Welcome to Challenge Chimes! This wiki is designed, quite selfishly, in fact, to get my creative juices flowing. I am asking you to challenge me! In what? Well, that's up to you, at the moment the categories are: Photography, Photomanipulation, Fiction and Poetry. I'm sure I'll expand later, probably when I can scan. So... what are you waiting for? Give me some challenges!

Not only is this designed as a form of inspiration but a chance for me to test my skills, so feel free to give me some challenging challenges - I couldn't think of any other words, alright? XD I want to improve by whatever means necessary. If I fail, you can laugh. It's a win-win situation.

Challenges can be detailed or they could simply be one-word prompts, either works.

To keep this page neat(ish), once I have completed a challenge I will delete the challenge from this page, don't worry, each challenge will be stored with the result of said challenge. If some are numbered and a number is missing, it means that I have completed the challenge. To see the results visit:

CC: Completed Challenges

How do I submit my challenge? Well, that's simple. Fill out and post this this little form in the comments of this wiki or send it to me via message:

Challenger: Username here, please.
Category: Fiction, Poetry, Photography or Photomanipulation.
Challenge: Be creative. :]

Please note: This is not a request wiki.

Fiction.

- For the purposes of this wiki, fiction includes: short stories, drabbles and possibly the odd script. The latter is rare.

Photography.

- Bear in mind, I do not have a studio. I use my room, my house and any random location that I find.

Photomanipulation.

- Feel free to suggest stock with your challenges. However, if the stock does not belong to you (for example: it may belong to a stock artist on DeviantART or it may be from Reference Pictures) you must always tell me where it is from so that I can make sure I am definitely allowed to use it.

Challenges:

Challenger: Myself & a non-ET using person
Challenge: An icicle grin, to go with a poem. (If photomanipulation fails... drawing it is!)
Status: Pending

[Linderel]'s mad prompting section. :P

Fiction/Poetry
*Write a sonnet. I don't care if it's Shakespearian, Spenserian or any other variety. Just write a sonnet. :P

*You must use each set of five either in a fiction or poetry piece. Inflections allowed, but you mustn't change the lexical category. If the word could be in several categories or have several meanings, pick freely which to use.
- cold, independent, putrid, standoff, warn
- carving, juxtapose, keen, opalescent, spark
- hum, rustle, key, reach, nail
- vine, cower, gargantuan, flesh, grimace

Fiction/Photography/Photomanipulation
Prestige. Green fingers. Pact. Pagan. Slaughter. Lightning. Monday. Legends. Family. Fancy. Porcelain. Wormhole. Silence. Fix. Soul. Sorcery. Clipped wings. Clique. Bliss. Mythology. Trains. Modern gypsy/gypsies. Vicious cycle. Your favourite Shakespeare sonnet. Sonnet #18. The 'rose by any other name' quote.

Fiction
Write a piece inspired by the image. It may either be central to the story, or included in a single scene. It must, however, be somehow significant. With some images you may simply use the concept indicated.

2009-02-10 [Chimes]: Lmao XD
I need more 'See also' thingies.

2009-02-11 [Chimes]: The last image doesn't work O.o

2009-02-11 [Linderel]: Does now, I recalled the name wrong :P

2009-02-11 [Chimes]: That... is so very strange. :P XD
Have you seen the completed challenge? :]

2009-02-11 [Linderel]: Not yet :o *goes have a looksee*

2009-02-11 [Chimes]: The 'Dinner' one doesn't work.

2009-02-11 [Linderel]: Argh, stoopid thing.

2009-02-11 [Linderel]: There.

2009-02-11 [Chimes]: Wow. O.O That wasn't what I was expecting. But now... I have some vague image in my mind for it XD *will probably write it tomorrow*

2009-02-11 [Linderel]: What were you expecting, then? :P
I remember when I took that picture... I was out on a camera walk and then I saw this intact fish skeleton just lying there on the gravel. Was like 'o_O Uh, someone's lunch?' and then I snapped a shot because I found it, truth be told, somewhat amusing :D *has odd sense of humour*

2009-02-11 [Yuriona]: So can anyone enter this or is it for [Linderel] only? :P

2009-02-11 [Linderel]: Anyone can enter it, but she told me about this idea on MSN and I threatened to throw dozens of prompts her way... and I'm keeping my word. ;3

2009-02-11 [Chimes]: I was expecting some form of dinner... or something eating. Not a fish on a path. XD
Ahaha! That's brilliant. XD

Anyone :P Lin just loves her prompting. XD Hence the little special section. XD She may have gotten a little excited XD Or she wants me to go insane :P
Feel free to challenge :D

2009-02-11 [Linderel]: When I start on prompts I get carried away very, very easily. Don't try to tell me you don't love it. :P

2009-02-11 [Chimes]: I would try... but alas, I never was an actor :P

2009-02-11 [Linderel]: Heehee. :3

2009-02-11 [Jitter]: Oooh!

Must get my brain to work first then I will challenge you ^_^

2009-02-11 [Duke Devlin]: Oooo

2009-02-11 [Chimes]: Aaaah! I forgot you could edit any wiki XD Your Alice challenge is something I have planned... do you remember seeing Cheshire and White? :] Part of that series. I have the Queen of Hearts too, it would be on DA but it's still being a pain.

'Ello Dukey, darlin'. Guess what? I PAINTED SOMETHING AND IT ACTUALLY LOOKS GOOD! You know how I stay away from paint. :P (Well, technically it was printing ink... but I painted with it.)

2009-02-11 [Jitter]: Bahhh Sorry! I didn't notice it wasn't editable (almost wrote edible X) ) from members :s I try not to intrude >.<

*won't do it again*

2009-02-11 [Linderel]: I just have special permission. 'Cause I'm trying to make her insane. <_< :P
