TDE's April History Challenge!

Postby Honeybee » Tue Mar 27, 2012 9:32 pm

Since last year's history challenge was such a smashing success, we're going to do it again this here. It's very simple.

You will be given a random historical period.

You will write an Enterprise story that takes place in that period. It can be a time travel story or a reincarnation story or something along those lines. But it must be actually in that period on Earth - not on an Earth-like planet.

I'll come up with a brand new list of historic periods for this round.

Sign up here. On April 4th, I'll close the thread and make assignments.

For inspiration, here's the series containing last year's awesome results:

Sign me up! I'm a huuuuge history buff. :) (And maybe a challenge will help freshen the inspiration.)

Sign me up! I really enjoyed it last year.
Old enough to know better, but that's never stopped me before.

Ah, why not. I've got nothing better to do, and I'm a huge history buff. Sign me up.

Maybe this will get me back into a writing mood so I can finish the two different fics I started up months ago.

Awesome! There's still plenty of time to sign up. I've got a running tally in the first post of who's in. This was soooo much fun last year.

Is there going to be a specific range of time periods from which you'll choose, or are you just going to pick eras at random? Last year's challenge was before I joined the board, so this is totally new for me.

Good question. Totally random, from ancient times to 20th Century. Usually give an era, and a location.

For example, last year there were things like Ancient Greece, Imperial Rome and Europe During WWI.
