I am a fan of this idea. Battles in literature can either be really interesting or really boring - they're tough to write in general (hi Steven S. DeKnight, god of Angel fights!) and vary widely from reader to reader. A CHALLENGE, IS IT?!? *karma*

I like the idea of doing a short piece of a battle, cuz I've always wanted to do a Wesley/Justine fight

I'd love to write out a fight scene. I wrote a few in my first entry, and it was challenging, but very fun. Would we be making up our own fights, or rewriteing one from the series, though?

It would be better to make up your own in my opinion. But either is good.

I think that this would be cool as well. There'd be plenty of options to go for: Epic multi-character fights Re-telling existing fights New character pair-ups I'm on board.

Re-telling existing fights and new character pair-ups are the most fun imo. Epic multi-character is a little challenging cuz you have to keep your mind on all the characters involved and what they're gonna do or are doing. But overall, fight scenes are so fun

Your so adorable ;D What length/style would be do for a fight? Is that "would we do" or "would be good"? I'm personally a fan of "would we do" myself. (Just jesting ya ) Anything bigger than a double-drabble is good. Gonna need enough words to describe the situation.

How about setting a reasonably open limit, like minimum 200 words, maximum 1000 words?

LOL @ HH... No I really meant what would be do... tehee. Yeah that's a good suggestion Gumgnome! Some people like to write more, some less! Maybe a smaller limit though so they are all SIMILAR lengths. Like 500 minimum 1000 maximum, or 200 minimum 700 maximum or something?

I think we should write an entire book *Puts on serious face* I would need over 500 words for sure to make an interesting battle. Does anyone know when a new challenge would be starting? Just curiosity, you know that thing that killed the cat or dog or something.

A min/max word limit is a good idea. Flexibility for the win!

Okay, sounds like we've got a popular vote going here. Look for an announcement from The Muse very soon.

Hey guys, so what do we want to do for our fourth challenge? What are the favorite prompt ideas?
How about a Crossover prompt? Where you crossover the Buffyverse (BtVS and AtS) with Dollhouse, Firefly or Dr Horrible.

^ That sounds good to me. Would it only be Whedon related things though or could we say cross-over The Highlander with Dollhouse or Harry Potter with Buffy or something like that? The thing I worry about with that though is it may be too wide a range and not enough people would know enough about that particular "verse" to vote on it. So yea, maybe we should just do a crossover between Whedon stuff.
Do we need a special theme to stick to or anything, or just crossing them over will be the only criteria? This is gonna be kind of hard for me cause I'm ashamed to admit, but I haven't gotten around to watching Firefly at all yet. I have never seen any of it! (insert shocked gasps here, I know, and i call myself a Joss worshipper.) Lol
