We all know the drill: Valentine's day is around the corner, people shy and bold buy gifts for their loved ones, or the ones they hope will become that one day ... many a story has been written on the topic, but - some characters always get left out. So, we gotta change that!
Welcome to the third holiday writing challenge: Minor Characters Need Love, Too!
The challenge is to write a short Valentine's Day themed scene: how will the character of your choice go about showing their affection? Will their efforts be rewarded, or will the spines come out? This time around, your PoV character can NOT be one of the following: Shinji, Asuka, Rei, Misato or Kaworu. They hogged the attention badly enough! Of couse, the aforementioned characters can still be the target of affection of your PoV character, whether you choose Hyuga or Hikari or ... Gendo?
Here are the rules:
- The word limit is 400 words or less.
- The time limit is 7 days, as always!
- With the exception of Shinji, Asuka, Rei, Misato or Kaworu, every character appearing in Evangelion is eligible to be your PoV character!
- The scene must take place on Valentine's Day!
- Everything else is up to you - let your imagination fly! And as always: the most important thing is that you have fun!
- Once you're done, post your story here in a spoiler, with the wordcount as the spoiler title, like this: [*spoiler="Word count xxx"]TEXT[/spoiler]. Simply remove the * for it to work. The title of your work doesn't count towards the wordcount and can be mentioned outside the spoiler!
So that's it! Discussion, feedback and questions go HERE.
