This is the thread where challenges are to be posted and NOTHING ELSE! Anything else shall be treated as spam! Thank you!
Here is a sample challenge, which I will post an entry for as well and leave it open for review.
Challenge #1
Have a favourite song? Does it have poignant lyrics? Write a short piece of fiction that uses the lyrics of the song as the inspriation behind the action. Take the mental image the song gives and put that vision to words.
Limits
Setting - your choice
Word Count - no limits
Time - no limit
Content - no limit
Misc - the song lyrics must be intermixed with the story. Song lyrics should be marked in some way (bold, italics, etc) with a note at the bottom with the song name and artist.
Good luck to all who participate.

In a poll of Columbia\'s grad school of journalism, 57% believe in ESP, 57% in dowsing, 47% in the ability to read a person aura, and 25 believe in the lost continent of Atlantis
To the River Red, across the ochre steppe
A thousand fathers killed,
A thousand virgin daughters spread with swords still wet,
With swords still wet with the blood of their dead |

Challenge 2
A slightly rewritten version of an challenge from the old OW
A short story consisting of fragments. These fragments can be anything you want. Maybe pages from a diary or memories of an old person remembering some by gone time (for example war veteran remembering fallen comrades).
Limits: no
Setting - no
Word Count - no
Time - no
Content - anything and everything is allowed but give warning when appropriate
Misc - don’t put anything in a fragment that would be unnatural for that kind of fragment. e.g. if the fragments are from a diary then avoid describing the paper or the ink and so on. The Fragments should be important to the story but the volume is up to you.
Have fun

Challenge 3
Instead of starting with the end at the beginning and then going back (as happens all to often) this one will be starting in the middle then going back to tell what happed before going on and telling what happens next.
Limits
Setting - your choice
Word Count - no limits
Time - no limit
Content - no limit
Misc – the beginning of the story is the middle of the entire thing.
