Reverse challenge, what is that?
Well, unlike the normal challenge where you choose a pairing/character and then a list of 7 prompts you get to pick one prompt and make a list of 7 pairings/characters.
There are so many ways to do this challenge that I decided to sort them into levels, when signing up pick the level you want to challenge yourself with, and remember they don’t have to be together as a pairing in the story, they could just be the main characters, in so case just write “and” instead of the normal “/”.
If you find this challenge interesting and wisht to give it a go then head over to the
signup post and make a claim, remember you can have one ordinary claim and one reverse claim at the same time.
Here are the different levels to play with:
Level 1 : A few of your favourite things. You can’t use the same pairing/character (if gen) in more than one line. You can also do this as a combination challenge if you wish, pick 3-4 characters and combine those into as many pairings as you like.
Example Level 1 : Harry/Draco, Draco, Draco/Ron, Harry/Charlie
Level 2 : No repeats. You can’t use the same character more than once, this means the characters can’t be repeated on any other line (they can as a side character but should not be the main focus, unless you want to really challenge yourself), this also applies if they are used as a single character.
Example Level 2 : Harry/Ginny, Draco, Ron and Hermione, Dean/Seamus
Level 3 : Daisy Chain. If you don’t know what this means just imagine 7 characters holding hands in a circle, each two hands holding will be a pairing/gen couple on the card, and the last one will connect with the first.
Example Level 3 : Harry/Ginny, Ginny/Luna, Luna/Draco, Draco/Harry
Level 4 : The well travelled. This is sort of like the first level, but here you pick one character and that character will be paired up with seven other characters (you can also have one single for that main character). I know this is like the normal challenge where you have claimed one character, but the difference is that you only have one prompt.
Example Level 4 : Luna/Draco, Luna/Rolf Scamander, Luna/Harry, Luna and family
Level 5 : Generator list. Use
-this generator-, pick whatever interests you and generate your list of characters. Now, if you really REALLY don’t like a pairing or find it too hard fitting them to the prompt, or if you’ve been stuck and can’t come up with a plot for the story you’re allowed to change the pairing, this level is more of a random round. If this is a round which interests you you could also generate the pairings first and then pick a prompt to do that fits before signing up.
Example Level 5 : Just add whichever pairing you get, I got: Millicent/Luna, Luna/Fred, Victor Krum/Tom Riddle, Draco/Bellatrix.
Don't forget to claim a level if you find this challenge interesting.
