To request a challenge, you need to make a challenge thread and tell the mods/admins what kind of challenge you want. You will be reusing this thread every time you ask for a challenge in the space of a month, after which, the thread will be locked and archived and you can make a new thread.
The types of challenges are:
100 word challenge - gives a maximum of 100 points (1 challenge word)
200 word challenge - gives a maximum of 200 points (1-2 challenge words)
300 word challenge - gives a maximum of 300 points (2 challenge words)
400 word challenge - gives a maximum of 400 points (2-3 challenge words)
500 word challenge - gives a maximum of 500 points (3 challenge words)
A challenged generally consists of a minimum word count and between 1-3 random words that need to be used in a single post. The tense of the challenge words can be changed to fit writing styles. (past to present tense, singular to plural, etc) The post may be longer than the given word limit, but no shorter. Points will be awarded based on how well you managed to use the words that you were given.
Just because you choose a 500 word challenge does NOT mean you will be awarded with 500 points. If you do horribly, you may be awarded with a very small number, though usually (unless it is clear no effort was made), you will be awarded at least half the points for a challenge.
Your challenge post may be posted in any In-character part of the forum, but you must link back to it in your challenge thread.
The first moderator or admin to see you have asked for a new challenge will give you a set of words, once you have posted, the first admin or moderator to come across your completed challenge will award points.
You may only have one active challenge at a time.
