I'm thinking, at least for now, I'll post a new challenge every Friday, with the due dates being around 5 weeks afterwards (depending on the specific challenge, possibly). This thread will be checked for ideas... let's say every Thursday, so I have time to decide. I'll try to read as many as possible.
This may not be the permanent way things are going to be run, but until more suggestions come through on the discussion thread, this seems like a decent option.
Anyway, you've got about two days to come up with some ideas for the first one. Enjoy! (Also, for the time being, all contests are going to have a rating requirement of Teen or lower. If there's really a need for this sort of thing in regards to mature fics and/or clop, I'll make a separate group or something.)
3552167 I like your optimism. I'll try to get more involved once things settle down, but at the moment I'm busy working, helping a surprising number of readers with gender identity crises, and settling into my new role as a GM of the Changeling Panic group. Busy busy, as always!
3490659 Offering a potential scenario: "There'll come a day when she'll settle down, kick off her boots and put on her crown, but 'til then, ask anypony around, she's just a ramblin' mare."
The prompt: One of the princesses (preference for Celestia, but any would be acceptable) as the main character in a 'WalkingtheEarth' style storyline. [Warning - Links lead to TVTropes pages. Peruse at your own risk.]

Alright, I guess I'll make the first suggestion, then? If no one else wants to...
First idea: Story based off of a song! Cliché, but fun!
Okay! Yay!
...still no suggestions...

Sorry, Deli. My life's been far more eventful of late than I'd expected. I haven't even been able to start on the song-based ficlet!
3551779 It's alright, don't worry about it. Seems like this group is off to a bit of a slow start, but I'm sure it'll get up and running eventually!
