CHALLENGE: Resolutions

[wojelah.livejournal.com]

Happy 2011! Hard to believe we're into the second decade of the new millennium - harder still to believe that this kicks off this comm's fourth full year! So we figured, what better way to kick it off than with an eye to the future - and so we're launching the Resolutions Challenge.

Resolution. Noun. Determination, strong will.

Synonyms: aim, boldness, constancy, courage, dauntlessness, decidedness, decision, declaration, dedication, doggedness, earnestness, energy, firmness, fixed purpose, fortitude, guts, heart, immovability, intent, intention, judgment, mettle, moxie, obstinacy, perseverance, pluck, purpose, purposefulness, purposiveness, relentlessness, resoluteness, resolve, settlement, sincerity, spirit, spunk, staunchness, staying power, steadfastness, stubbornness, tenacity, verdict, willpower.

Antonyms: compliance, indecision, weakness.

Courage. Heart. Obstinacy. MOXIE. What about that doesn't suggest Jack and the Doctor, in a million different ways? Tell us about a time they stood firm, or a time that steadfastness wavered and was kept on track. Tell us about a time they resolved to change, or had resolution thrust upon them. Whatever you do, tell us!

As a gentle reminder, please don't crosspost stories for this challenge elsewhere until the challenge closes about one month from now.

And don't forget - leave a comment in THIS post and tell us what you think the next challenge should be - or other ideas you'd like us to consider! We're looking at this year's calendar, and always interested in hearing suggestions. My resolution this year? To write something, even just a drabble, for every challenge. Fingers crossed! (And thank god for Amnesty Month. :D)

That's my resolution, too. :D

Also, what about a five senses challenge? Not sure if you'd want to pick one, or focus on all of them generally, but I thought I would toss it out there.

YAY - company in my madness! And oooh - what an excellent idea....

Ooooh, that's a good one! I won't aim quite that high, but let's say half? I'll try to get something written for at least half of the challenges this year. *makes note*

Love the challenge this month! Maybe I'll actually be able to get something in this time, LOL.

A question: has this comm ever done anything along the lines of a Secret Santa? I really enjoy writing for other's prompts, so I wouldn't mind if we repeated that in the future as well...

Wellll, I had made a general resolution of 'more writing/art, less getting sucked into the Sims ... so count me into your madness too. :)

re: challenge topics: i definitely like plaid_slytherin's idea of the senses challenge (although i suggest leaving the number open - who knows, the doctor may well have more than five?) how about a challenge topic of stories/fables?
