HASA news - Challenges

Current and prospective Challenges, and the Nuzgûl of the Month: because sleep is for those without inspiration...

Birthday Challenges

Is your birthday in May and would you like a drabble about your favourite character or topic? You can request it here.

The April Challenge is still going on, so why not take a few minutes to write someone a birthday drabble?

Not sure what the birthday cards are about? Have a look at stories written for previous requests.

Current and closing Challenges

April 2010 Birthday Cards - closes April 30

Prospective Challenges

Challenges are born from Prospective Challenges, and the Prospective Challenges Forum is where you’ll find out what other people would like to spring on unsuspecting authors...
Some recent suggestions in the Forum:
- What triggered the attack in Moria?
- Why didn’t the barrow-wight take the Ring?

Dive in and pick something you’d like to write, or drop a suggestion that you’d like others to write.

Nuzgûl of the Month

Just as Challenges come from Prospective Challenges, Prospective Challenges come from Nuzgûl, and Nuzgûl need attention to grow from tiny ideas into all-dominating obsessive thoughts that keep you from your sleep and monopolise every waking minu^^^... erm... yes, well... Put on your mithril boots and step into the Nuzgûl hutch. Who knows what ideas you may come out with?

And just to make that dive into the hutch that little bit(e) more attractive, have a taster of what is in there:

The Nuzgûl of the Month!
This month’s fanged beauty is A Plague on Both your Houses:

Think you want to write it? Come on over to the forum, see how many others you can inflict this idea on, and perhaps even turn it into a Challenge.

Thank you for reading at HASA. Have fun!
