Your artistic challenge, since you chose to accept it ...
ETA: THIS CHALLENGE IS DONE - AND CLOSED.
Well, 10 of you did, at least. :-D
I did something similar to this on another community a few months ago and it turned out really well. This is just a mini-challenge, since I'm not asking for anyone's firstborn - just a 300-word minimum. It's just like a triple drabble, which I know some of you people can do in your sleep. If you're a visual artist, you can draw something in response to the challenge, if you prefer.
The Gist: I am listing all of you in this post and will maintain it as we go along to reflect each person's prompt and when they've posted. I will give the first guinea pig person their prompt - that person has 3 days to post their response in the form of a fic or art. The art can be a single frame or more - I do ask that it not be an icon, it should be larger piece. Fic should be at least 300 words - if you can write a 50,000-word novella in 3 days, that's fine, but I'm only asking for 300.
The Rules: Tell the story of how a character got the piece of clothing, accessory, or other adornment asked for in your prompt.
1. When it's your turn to post your story or art, make a new post to this community (with all proper headers, ratings, etc., of course) and include in your header your pick of any fan you like from the list below - it doesn't have to be in order of how I list them.
2. Give them the character from CotBP (naturally) you want them to write about, and whatever article of clothing, accessory, or other adornment of their body from that movie that you want them to write about. Try to have fun with it; it doesn't have to be humor, but have a good time writing it!
3. I will make the first tag, and I'm going to pick on yoiebear, since she participated in the other challenge and she knows how it works (and, I just like picking on her). My prompt to her is: Will and his buckled shoes. Now what she has to do is write at least 300 words or produce some art telling/showing how Will came by his buckled shoes.
4.When she posts, she will clearly list in her header who she is choosing to go after her, as well as her challenge to that person.
The Catch (because there's always one): Each character can only be used once. Since I've already chosen Will (being the Turner hor that I am), nobody else chooses him. Whomever yoiebear chooses to be written about, that character will then be off the table for further consideration. And so forth. This means at least 11 characters will be written about. (And if you don't get the character you wanted, well ... there's nothing that says you can't write your own story about that character after this challenge is over. *G*)
When I say "3 days" I mean 3 days from when you get the challenge. Because I am tagging yoiebear on Wednesday, she has until anytime before midnight for her on Saturday to post her response and tag her next person with their prompt. *THIS* is why I am posting the list of us in this post, to keep track of who's been tagged and which characters have been used. When it's your turn to post your story or art, please come back to this post, see who's left, and assign a character that hasn't already been used.
