Rapt Silhouette

For My Challenge, One (me) Must:

Include at least one problem in each story. Not every story will end happily, for real life does not. Stay in character, but twist enough to use the probmlems. Draw out the problem in as much detail as possible as to feel how it really is. Do not place more than three problems in each story. Too much drama kills the entire plot, but real-life drama is acceptable. Do not mock the problems listed. No parody or satire, unless the problem itself is taken seriously in the plot. Follow normal fanfiction rules. They can be any rating, but follow normal rating guidlines. Complete each story within a two or three month duration, unless it is planned to be longer than ten chapters. (In which case you may have unlimited time to edit and post stories on fanfic.net or other fanfic sites. See below list for completion details.)

Problems/Troubling Situations:

1. Depression
2. Anorexia
3. Bulemia (both ED's can be put into one problem. But they are not the same.)
4. Alcoholism
5. Drug Abuse
6. Rape
7. Murder
8. Arrest
9. Moving Away
10. Death (close friend, family, loved one)
11. Fighting (with loved one or anyone)
12. Backstabbing
13. Theft
14. Cheating
15. Lying
16. Falling Out of Love, or Losing Significant Other's Love
17. War
18. Poverty
19. Loss of Home (or lackthereof)
20. Lonliness
21. Anxiety
22. Paranoia
23. OCD's or Other Psychological Issues
24. Insanity
25. Memory Loss
26. Divorce
27. Miscarriage or Abortion
28. Physical Damage (Wounds, Handicaps, etc.)
29. Infertility
30. Natural Disasters (Fire, Hurricanes, Floods, Thunderstorms, Tornado)
31. Kidnappings
32. Indifference

Note: The problems can be used on anyone in the story from the main character to the friend-of-distant-relative's-cousin's-aunt's-dog's (you get the picture) owners'-sister's-dad. As long as you remember to include full details of how the problem is affecting the main character. (But you know it's easier making the main character have the problem. Sometimes easy isn't the way, though, so have fun with this.)

Once you are complete with a story, you may upload it onto free fanfiction websites, such as http://www.fanfiction.net . If you'd like me to read your fic, feel free to email me it or send me the link to your fanfic site. I would love to read and review your work.

I, Maranda, do expect to do most of these problems. No one has to 'claim' a problem in order to do it. Just do whichever feels more comfortable to do.

Have fun.

Good luck.
