April/May challenges

[annwfyn.livejournal.com]

Hello all

Sorry for the two week delay. I've been having a modly emotional crisis and as such have been terribly terribly unreliable about all things creative and IoD related. However, I am now back, with my traditional dual month challenge - one for April and one for May. They are, however, of slightly different types and I'm not sure which belongs to which month. So you may pick.

Challenge One is one which is particularly dear to my heart, but a little different from my normal challenges. I want you all to try and write a story which showcases your favourite venue to someone who doesn't play it already. I think a lot of the stories that go up here are pretty much incomprehensible to anyone who doesn't already play, and I think it would be really cool if we could get past that and make this venue something that makes people think 'wow - I should renew my membership'.

Challenge Two is a little more traditional, and comes from faerierhona, who suggested it and it seemed like a good idea, and is a thematic one; rebirth and renewal.

Do let me know how you feel about non-thematic challenges - do you like them? Do you hate them? Do you want more one word thematic suggestions or more structured goals? Enquiring Sallys want to know!

I like the thematic challenges more than the one words. I think the introduction challenge is a really good one.

Variety is the spice of life and all that jazz, so I quite like mixing it up a bit.
