[#286 | Working Together] Challenge Post
Jan. 7th, 2026 10:40 pm| Challenge 286: WORKING TOGETHER |
Some things can’t be done alone. Maybe it’s a project that needs multiple pairs of hands to make it work, maybe it’s a long-term quest to save the world that’s going to require a lot of people and a lot of skillsets, or maybe it’s as simple as a cat that needs at least two people to corral her into a carrier to go to the vet; whatever it is, it’s going to need some people to work together. How are your characters at working together? Does it come naturally to them, or do they struggle? What are they working together for? Write a story about working together. If your submission features this line, it will earn an extra point to be tallied in voting! |
| Challenge ends Monday, January 12 at 9:00PM EST. • Post submissions as new entries using the template in the profile • Tag this week's entries as: [#] submission, 286 – working together • If you have questions about this challenge, please ask them here |
