Me: Guess who's alive!

May: You're back (death hug)

Drew: …I think she missed you.

Me: I think she did… did you miss me?

Drew: I didn't notice you were gone.

Me: …Awww!! You did!

Drew: (rolls eyes)

Me: OK! So I'm back and… I'm issuing a challenge!

May: Ooh!

Me: So… read on!!


Hello my loyal readers (all three of you)! I stand before you (on the computer screen…) to issue you a challenge! Here, I will post 52 themes, each corresponding to the letter of the alphabet. Since I'm a lovely and kind person (say nothing Carly), I am giving you the choice of two themes. Does that sound doable?


Now for the rules!!

Rule 1- You must you use one of the themes provided

Rule 2- It must be in the Romance genre. If you would like to add another genre, then that's fine

Rule 3- You may use any shipping you desire.

Rule 4- You may use multiple shippings if you wish

Rule 5- It must be in the Pokemon category

Rule 6- The themes MUST go in alphabetical order

Rule 7- You must mention somewhere in the title/summary that the story is for the alphabet challenge

Rule 8- The challenge must be one continuous story, each theme a new chapter- please do not submit each them as a one shot.

Rule 9- Each chapter must be at least 500 words long, not including author's notes etc. There is no upper boundary.

Rule 10- HAVE FUN! (A cliché… yes; but do try and enjoy yourself!)


If you would like to take part in this challenge, please review this "chapter". If you don't, then you can USE the themes, but you can't be IN the challenge.

Your work can be submitted in to any rating you want and it can contain lemon/lime if you want it to. Now, I would also like to bring your attention to a little thing called Poetic Licence. This means that if (for example) in "B" Max died at the age of 24 but in "D" he was alive and was 35… that's OK! You can do that! And you can treat each theme as a different story if you want. Or you may want to continue the challenge as one story, with each them leading to the other as if it were a true multi-chapter story. If this made no sense to you… PM me and I'll try to explain it.


So, I think that's it. I'll be taking part in the challenge to. But as the challenge creator, I'm not eligible for the PRIZE. That's right; there's a prize!

1st place- a certificate and a "trophy"

2nd place- a certificate and a "medal"

3rd place- a certificate and a "badge"

Please note the speech marks- you won't ACTUALLY get a trophy/medal/badge. But you will get a picture of one which is PERSONALIZED! …Yeah it's a suckish prize. But personally, I just love the challenge of it all! I know you may not… but I do!
