Fourteen Days + Seven Prompts = One Story
The next contest round will start October 15, 2009 at 11:59 pm WDC time.
If you want to participate, just post in the forum. You will then get added to this group for easier communication, reminders, and prompts. "14 Days, 7 Prompts, 1 Story Group" 
First prompt.
In your story, it has to be fall, at least in the beginning. If you are in a spaceship, find a way to mention the season. In this chapter something has to be born.
Please highlight the sentences that mention fall and what is being born in some way. Make it bold using these pieces of WritingML {b} and {/b}, or write in ALL CAPITALS, or use color. Just give me a way to "see" the prompt parts easily.
Due on or before October 17, 2009; 11:59PM WDC time.
Second prompt.
In your chapter, there has to be a tree, tell me about colors and an animal.
Remember to highlight the sentences that relate to the prompt words in bold, ALL CAPITALS or in color.
Due on or before October 19, 2009; 11:59PM WDC time.
Third prompt.
Today, a gun has to be a part of the story. If you can't have guns because of period, dimension, space travel issues, invent another weapon and tell me about it. You do not have to hurt anybody.
Have any character in your story say or think a profound philosophical phrase.
Remember to highlight the prompt words/phrases in bold, or ALL CAPITALS, or color.
Due on or before October 21, 2009; 11:59PM WDC time.
Fourth prompt.
Talk about a chance not taken by one of the characters. That can happen right now or be something form the past. Show me a consequence from not having taken the chance.
Remember to highlight the prompt words/phrases in bold, or ALL CAPITALS, or color.
Due on or before October 23, 2009; 11:59PM WDC time.
Fifth prompt.
Incorporate the words glass, wood, metal, rock, feather in this chapter.
Remember to highlight the prompt words/phrases in bold, or ALL CAPITALS, or color.
Due on or before October 25, 2009; 11:59PM WDC time.
Sixth prompt.
Remember prompt four? That chance not taken? It's back and this time the characters takes that chance! How does it impact his/her life and how will it lead to the story's climax in this second to last chapter?
Remember to highlight the prompt words/phrases in bold, or ALL CAPITALS, or color.
Due on or before October 27, 2009; 11:59PM WDC time.
Seventh prompt.
In this final chapter, wrap up the plot. It is not necessary to kill anybody in this chapter, just don't leave me with a cliffhanger or unanswered questions. If you created a mystery earlier on, explain it now. Sounds easy so far? Good, because I think this round was tough. But, just to not spoil the fun entirely, find a way to incorporate the phrase a child's laughter. It could be a metaphore, or an actual child, surprise me.
Remember to highlight the prompt words/phrases in bold, or ALL CAPITALS, or color.
Due on or before October 29, 2009; 11:59PM WDC time.
