BISHOVA HOLLIDAY CHALLENGE 2024 PROMPT VOTING and Challenge Rules

Background

On November 24 it will be three years since Marvel brought the Hawkeye series to the little screen. 6 episodes and 5 weeks of getting to know Kate Bishop with a hint of Yelena Belova. Despite having less than 45 minutes of screen time their chemistry was explosive. Since then, amazing fanfiction writers around the world have created amazing stories about these two. So, with the anniversary of the show coming up, I decided to bring back the Bishova Holiday Challenge.

Last year when I created the challenge, all the prompts came from my scary but wonderful imaginative brain. This year I decided to reach out to Oh Alpha, My Alpha discord.  Which I will have linked below. There my wonderful virtual friends I have made gave me wonderful prompt ideas. 20 -25 to be honest. I do not feel like counting. So now it is time for us to vote.

Below you will find a link to prompt ideas. Voting will close Aug 31st. You can vote as many times as you want. The top 5 prompt ideas will be chosen for the challenge and announced early September. The remaining prompts that did not win will be reposted just as prompt ideas for the public mid sept.

After the Prompts are Chose:

Once the winning prompts are chosen in Oct, I will post an update of the challenge rules with the prompts for each week. This year the challenge will be 6 weeks with the last week being the writers’ choice.

Challenge Rules:

These prompts will have mini ideas attached to them but you do not have to follow them to a tea, just stick to the general theme. The stories must be posted on A03.

You can prewrite your stories and co-write them with others. But they cannot be published before the challenge. It is encouraged that you participate in all 6 weeks but if you can it’s all good.

Challenge Weeks:

Week 1: Nov 10th – Nov 16th

Week 2: Nov 17th – Nov 23rd

Week 3: Nov 24th – Nov 30th  

Week 4: Dec 1st – Dec 7th

Week 5: Dec 8th – Dec 14th

Week 6: 16th – Dec 21st

There will be 6 weekly winners and one Grand winner. After each week I will create a poll with the stories that qualified, and readers can pick the winner. To qualify as the Grand Winner, you must write a story for all 6 weeks.

Artist Announcement

I would like to announce the artist for the Bishova Holiday Challenge! For those who don’t know writers who submitted work for each week of the challenge will have a chance to be entered into a poll for best story. The winning story will have a scene created by a talented artist who does some pretty awesome work. Please give a virtual round of applause for Myranda. Above I have put some pictures of her work and I also included the link for her Instagram account. I have talked with her for a bit and I’m excited to see what she does with the winning story. Also she does some pretty cool plushies and has an Etsy shop so check her out.
