BISHOVA HOLLIDAY CHALLENGE 2023
On November 24 it will be two years since Marvel brought the Hawkeye series to the little screen. 6 episodes and 5 weeks of getting to know Kate Bishop and watching her annoy Clint. Although watching Kate and Clint interact was fun nothing compares to when Kate met Yelena the younger sister of Natasha the OG Black Widow. (RIP). Despite having less then 45 minutes of screen time their chemistry was unforgettable. Thus, Bishova was born and all the amazing fanfiction writers around the world created amazing stories about these two. So, with the anniversary of the show coming up, I decided to create a Bishova Holiday Challenge.
These prompts will have mini-ideas attach to them but you do not have to follow to the tea just think to the general theme. The stories must be posted on A03.
You can prewrite your stories and co-write them with others. But they cannot be published before the challenge. It is encouraged that you participate in all 5 weeks but if you can it’s all good.
Week 1: Nov 19th – Nov 25th
Week 2: Nov 26th – Dec 2nd
Week 3: Dec 3rd – Dec 9th
Week 4: Dec 10th – Dec 16th
Week 5: Dec 17th – Dec 23rd
There will be 5 weekly winners and one Grand winner. After each week I will create a poll with the stories that qualified, and readers can pick the winner. To qualify as the Grand Winner, you must write a story for all 5 weeks.
If I can find an artist to work with me the Grand Winner will get a custom art piece to go with their story of their pick for the challenge.
Start Date will be Nov 19th and End Dec 23rd.
Each story can only be a one shot or a mini story with no more than 3 chapters.
When posting the stories use the tag BishovaHolidayChallenge23.
If you want to challenge yourself following the recommended rating guide/ but it will not be required. (Rating G-E) * The recommended guide will be listed with the prompts.
You cannot post all 5 stories at once. If you are doing the week one prompt is has to be posted with week one.
