Christmas
Character Bash
2014

T’was the days before Christmas and all through Pokémon Crossroads, writers were hustling as for the holidays they prepared. Set aside for the moment’s time, the children of their ink received a small reprieve. But not removed from their author’s thought, yet another story waited to be told. For they, too, had plans of their own. Whether far from home in the midst of a desperate winter, or by the warm of a fire surrounded by loved ones, your characters, too, may take part in the season of hope and joy.

And so, my fellow authors, let us come together to celebrate this time of year, and give our creations a chance to join in as well!

This is the Christmas Character Bash, where you can show how your characters celebrate the holidays. Any holiday you celebrate is welcome (I just picked Christmas in the title because I love alliteration too much, haha) and, in fact, there is no limit to your creativity. You can use both fan-fiction and original fiction characters (canon or otherwise) in these stories, and your submissions can be as long or short as you’d like! Wanna break that fourth wall? By all means! Wanna go serious or humorous? Either one works! You can also interact with other authors’ characters if you like, but be sure to contact them ahead of posting your submission. Collaboration is a-okay!

While I don’t have specific rules for you (other than to obey all PXR forum rules), I have a few suggestions for format:

Title: (optional)
Cast: (Place in spoiler tags—background information on the characters used)

[Story]

While this isn’t a contest, I thought it might be something fun to get your creative juices flowing. Sometimes it’s worth it to take your character out of their story and just play around with them for a bit, and you might learn something about them that you didn’t know before. Well, I think that’s enough for introductions. Get out there and start writing!

I wish you all a Happy Holiday!

This is a cool idea. :D I still have no characters so I am gonna try and make one up for this. XD Looking forward to seeing what everyone else comes up with!

[Scytherwolf]

Oh wow, I've gotta do this. XD

Definitely going to use the Path of Destiny cast. I'd love to write a weird (probably humorous) non-canon "Christmas Special" type thing with them!

Hey, thanks guys! :D I actually tried this last year, but didn't get any stories ^^''''' But I have high hopes for it this year! :D I got one myself that's almost done ^^

@Scy: YESH! DO EET! 8D

This would be the kind of thing where you could earn a badge or token from. Could still be a contest of sorts and the winner gets theirs posted on the site and it could help draw more attention to the writing section.

I'm so in for this. I have that perfect ship for the Christmas season...

[Noblejanobii]

I think this would be a great first writing project for me on this site!

If we get enough entries, maybe we could post all of them on the site ^^ I don't really want to turn it into a contest because I see this as more of a writing exercise, something's that meant to be fun and maybe even a little wacky :)


And awesome guys! I'm looking forward to seeing your stories :D

[Pokemon Trainer Sarah]

Featuring them all in a site article seems like a cool idea. :D We can give out a token for participating!
