Hello readers, just another unknown FanFiction writer here.
I was just being yelled at to get of the internet and read. Which I usually love doing, but I was looking at a really funny video of a cat trapped in a cardboard box and I was distracted. So anyway, I walked over to the bookshelf and kneeled down to where all the good books are. (I keep the best ones at shin height.) After sorting through a pile of comic books, I found a thick, fake leather backed book. Would you be familiar with the series, The Complete Worst-Case Scenario Handbook? It's basically a very long and epic book, filled with every how-to you could think of. I took the book into my room and perched on the edge of my bed, leafing through the pages.
I assume that at this point you're wondering why I decided to show you a sample from my long winded diary. But first let me finish my story.
Suddenly, the greatest idea ever popped into my head*.
I would create a oneshot compilation of story prompts written by the amazing people of the Harry Potter FanFiction world. So here's the deal. Every month or so, I'll send out a story prompt, along with one or two characters the story should be about. For example:
This Months Prompt:
How To: Date Three People At Once
With: Dean Thomas
OR
This Months Prompt:
How To: Survive an Avalanche
With: George Weasley
Do you get it so far? Are you following me? Your job is to send me a PM or a review saying 'I'd simply love to partake in this month's challenge' or something of that nature. Then, write a oneshot or a songfic or a poem or anything. So long as it sticks to the main how to and the chosen character has a main role in the story. This is just a prompt, go crazy with your own ideas. I'll post all submissions, and you're welcome to post them on your own account. Just put 'For The How-To Challenge' in the summary.
If you have any questions, just PM me, or ask in the comments.
This Months Prompt:
How To: Crash Land a Plane
With: Serious black
*It's possible that some other idea outshines mine by a little bit.
