The Very Secret Diary Challenge
WhatThe Very Secret Diary Challenge is a chance to jump inside the head (and heart!) of your favourite character, and show us part of the books from THEIR perspective - via a short diary note format. Whether it's their secret obsessions, long time crushes, silent irritations, dysfunctional relationships or general peculiarities - lay it bare for us! For examples of VSDs, check out ones previously written for Roger and Gary (a long time ago!) to get an idea of what they entail. The main objective is to be short (with the diary entries), sharp and a bit silly - within the confines of canon! Note that there is no hard or fast rule of what timeframe the VSD should cover - it can cover a few weeks, or a few years. All characters are fair game as subjects - except the sheroes (and Briar) during their own book (i.e. you can write Alanna during Emperor Mage, but not Daine). For the date format - you can write Day XXX, or the actual date in the books - whatever floats your boat. When1 to 17 March. WhereGoldenlake's Events forum. Posting FormatPlease follow the below posting format. The Very Secret Diary of [Character] (Rating)Title: Rating : Word Count: Summary (and any Warnings): (make sure to mention when the story is set) Notes: What you need to know1. Normal Goldenlake fanfiction rules on ratings and content apply. 2. There is a 500 word minimum, but no maximum word count. 3. All pieces must be new. 4.

Do they have to be written in the style of Cassie Claire's VSDs?

Do they have to be written in the style of Cassie Claire's VSDs? I have no idea what Cassie Claire's VSDs were like, but there are two examples above, and plenty of others ways you could make it work! As long as it follows the rules and is in diary format, it should be fine - though silliness and fun is the general aim Can't believe this challenge is here already, but very excited for it!!

Good luck Kris! I know who I *want* to write - whether I get the time or inspiration is another matter...

It is very annoying, but I am supposed to finish the essay today, so maybe I'll have some time to write for VSD tomorrow! Though I should probably actually go work on my essay now, instead of moping round the forums...

Dearest event mods;
How strict are we being with the diary format? Does it have to be set up specifically so the character is sitting down with the purpose of writing in their diary? How about a log/report/etc that kind of... turns into a diary when the character is overcome with frustrating emotions because of a certain red-haired weather witch? Is that acceptable for the challenge?

Dearest event mods; when the character is overcome with frustrating emotions because of a certain red-haired weather witch? *approves heartily* Will this be Tris/Cole or Sandry or Tris/Vedris...? Or Niko? (I know, that would be telling, right?)

Now I actually have to get this written, though, even if I'm not allowed to post it for the challenge, am I right?
