HODOWE: Holidays of Dubious Origins Writing Event

[ssclassof56.livejournal.com]

The Unified Northern Casualty and Liability Exchange proudly presents the Holidays of Dubious Origins Writing Event.

February 16th - Do a Grouch a Favor Day
February 17th - Random Act of Kindness Day

At this busy, festive time of year, it is easy to lose sight of the true spirit of the season. We at the U.N.C.L.E. remind you to pause, take pen in hand, and express to your cousins how much they mean to you. Our Holidays of Dubious Origins Writing Event is the perfect addition to your celebrations.



For the HODOWE, write a story that embraces the spirit of one of the minor, strange, or obscure holidays below. (Click the links for more information.) If you have already written a story that fits with either prompt, please repost it.

Do a Grouch a Favor Day

Random Act of Kindness Day

Section VII is a Gen & Gen-mature site. Stories that are Het, long-term romance & AU can be posted in the Map Room. All other genres post in UNCLE du Jour.

Posting Dates: Saturday, February 16th through Friday, February 22nd

Word Count: 300 minimum, no maximum (For this shorter posting window, we welcome shorter pieces. Why not try a triple drabble?)

I love having HODOWE back! These dubious holidays are a perfect point of re-entry.

Thanks. I’m hoping for some good reads, and that maybe my own muse will supply something. :)

OMG I didn't know you were taking up the gauntlet on this one. Alynwa just recc-ed one of my Hodowe stories from 2012 and I had replied to her that I missed this challenge.

Welcome back to you and the challenge! Love your banner and will add it to the collection.

I scheduled a story for the 17th!

Thanks! The plan is to vary the GEC with some HODOWE, and maybe even a What’s My Line? :) Looking forward to your post!

Great idea to switch things around! What's My Line was always a fun challenge as well. Yay!
