Weekly Challeng for 24th-31th March, 2006:  One Hour Challenge #660 by Princess Destiny - Scene:  Your 'Couple' both go to the local Carnival and end up in competition with each other over every game there.  Such as Balloon Dart, pop gun and hoola hoop throwing etc.

About The Challege:  It's LIKE a Round Robin, but we don't all write the same story, even though we're using the same plot.  Anyone can join and do a Response Fanfic within the weekly dates specified in the Challenge Subject line above.

Challenge Time-Frame:  A Challenge will be issued each week, using either old or new One Hour Challenges from up here at the Archives. Since we don't have a Participants List as we did when posting to the Mailing Lists, you aren't obligated to write for the Challenge issued that week.  It would be really nice if we could get a lot of people writing though.

What To Write The Fanfic Challenge Response About?  You write about a Couple in the Archives up here, based on the 'Scene' or 'Sentence' issued in the Challenge.  Just click on 'Respond To The Challenge' under this Challenge and you submit it as you would any Fanfic in this Archive.

Who Issues The Challenges?  For now, myself.  Anyone adding a Challenge without checking with me first will have it deleted.  Anyone wanting to issue the next week's Challenge will need to go to the Archive's Message Board and ask me there.  All questions can also be asked there.

Have fun!
Princess Destiny

Weekly Challenge for 1st-8th April 2006:  One Hour Challenge #661 by Princess Destiny - Sentence: 

"April Fools!"

"Just so you know-mistletoe is used for Christmas.  But since it's hanging there, I think I'll take my reward anyway."

History:   The One Hour Challenges were created by me in early 2002.  I thought it would be fun to write your Fanfiction around actual Scenes or Sentences that were thought up.  It turned out to be very popular!  :)

How to play:   You pick a Challenge from the list of Scenes or Sentences on the Challenges page, a pairing from the Archives and then you have one hour to write as much Fanfiction as you can!  All Fanfiction also goes into the Archives.  Challenges are posted whenever possible by myself.

Rules:

1. You must post all 'Challenge Responses' to the 'One Hour Challenge' Community here, as well as the Site.  As it (And the old list) was created especially for the Challenges, it's only fair to post it both places for the other writer's to read and learn from!

2. If you are submitting to the site, your Fanfics must be a [HE] or [UE] Rating in the Subject line of your email to the List.  To find out what these Ratings mean, go here.  UE Ratings will not be put up in the Archives.  If you're submitting directly to the site, then you'll just submit as per usual without the code above.

3. You can use more than One Challenge for each Fanfic.  In fact, many of us use a dozen or more.

4. You do not have to write the Challenge Responses in order of Challenges posted to the Community or how they appear on on the Site.

5. You may also do Crossovers, as long as both lots of main Characters in each show are 'Couples' from the Archives.

6. If you decide that your Fanfic is going too well to finish it in an hour, you can send it to the Community/site it as a Multi-Part and post any further Chapters to the here also :)  Only the first Chapter need have taken an hour.  Additional Chapters have no time limit on them.

7. You may also post a Series, but each Fanfic must use a Challenge from the OHC's.

8. All One Hour Challenges Reponse Fanfics go into the One Hour Challenges Archives here at our site.  As the Challenges were made specifically for Destiny's Gateway Romance Fanfiction Archives, it's only polite to have them up at the site for everyone to read.  Please do not use the Challenges and post them elsewhere without posting them to the Community or to the Archives.   It's very rude and it's not acknowledging that you used idea's from this site for your stories.

9. Anyone is free to submit a 'Scene' or 'Sentence' to me to post up to this site and theOHC List for everyone to use.  Please do not add them to the Challenges page on the Site without permission.  They all have specific numbers.  The Challenges cannot be too adult, as minors will be reading them and taking the Challenges also.  Please send it to:    princessdestiny@destinysgateway.com

10. As per the Community and Site Rules, you can post a Fanfic of any pairing up at the Site and any rating.  If you write for a pairing or show that hasn't been added to the site, don't worry, we'll be happy to add it in for you so that you can submit your Fanfics there.  :)

Challenges:

A Sentence must be included in your Fanfic, spoken by someone.  (Exactly as read.  Do not change the words around, or break it up to be spoken by different people.)

A Scene is what must be included within the Fanfic, or have the storyline based on.

Posting Format:

All Challenges must be posted with the following Format in the summary of your Fanfic submission with your usual Fanfic details:  One Hour Challenge #?:  (Please put here the Number of the Challenge you are using)   Eg:  'One Hour Challenge' #657: Response Fanfic. Add Summary...

ok, This is for you Inuyasha fans. I've yet to hear about the funny/ romantic antics of the feudal era roaming characters. So here it goes.

Pic a holiday, doesn't have to be valentines, and tell a story of what some of the characters might be doing. It can be humorous, or romantic and any coupling goes! The story must be at least 1000 words long.

Good luck!!

INSTRUCTIONS: You're going to make a one-hour fan fiction. You may choose from the following pairings (only one):

1. Sora and Leon (from Kaleido Star)

2. Kagome and Inuyasha (from Inuyasha)

Okay, here's the summary of the fanfic:

(girl character) and (boy character) are reminded by a psychic that they are destined for another. Why would they believe in such ridiculous guess? But, it did happen. One night, (boy character) admits to (girl character) how much he loves her, and vice versa. They kiss each other under the moon's light.
