Ficlet the 200th and the DOUBLE CHALLENGE!

Add to AIMShare

The time has come, the grand milestone of which all who see it shall say “woe is me, for not completing as many ficlets as Stovohobo!” (Excepting Laine and a few others, of course, hehe.).

Anyway, I have indeed reached 200 ficlets, and this is a testament to my endless turning-out of crap each and every day. This, in fact, is the beginning of challenge the third in the epic series, and so, this one shall be the most grueling. Beware, faint-hearted, for you may not survive a challenge of this magnitude.

I beseech you to go, go all the way back to places you never wanted to enter before, all the way back…TO YOUR FIRST FICLET ! Yes, the ficlets that make us lose sleep, the ficlets we hope none will ever stumble upon.

Your challenge is to sequel it! Okay, if you’ve already done that, no worries! This challenge comes in two parts.

The second part that you may wish to do instead is to write ficlet (or series) in a genre that you haven’t dared to cross. An example is my obvious failure at romance.

Prequels

Write a prequel

Sequels

Write a sequel

To make a few things clear:
If you choose to participate, you may do both challenges, or only one.
The same voting system as the other challenge remains. (Just make sure I get enough this time!) Also, depending on which challenge you do, label your ficlet with First: for the “first ficlet” challenge, and Genre: for the “genre ficlet” challenge. Remember, you can do either one challenge or both, as long as you label accordingly! This means that there will be two types of votes, as well.

Wow. 200? Congrats to you!

Well, anyway…this is kind of funny because I had an urge a couple days ago to sequel my first ficlet…

Also, attach your ficlets as a sequel, if you could. And if you don’t, just so I can find it, put in “stovohobo challenge” as a tag. Thanks!

I already sequeled my first ficlet…It was about a silo.
I don’t know what genre I haven’t done though…If someone would be okay with going through all my ficlets, would they tell me?

Should be a fun challenge, since my first Ficlet was such a random little snippet. I’ll have to put in the tag, since I don’t know how to sequel it and have it as a sequel to your challenge.

Yes, that is a potential problem, but that’s what the tags are there for! Have fun.

How long have you been doing this? I’ve been doing this for about three months and I’ve only done 34. You are insane! I’m glad you do it, though, because talent like yours needs to be practiced. I might be trying to do the second challenge, but I can’t think of what genre to do.

I’ve just checked and seen that your first story was only one month old! I am officially impressed.

This challenge is well suited to someone brand new like me whose first ficlet was his or her best work. The problem of actually writing a fitting sequel is still a big one…Bummer.

oh, and an idea could also be to just tag it now, and then also write the same ficlet, except make it as a sequel to your first ficlet. That could give someone personal glorification if they feel they wrote a good sequel.

203 Ficlets, due to the fact that you’re blessed with a crazy amount of talent and abundance of free time. But the challenge is a good one and I hope I can rise to it.

batak beatrix, you think you feel inadequate? i’ve been here for more than a month and haven’t even broken 30! i’m close though! (i have 18 drafts but they all pretty much suck!) anyway, it’s too embarassing for me to do a sequel to my 1st and i don’t really think there is a genre i haven’t tried (tell me if i’m wrong)!

Well, it’s been going on for a while, now, hasn’t it? How about…October 1st. It’s over October 1st. By the way, I’ve only gotten…well, one vote I think. Voting doesn’t seem to work really well on ficlets, but it would be much appreciated if you did.

I took on the challenge just for fun – I think I signed up on ficlets too late to enter my story in the running. But it was an interesting experiment to write in a genre I normally don’t approach.

Want to start a series with me? Note me and let’s do it! (I’m sorta forgetful about sequeling, though, so you might have to remind me once in a while). =)

Never ever ever ever ever EVER EVER be afraid to sequel my junk.

Many of these series have not been finished, whether I forgot about them or just got bored of them. Some of them are only a few ficlets long. Feel free to extend them, and note me about it if you want to; I’d love to read them!

It’s a word definition game—for every word you correctly define, the organizations behind it send 10 grains of rice for world hunger. I would think the people here at ficlets could do this just fine.
