Oh no! I thought I'd already replied to this!

A 10-word challenge is where I find a random word generator, like the one at https://randomwordgenerator.com/, and get a list of 10 random words. The challenge is to write a story within a word limit that contains all 10 words and makes them feel as natural as possible. Bonus points for using them in order. I've always considered any piece where I have to go back to find one of the words because it fil so seamlessly that I missed it to earn even more bonus points.

It's a silly challenge, but it forces me to think creatively and try things I wouldn't otherwise.

Is anyone ready for a new challenge? 

[Cash Money Chad]

sure

[Aura]

Ooh! How am I just now finding this club?? I'm definitely going to have to participate in the next challenge~

[Somethingsomething]

Yay! I loved both of your entries, @Aura and @Somethingsomething! Thanks for joining and participating!

[Somethingsomething]

Thank you

[Somethingsomething]

I am pretty busy these days so I will unfortunately not be able to write a story until the deadline for this challenge, but I really like the words for this week's story so I'll write something and hand it in delayed

[IsabellaRose]

I'm kind of in the same boat. The words inspired an idea and a start, but I didn't have time to finish. I'll probably turn something in late, too.

Congrats to @Aura for winning Challenge #5, the 10-word challenge! 

Also, congratulations to @Xeed for winning Challenge #6 - Smoke, Fog, Haze! I'm sending your prize in just a moment!

I'll try to get a new challenge posted soon. If anyone else is interested in posting challenges or has any ideas for new challenges or new types of writing challenges, please let me know!

[Xeed Deactivated]

I'd like to thank the academy.  I also wanna give a shout out to my peeps!

 

Ok but in all seriousness, it was a fun thing to do. And I'm gonna spend the prize money on Blackjack, and hookers!

[IsabellaRose]

Blackjack and hookers! Woo-hoo!

[Somethingsomething]

Is there a limit of lewdness for our stories?

[Typical Blue Haired Dude]

I don't really think there is, but I would assume it would be easier to be more descriptive with lewd things when writing prompts that don't require word limits.  Plus, this site isn't exactly SFW so nobody should complain if you happen to get carried away in the first place. XD

Just sent in my submission!  I'll say, it was hard to top the one that preceded me, that was a pretty good one there.  But I'm proud of the work that I put in.  Please feel free to leave any feed back on it! ^^

Out of curiosity, the group name here is "Tell me a story," would there happen to be a location to put freelance stories? I'd love to relocate some of mine to a more public space, but they don't necessarily fit with any particular challenges.

[IsabellaRose]

There isn't, but there should be! I'll have to create a new forum for other story threads!

[IsabellaRose]

@Aura - I added a new forum called Our Stories - start a new topic for each story!

[Somethingsomething]

@IsabellaRose, can we post short stories there too? So we'd create a topic and then simply post short or longer stories into them?

[IsabellaRose]

Yes!!!

[Somethingsomething]

Okay, cool :)! Thanks!

[IsabellaRose]

I forgot I started that section, or I'd be posting more fiction here instead of in the Creative Corner.

Anyone ready for a new challenge?

[NyxAvatar69]

[IsabellaRose]

Yay! Someone's here...

What kind of challenge do we want? Picture challenge? word list? theme? beginning or ending sentence?

[NyxAvatar69]

I'm fine with anything, but word count limits tend to be a bit of a kryptonite for me.
