Every character has a story to tell.

Strands of Fate gives you a chance to tell these stories through an extended series of short glimpses into their lives, weaving together a tapestry that illustrates your character in a wide variety of different scenarios. This will help us, as fellow writers, to see your character in a different light and attain a new perspective, but will also help you to breathe new life into your character. With so many changes coming through the Brotherhood, this is a perfect time to show us how all these changes affect you. Using the given prompt, compose a short fiction entry that portrays the aspect of your character as stipulated.

Each competition will have a two-week timeframe and a word count maximum of 750 words. All Strands of Fate competitions will be graded using the Arcona fiction rubric.

It is recommended that you subscribe to and complete these prompts ahead of time - not only will this mean you have plenty of time to write them, but by completing them ahead of time that you have a more rounded and better idea for your character for other Brotherhood fiction events before the completion date of these events.

The Sun Revolves Around...

For all of us, there is something in our lives already that we adore, that we absolutely cannot live without. What is this? What, whom, where is the idol of your worship? What forms the very being of your beliefs and fills your thoughts on a daily basis? Is it a person? A place? An ideal? How did they come to be so important to you?
