Challenge 300:
CEREMONY

n. a formal act or series of acts prescribed by ritual, protocol, or convention

Births, weddings and funerals, religious services, political and work events – there’s all kinds of ceremonies. Most people will experience at least one or two of those throughout their lives, but they probably won’t be quite the same! Ceremonies change over time, different cultures generally have different rituals and priorities, and some people care much more about ceremonies than others.

How do your characters feel about ceremonies? What kind have they experienced?

Write a story about a ceremony.

BONUS GOAL: All That Glitters

If your submission features gold or silver, it will earn an extra point to be tallied in voting!

Challenge ends Monday, May 11 at 9:00PM EST.

Challenge 299:
UPRISING

It’s dangerous. Even success will probably result in some collateral damage, and failure could have catastrophic consequences. But sometimes, things are just so bad that there’s really only one way out: rising up and doing something about it, no matter the costs along the way.

Would your characters participate in an uprising, given the chance? Would they lead it? Or would they try to stop it, for whatever reason? How does it work out for them?

Write a story about an uprising.

BONUS GOAL: “How do we get rid of you?”

If your submission features this line, it will earn an extra point to be tallied in voting!

Challenge ends Monday, May 4 at 9:00PM EST.

Challenge 298:
DISAPPEARANCE

These days, it’s not easy to disappear. There’s legal records, digital records – it’s hard to vanish entirely. But it’s still not impossible, and some people find it much easier than others. Before cellphone cameras, it was a lot easier, and in a world without modern technology, or with much better technology, it might be easier still.

Do your characters want to disappear? Or are they looking for someone who’s gone missing? How hard is it to vanish, for them? How hard is it to find someone who’s disappeared?

Write a story about a disappearance.

BONUS GOAL: “It’s like he just disappeared into thin air.”

If your submission features this line, it will earn an extra point to be tallied in voting!

Challenge ends Monday, April 27 at 9:00PM EST.

[#297] the spring breeze, revised (Kirby Super Star Ultra/Kirby's Dream Land)

Fri, 17 Apr 2026 23:16:23 GMT

Posted by: ecto_one_spengler

Theme Prompt: #297 - Unexpected Kindness
Title: the spring breeze, revised
Fandom: Kirby (particularly, the Spring Breeze segment of Kirby Super Star Ultra / Kirby's Dream Land (1992))
Rating/Warnings: PG / Allusions to Kirby Star Allies, timeline shenanigans, a Magolor Is Good AU known as Mahoroa of the Stars and a "Void becomes a new Kirby" AU (name pending I guess lol)
Word Count: 992 words :)
Bonus: Yes!!
Author's Note: AND I RETURNETH, HA! It's been a very long while since I've posted on Dreamwidth and the Kirby hyperfixation came back! This was, in part, inspired by this Youtube video I love, hehe. Also, a comic I read recently gave me inspiration. The timeline shenanigans are because of the whole "Void becomes a new Kirby" thing, I may have to explore that in a future writing challenge. Hope ya'll enjoy!
Summary: Newly landed in Dreamland, Kirby, with only the memory of his own name, beats up and then offers friendship to a new man he meets by the name of King Dedede, unknowingly touching the mean penguin's long-lonely heart with his actions.
