How Does the Two Word Challenge Work?

Each week the Challenger issues a pair of words to the group. Each person who wants to participate in the challenge will post their response to the group - either as a poem, short story, essay, article or artwork.

The goal is to use the two word pair(s) in your work, giving your own interpretation of the words creatively. It can be a literal interpretation - "the cellar door was large and made of rough wood" or it can be figurative he was a cellar door, protecting them from the storm that was their life." You can even modify the words slightly if needed - the name "Celardor" or "the cellar's door."

Just make sure you have the two word pair you are using in either your title or as a tag so the entry will be accepted into the group. The purpose for this rule is to keep group content on topic. We receive a lot of submissions each week and need to be able to quickly determine which are on topic for the group. If your entry is declined but you have responded to an official Two Word Challenge, simply correct your entry so that the two words appear in your title or tags and resubmit to the group.

Challengers may add additional features to their challenge that make it unique, but as long as you complete the basic Two Word Challenge portion, your entry will be accepted in the group. There are no time limits on the challenges so you can respond to any of them at any time. We will try to have a new one issued weekly.

All Two Word Challenges need to be kept PG to permit everyone to participate. Interpretations of the Two Words not PG are fine, as long as you flag your article appropriately. If anyone feels a group submission is inappropriate, feel free to contact the group owner or moderator (see below).

If you have a suggestion for a future Two Word Challenge, send a private message to Monica Kennedy  Group Owner (daydreambeliever) and CC Kathryn Esplin-Oleski Group Moderator (kathryneo) with the details of your idea(s). Enjoy the challenge!
