A Ghost Whisperer Fanfiction Challenge
Disclaimer
I don't own Ghost Whisperer nor any character connected. Someone else does.
A/N
I am issuing this challenge within the story itself so many can read it. If this were a standalone challenge then it would violate the rules of FF of no challenge issued within the story section. Since I am issuing this challenge as a chapter of one of my completed stories then it should not violate that rule.
I challenge authors to write a romance story using Melinda as the lead protagonist.
Conditions:
1) Jim/Sam, Rick Pain, or Eli CANNOT be used as her love interest.
2) She must be married to Jim.
3) You cannot show Jim as a bad person, but merely as a victim instead.
4) Lemons are optional but the story must be at least worthy of a T rating.
5) There should be repercussions of her liaison.
6) Chapters should be between 1200 to 2500 words. Of course, you could do just one very long chapter such as I did with Attractions. I do understand about exceptions to the rule.
7) When another person starts speaking then please start another paragraph. (it's easier understand who is talking and when)
8) Insert a double space between paragraphs.
A/N
Geez the last the conditions are really about style but considering I have read a lot of stories that at first unreadable until I transfer them to my computer and spend at least an hour correcting the style before I can enjoy it I thought I should take some time to go over basic writing 101. I understand you want to have your own style and you can, as long the reader can understand it and I mean the mass of readers not just the few.
I know that Attractions meet most of the conditions of this challenge already. I am issuing this challenge because I am seeing a trend of seeing others just following along the same old beaten path as the series gave out. I just don't see where the imagination is being challenged or used in that case. I love stories were the authors do not use the same formulas of the series. It leads to new and very exciting possibilities. I hope this challenge ignites a new trend but I understand there are a lot out there that really LOVE the dynamic of Jim and Melinda or any other cannon couple. Do not get me wrong here. I am not condemning those stories. I would never do that being an author myself. I applaud their courage to put themselves out there like that and some of them are very well written. I just wish more stories I can sink my teeth into as well.
