, watching, waiting for a potential opening.

I did the voting for Challenge 44, but never finalized it, so... Tied Winners - @MagnificentBastard and @NyxAvatar69. By my rules, I'll add the prizes for 1st and 2nd and split them evenly, so each winner gets 3,000 EC!

Also, since there were only 3 entries for Challenge 45, I decided to award each submission 1,000 EC! @WickedCadrach, @StarlitSiren, and @NyxAvatar69 all received 1,000 EC!

Congrats to all our winners!

...and a new challenge is posted!

The poll is up for Challenge 47!

...and Challenge 48 is posted!

 

[Elena Ichinomiya]

Finally a new one! 

[IsabellaRose]

It's taken a while!

[IsabellaRose]

Okay peoples. I'm back enough to get the challenges going again.

The next challenge is going to be our 50th challenge!

So I want it to be epic, special, amazing... something. Does anyone have ideas? Is there something you are all waiting for to join the challenge? Tell me and let's make it happen!

[Warning]

It depends what you define as epic. There are so many themes available out there. It could be an event style thing too like write mini stories championship. Winners climb to the next tier. But if we simply want a challenge, maybe something that was never done? Beyond the "random sexual fantasy in this or that situation." Something more epic?

What if it has to be a story that is told over a span of years or life times.

I'm literally entertaining ANY idea!!

A multi-stage event challenge... like the World Cup, proceeding round by round! Except we'd need a lot of people to participate and there don't seem to be too many people around in my corner of EcchiSpace... 

A challenge type that was never done is exactly what I'm looking for! I just... you know... I'm just one person. If I had a blind spot to a kind of challenge or topic, I probably still have that same blind spot. That's why I'm hoping people will comment and then I can put everything together and have people decide what they like best.

I'll put that on the list!

 

So far the list is:

1. single elimination tournament style challenge where winner progress to the next level.
2. a story that is told over a span of years or life times

Understandable. I have ideas but they just don't seen "epic" enough for a 50th challenge. It just seems new or out of the ordinary to me. A story over a span of years seems original for what this is about. I am trying to think about something more than just a theme or etc. (I admit I am a big overthinker, though. But you know this. XD)

The span thing could also bring an idea of "What about time travel"? sort of ideas? Like... You have a character travel to the past or future. Oh! What about... A story with a character you had when you started ED, meeting a character you have NOW? Like a kind of "Sega Ages" event thing? That sounds like an epic thing right there! :D

So to sum up... We take one of our first characters and we write a story about them meeting one of the newest characters we have. Something like that. A story about your history in ED. Well, dunno if that would be epic to everyone's eyes but it sounds like a fun idea to me, at the very least. Like a kind of different universe clash story.

Epic, huh? Well, since 50 is a big milestone, and given the World Cup ended recently, I think a World Cup tournament-style challenge-themed competition would be the most fitting concept.

To keep it broad and accessible, you can write short stories involving competition or challenges of any kind.

Blowjob competitions, gameshow questionnaires, wife swaps, lost bets, first to cum, loyalty tests, Pokémon battles, sex fighting, video games, scavenger hunts, raffles, whatever have you.

Simple single elimination format. Winner moves on, loser goes home. Most reactions wins. Ties are broken by @IsabellaRose.

To keep things as objective as possible, I think wins should be decided by storytelling and craftsmanship instead of which kinks you personally prefer.

Stories don't strictly have to be sexual or suggestive in nature but given the platform we're on, it's generally expected.

Eight contestants (or four if that's all we can get). You can sign me up if this ends up being the idea.

Quarterfinal

• Contestant A vs. Contestant B
• Contestant C vs. Contestant D
• Contestant E vs. Contestant F
• Contestant G vs. Contestant H

Semifinal

• AB winner vs. CD winner
• EF winner vs. GH winner

Bronze Medal Round

• Semifinal losers (winner is considered to be third, loser fourth)

Grandfinal

• Semifinal winners (winner becomes Champ, loser gets silver medal)

You'll need to win at least two out of three to guarantee a spot on the podium. A "third-place playoff" would exist, so even if you get knocked out in the semis, you still have a chance to win some EcchiCreds.

Matchups, prizes, deadlines and word count limits to be decided by @IsabellaRose. Perhaps with more time and a bigger word count limit permitted for the all-important Championship Round.

This would be quite an ambitious project involving multiple Dreamers though and I'm not sure if we can get eight reliable people for this but I guess we can see how it goes.

What do you all think? Anything you disagree on?
