section7mfuThere is a lot more time -- nine weeks -- for folks to ponder and polish a story for this upcoming HODOWE: San Fermin Story Challenge. So hopefully lots of people will find they have tales they want to write.
CHALLENGE: Write an MFU fanfic story regarding the ideas embodied in San Fermin. The story doesn't have to necessarily mention or include the day by name; just embody a scenario that fits the concept behind it. This is a difficult one for me to provide general ideas as I am not that familiar with the meaning behind the holiday. We all know that the 'main event' of the week-long festival is the running of the bulls. From what I can gather that originated from the mistaken belief that St. Fermin was martyred by being pulled apart between two bulls to which he was tethered. But that story isn't true as it was in reality his bishop who actually suffered that horrific form of martyrdom for his faith. Still, I suppose you could say courage is at the forefront of the holiday, as well as dedication to one's beliefs even in the face of extreme adversity.
STATISTICAL STUFF: Minimum of 500 words with no set maximum. Must fit into the overall concepts of this community, i.e., contain no explicit adult material and reflect the 1960s series in style and content.
POSTING: To this forum (and on fanfiction dot net), starting on July 8th and ending on July 14th.
