1. Wish Challenge 
Give a character a wish and describe what they would do with it, as well as what they were thinking when they received it and how they came to a decision on how to use it. It can be funny, romantic, tragic, dramatic, etc.  Submitted by Amber 

2. Dumb Challenge: 
A character is struck dumb (can't talk) and either blind OR deaf. How do they communicate? Why can't they talk, see or hear? What do they do about it? Who did it or who helps them? How did it happen? Do they recover? Is it permanent? Is it a practical joke? Do they freak out? Have fun! 

3. Torture Challenge
Take your favorite character and torture them. Make it playful or not. Torture doesn't have to be violent. Torture could be watching someone you're infatuated with stand near you in a sweat drenched t-shirt, digging a hole in the clinging heat, their muscles flexing and rippling. Or, it could be suspecting you won the lotto and someone is purposely hiding your ticket from you. It could mean you're being held down and tickled until you cry. It can be many things, not just violent things. Use your imagination! Have fun!

4. Curse Challenge
Curse your favorite characters. Make it an interesting curse, funny, serious, spooky, romantic, whatever. How did they get it? Why? When? What happens while they're cursed? How do they get rid of it? DO they get rid of it?  Submitted by Amber. 

5. Avalanche challenge:
Trap a character in an avalanche with room to breathe for a while. Were they on shore leave, searching for something or doing battle? Do they get themselves out? Reflect on life? Panic? Get rescued? Die? Repent? Go insane? Are they injured? If it's Trance, does she have powers to get herself out (sorry, I have this mental image of her tail poking out from the snow and waving.)If it's Rommie, how does the snow affect her mechanics? If it's Tyr or Beka, do they realize their feelings for each other or another and does one rescue the other? Or, does Dylan find he can't live without Beka or Rommie and search for them? So many questions, so many different answers.

6. One of the characters gets their fortune read or told by a spooky old woman. Is it good, bad, revealing or comforting for the character? Does it come to pass in your story or is it for the distant future?

7. Secret admirer challenge:
A character has a secret admirer. Is it a lover, a stalker a murderer? Is it someone on board the Andromeda, someone they just met, never met, or someone from their past?

8. First sight Challenge: 
Write about Rommie's feelings the first time she either: saw Dylan from her avatar form or realized she loved him. 

9. Accident Challenge 
A character either has an accident and must cope with the outcome, or knows someone that was involved in an accident and must help them cope.  The character must be the cause of the accident. 
For example: Trance causes the Maru to crash and another crewmember is injured, possibly unconscious. What does she do? OR, the All-Knowing Harper finds he's not perfect. He accidentally causes something to go wrong inside the Andromeda that injures other members of the crew or himself. (Maybe he screws up the oxygen supply or causes someone an electric shock.) OR, Tyr sabotages the Maru and then finds himself aboard and decides to rescue Beka, who's piloting, when it crashes and burns.  Submitted by Amber

16. ROMANCE CHALLENGE submitted by Amber 

Are you a hopeless romantic? Do you sit around and plot the ways a pair of characters should come together? Do you wish those two favourite characters on that show would just see what you see and get it together? If so, then this challenge is for you!
Write a fic, be it original or fan, of any length and any rating, though please clearly mark the rating for those younger or sensitive readers. If original, it can be any genre, though it has to have an element of romance in it somewhere: one kiss, one passionate embrace, one intimate 'moment' together, etc. If you can include all three of those, feel free. Be as romantic as possible, without delving right into something sickly sweet. *smile*
Use your own thread or use one from below:

-- Male character has some sort of disability, but Female doesn't mind, finding it attractive nonetheless.

Good things come in threes: three blind mice, three billy goats gruff....
Write a story containing three sets of three somethings. It doesn't matter what they are. Try to make them important to the plot. Use your imagination. 

22. Originality challenge:
There are no original plots, we've all heard this. Originality differentiates a story and makes it popular. Take a favorite story of yours or that you've read and change it up, make it original. Change the point of view character, change settings, follow your imagination and do whatever comes into your head without worrying what anyone will think of it. Rewrite the story FOR YOU. Then post it. If the story is too long, rewrite your favorite part.
