The Child's Play Challenge
Members who wish to meet this challenge will complete nine fics/pics, based on a variety of playful themes.
Artists! FanArt entries must be new, specifically drawn for this challenge.
Authors! FanFiction entries must be new, specifically written for this challenge.
- Since this is dokuga_contest, all entries must involve Sesshoumaru & Kagome as the main characters. Their relationship can be either romantic or platonic, but those two must be the focus.
- There is no upper word limit for this challenge, but we ask that your challenge pieces be at least 100 words in length.
- The order doesn’t matter.
- You can use the various prompts to write nine individual pieces, or you can concoct a plot and create a multi-chaptered story.
- Although it should be apparent how you applied the themes, I'm giving you a lot of leeway in interpreting the prompts to suit your needs. The stories do not have to be child-oriented.
- Stories can be of any setting, genre, and rating. Entries with adult content will be tagged ‘hentai’, and must use Live Journal’s 'Adult Content' feature.
- You can post your entries to the venue of your choice (like
Dokuga, although FF, MM, PD, DA, AFF, and LJ are also fine), but you’ll need to do a post (with the link) here to have your entry recognized.
- Challenges at dokuga_contest have no deadline, so you can complete them at your own pace.
- This is not a contest; all participants will receive a banner for their efforts. You’ll want to collect a full set:
