CHALLENGE: Resolutions

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)

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 [livejournal.com profile] 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?
