A little something <i>wrong</i>. Yea, you heard me right. I enjoy the mishaps, the mistakes, a little bit of witty chaos now and then but you know why? Because I think it reflects you lovelies so darn well.
You try to build perfect little lives with perfect little families but <i>come on</i>!! In the end you all manage to screw it up anyways!
You know <i>what</i>?
I’ll make it easier on you. Let’s just get the niceties out of the way (scrap ‘em) and put our elbows deep in some good, thick, black grease. What you munchkins need is a unique challenge, am I right? Something you haven’t seen around that often, something …<i>all wrong</i>.
Let me just roll out the welcome carpet for those of you who are brave enough or just downright silly enough to try (Erm, well, I think just a bright flash of light will do. Nothing too fancy.) and we can get started:
One of my favorite tales should be familiar to you all, as it comes from a human woman who lived her life without ever finding the romance she wrote about. Twisted, eh? Pride & Prejudice is a novel for the ages and if you haven’t read it, then this SYNOPSIS ought to the do the trick. Really though, you should make it a priority to at least try it out, or watch the movie for goodness sake. Anyways! Your task is to rewrite this romance to suit my needs. Make it wrong, make it goofy, make sure that it doesn’t end how it’s supposed to. Make it real, I suppose.
But don’t make it unnecessarily lengthy. 800 words at the maximum should do it.
In return, I’ll make you all a little less “plastic” for the trouble and those who make it to the end … I’ve got a bag of something you’re sure to be shocked at.</p></div></center>

SYNOPSIS:
FAIR WARNING: Every entry to this quest will receive a defect. These will be permanent.
THE TASK:
- Think your character is weird, brave, or foolish enough to take a risk? You’ve come to the right quest. No one walks away safe from this one but at the same time, didn’t Peter Parker get <i>bit</i> by that radioactive spider? Sounds like things ended up alright with him. Except for uncle Ben …
- Right. Your character(s) experiences a moment of pure, white noise. Just a fingersnap of soundless light and now they’ve become magical floating orbs hanging semicircle with one another, like a little soul campfire meeting. Your Host (that’s me) would like them to retell a famous novel in 800 words or less and to make it wrong, goofy, and end horribly.
- Feel free to include a description of your character being pulled into the quest. You can be aware of the other “orbs” but may not interact with them. Powers aren’t necessary for this adventure, so consider them useless.
- Please PM @[Orb Thing] with any questions/concerns you may have =)
- If you edit your post, please give a reason why (the forum allows you to type out a reason for the edit before you re-post). Failure to do so may result in elimination.
- You may enter up to 3 characters but be warned, they’ll all be grouped together! That’s to say you’ll reply to this thread with your retold story along with the names of the character/s you’d like to enter, and however that story is judged will affect all characters entered. So, if you write your story and enter 3 characters, all 3 will be affected, regardless if you’re eliminated or move on to the next stage.
- To keep this fun, fair, and fresh no two characters entered will receive the same defect.
- ALL ENTRIES DUE BY NOV. 17TH 11:00PM EST
