Katie’s 21st Birthday Challenge

Hello, everyone!!! It’s Katie here! (idk if I’ve ever shared my name on this account...sorry if I haven’t before)

I know I’m pretty new to the fanfiction side of this site (and I’m forever blown away by the love that you all have shown me :D ), but I had seen others pose the question on here and I thought I’d pose my own - Is anyone interested in writing a fic for me? 

See, my birthday is on May 29th and I’m turning 21!!! :D Since it’s a milestone I sort of decided to turn it into a writing challenge :)

Katie’s 21st Birthday Challenge

This is also my first ever time hosting a challenge! Now, I have no idea how many people will actually want to do this, but I’ve included a few different lists of prompts that you can choose from because I was having a difficult time deciding which ones I wanted to use and I wanted to give you all a lot to work with. You are more than welcome to mix and match the prompts as your little heart desires :) 

Because I have a lot of favorite characters, I narrowed things down by focusing on what ‘trash cans’ I’ve been gravitating to lately)

Focal Characters (for general fics or reader inserts):

Jim Kirk (AOS)

Leonard McCoy (AOS)

Scotty (AOS or TOS)

Steve Trevor (DC Comics) (WW is coming up and I’ve fallen hard into this one)

Entry options:

Option #1: Send me an ask for a character and at least 1 prompt (let me know if I should pick from a certain prompt list(s))

Option #2: You can send me an ask for a character if you already know which prompt(s) you want to use (let me know what prompt off of which list you’re picking)

Option #3: Send an ask for a prompt(s) if you already know what character you want to write for (let me know which character)

Option #4: If you have a prompt(s) and a character that you want to write, send me an ask giving me a heads up

Prompts are not first come, first serve, but I’d like for there to be some variety in the characters and prompts used so keep an eye on what’s being picked. If certain ones are being picked a lot, I’ll probably hand out one of the others if you ask for me to give you one. 

You also have free-reign over the content in your fic and it’s length :) I tend to read a little bit of everything so you can do character ships or reader inserts...

And finally, fics are due by June 5th(???) (I’m giving you all a little extra time for these) and make sure to include the tag #KatiesBirthdayChallenge within the first five tags of your fic. 

And tag me, of course ��:)

Wait! One more thing! Just have fun with it! ♥♥♥♥♥
