The majority in last week's poll indicated they'd like to see an encore of a previous topic for this week. So, here it is, the one that took the highest vote!
This week, we're going to be writing an AU! AU, or "alternate universe", is where you take a work of fiction and change an element of it, and then write about the characters with that element changed, considering how things might be different for them. For example, Coronation Street but everyone has wings. Finding Nemo, but if it was Nemo's mum rather than his dad looking for him. Doctor Who, but the characters are all working in a coffee shop.
The AU premise for this challenge is as follows, submitted anonymously through the weekly poll linked at the bottom:
Everyone has a number above their head that only others can see. It denotes something interesting, like the number of people they’ve killed or the number of times they’ve lied to someone. The main character’s number is unusually high.
In your target language, of course, write a short scene from that AU.
Whether you're just starting out and giving it a go with "My number is very big, because I am very old." or you've been learning a while and want to present an angsty scene where the Sixth Doctor finds out the identity of the Valeyard, and realizes that the extraordinarily high number above his head is how many companions he will have lost in the future - give it a go writing as much as you can!
I do a creative fiction themed writing prompt post at about this time every week. Join this chat if you'd like to be notified with a link when the weekly post goes up.
