The worst challenge!

[Erozetta]

Okay so where I live, there's an annual Battle of the Bands event but with a hilarious twist. You sign up as an individual and identify as a singer, drummer, guitar player, etc. Then the organizers randomly group strangers together to form a band, and then also randomly assign them an artist that they have to cover. It's hilarious, most of the Build-A-Bands end up not being very good, but it's always a good time and occasionally the results are genuinely great!

So my worst Lit writing challenge is Seeking a Friend for the End of the World.

Everyone that signs up for the challenge is put into a randomizer tool, and then assigned a writing partner and a Lit Category. You and your randomly-assigned partner have to write a story in your assigned category, and you both have to contribute more-or-less equally to the finished product.

95% of the pairings would end up being fractious disasters, but 5% of them might actually produce something interesting and fun. Knowing my luck I would be paired with Lovecraft writing a Trans romance

I would be down for this, actually.

I'm sure it would be an absolute disaster to pair me with most writers here as they are much more serious about what they write than I am, but there are probably a dozen or so I think I could work well with.



Key note: chain stories needs to be excluded from the category options. That's a dead zone.

No way you are even less serious than I am.... Almost all my stories for the past few years have started out as something like jokes I wanted to tell.

I haven't seen either of those scenes so I'm not prepared to compete. However, IRL I have had some fun with food. This is a straight bro's perspective but from my perspective a beautiful woman's body and delicious food were made to go together.

Check them out in YT. Also on 9/12 the scene with the ice cube on the panties lace is also hot.

I wrote a story that involves a fantasy about a drider. It also contains a joke about everyone being named after Resident Evil characters.


But all I meant by that is I don't put a lot of effort into the stories I post here. I have fun with it and am not opposed to writing anything.

You have won this contest. I should not have doubted you.

Bondage and a popsicle is hard to beat.

 

[caleb35]

Write a story about a clown orgy, but it cant be a horror story.

[honk honk]

 

[caleb35]

Write an erotic story in the style of Finnegans Wake.

"riverrun, past Eve's cunt, from swerve of cheek to bend of knee, brings us by a commodius toiletus of expurgation back to Howie's house and environs..."

 

[caleb35]

I'm actually toying with the idea of a Munchhausen challenge for next year: far-fetched and implausible scenarios told with a straight face and complete conviction.

Do it

 

[caleb35]

I will not fuck you in the ass
I will not use a dildo glass
I will not fuck your derriere
I will not fuck you anywhere

Djmac1031 should win a prize for this (or at least for rhyming "derriere" and "anywhere")

 

[Erozetta]

You have won this contest. I should not have doubted you.

You are going to be sorely disappointed if that's the thing you read of mine, lol. Unless you want to see inside my head for about a thousand words.

That's legit just a letter to my friends.

This actually sounds highly entertaining! I think there might need to be a certain amount of veto power before agreeing to participate, considering that categories like TI or RNC are morally repugnant to some folks, and there may be some pairs that are too antagonistic to work together. But tying a pantser and a plotter together sounds fun!

It would require a bit of manual labor, but you could give each participant two pre-emptive vetos for both partner and category, which is kept secret to other participants.

So when you signed up to participate you would tell the organizer "I don't want to work with Adam or Sue, and I don't want to write in Category X or Category Y." Then when making matches you just keep each person's veto choices out of their randomizer. As long as enough people are participating, it would still feel sufficiently random!

If you viscerally hate more than two other writers, you'd just have to take your chances

No, the "story" I liked was beautiful. My surrender speech was referring to the story you told me about.

Your writing is definitely more serious than mine though.

Just wait, when it's finished itll be my first Non Con story.

I was also thinking that each pair of writers could be assigned two categories instead of one. They would need to incorporate both into the story, but wouldn't have to be equally weighted. That TG Romance you mentioned could emphasize one element over the other, for example. It would give teams a little leeway if they find themselves in an 'undiscovered country' category. They could incorporate other things, too, of course, as long as the end product can reasonably fit in either of the two selected categories.

Yeah, I got the surrender comment, lol.

I just meant that was one of three pieces I've written here that were actually serious. (The other two are in reviews and essays) Those don't count as my writing. They are just me, not stories.

Variation: everyone writes a Chapter 1/first half. The partner has to finish the story. Partner is randomly selected after the parts 1 are turned in.

Wouldn't work for me. I'm to much of a procrastinator. I'm just getting started on the 2024 April Fool challenge.

Reminds me of my mock chain-story story. It probably would be a disaster, but it could produce amusing results. Cuckolds and Incels--A Chain Story

Perhaps we could see a challenge for eyes.

Does anybody write about eyes?

They can be quite appealing, or appalling.
