Villainy: A Writing Challenge

Rules & Prompts

|RULES|

 1. Let me know that you are taking the Villainy challenge by tagging your story with MeridianJames and Villainy so that I can find it and add it to my reading list. Or you can send me a link to your story. (I don't require dedications or follows. If you want to dedicate something to me that's great and if not that's fine too.)

2. Do NOT write about or glorify the acts of sexual abuse, child abuse, etc. and expect me to be like, "Wow this is amazing!" Because it's NOT  and I NOT will hesitate to report your story if it has any of this disgustingness.

3. Do NOT plagiarize under any circumstance.

4. Don't beat yourself up over this challenge. This is just a challenge I made about villains because first, I'm obsessed with Frozen, Wicked, Loki and all the other Disney villains I've failed to mention. Second, I really like it when authors and directors give backstory on a character especially a villain (i.e.  Elphaba from Wicked or Elsa from Frozen.) Third, have you seen my entry for A Study in Femininity? I haven't even started it yet so I am definitely NOT going to rush you on this challenge. Just take your time and have fun. Write the way YOU want to write (i.e. novel, short stories, poem, etc)-whatever works best for you.
