Avadrea's Oddities Challenge
I started this challenge on a writers group and thought I give you dokugans a chance to take part in it as well. This challenge will consist of a series of rare, odd, or just plain obscure words to help inspire new stories and ideas.
Prompts will be posted every Tuesday.
Rules:
1. These prompts can be used in one shots or chapters of an ongoing series.
2. These prompts can be used either for stories or drawings.
3. There is no word count limit other than that required by Dokuga.
4. Please reply to this post with a link to your story or drawing.
5. All entries must follow all Dokuga rules.
6. There is no deadline for prompts. You can use them at any time no matter how long ago they where posted. It is my hope browsing the list will help inspire new ideas and endeavors.
7. The work must be inspired by the word but the word dose not have to appear in the work (I encourage people to try for the fun of it though).
8. The work must be made for the challenge. In the case of an ongoing series that means that the new chapter must be made for the challenge, it dose not mean that the whole piece has to be for the challenge.
9. Stories can be of any rating, but please warn in your post if they are M or MA.
