Monthly prompt for August

[tamingmods.livejournal.com]

Hello fellow muse tamers!

It's again time for the monthly challenge.

Again trying something different. Feel free to tell me your thoughts about doing the prompts this way. Also if you have any other ideas about handling the monthly prompts, feel free to share.

Anyway, the prompt is the following

Write a 1000+ word story. This should be a complete story, rather than a part of a larger piece, however, it can be original or fan fiction. This time around I want you to place your story in space. Otherwise you have free reign.


Entries will need to be received by midnight 31st August at GMT -12. We'll issue a closed post as we do with the weekly prompts.

When you post your entry, please tag it for the challenge.

You do not have to be a regularly contributing member of the community to participate. This challenge is optional and open to everyone.

You are allowed to use the monthly challenge in conjunction with any of the weekly prompts this month as long as you follow all the requirements for both. So, for this month, you would:
- Include the weekly prompt in your story
- It would be a stand-alone, a story of 1000 words or more placed in space
- It would be posted by the earlier of the two deadlines (midnight Saturday, or midnight on the 31st).

So, are we talking the whole, entire story taking place in space, or the majority? And outerspace, or is space up for vague artistic interpretation?

Major part is enough, although feel free to use it in the whole story.

We allow artistic freedom *g*

I'm such a pain - I apologize. But...have we yet seen awards for the August challenge? I've been searching the community and haven't come up with anything. Thanks!
