Challenge 488: Twinkle

Our new challenge is:

TWINKLE

As always, you can interpret the prompt literally or figuratively, in whatever way works for you.

Each work created for this challenge should be posted as a new entry to the comm. Posting starts now and continues up until the challenge ends at 4pm Pacific Time on Wednesday, 20th August. No sign-up required.

Mods will tag your work with fandom and challenge. When you've posted entries to three consecutive challenges, you will earn a name tag, and we'll go back and tag all your previous entries with your name.

All kinds of fanworks in all fandoms are welcome. Please have a look at our guidelines before you play. If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to contact a mod. And if you have any suggestions for future challenges, you can leave them in the comments of this post.

Also, keep an eye out for the next

[#270 | Pride] Challenge Post

Challenge 270:
PRIDE

...goes before a fall?

Pride isn’t always a bad thing, of course. Confidence in yourself, satisfaction in a job well-done, open self-acceptance – all of those might fall under the category of being proud, and those are generally good things! But taken too far, pride can make things difficult; too much pride might stop you from accepting help, be off-putting to friends or family, or even turn into dangerous overconfidence.

Are your characters proud, justifiably or otherwise?

Write a story about pride.

BONUS GOAL: “What are you worried about? It’s me.”

If your submission features this line, it will earn an extra point to be tallied in voting!

Challenge ends Monday, August 11 at 9:00PM EST.

• Post submissions as new entries using the template in the profile
• Tag this week's entries as: [#] submission, 270 – pride
