Hello, pumpkins! Time for another challenge contest...
A special welcome to any new members! Please feel free to jump straight into competition this week, and don't forget to take a look at our
community guidelines and
community icons. This week, we'll be doing a one-week writing challenge. For a challenge competition, there will be a topic in addition to a constraint of some sort. Winners of challenges will receive a small banner with their name and title of their entry, if applicable.
This week's challenge is...
Topic: Delicate
Constraint: Either no dialog or all dialog
Delicate -- fragile -- weak. There are certainly distinctions between these words, but we approach them all with similar practice. The nuances of a delicate object are generally positive; perhaps we don't want to approach a person, a teacup, a pastry, without an inordinate amount of caution for fear of breaking its form. We respect that which is delicate. What does this mean for your characters?
