Fanfic Challenges

Details on this section coming soon....

It can be scary, doesn't have to be. Maybe just a few minutes or hours. One of my favorite stories I ever wrote, took a small nap, woke up from a dream and started typing. 4 hours later - there was 15 or 16 pages to turn into MaryAnne. There wasn't much editing either. Granted, not every story will be that same result. Unless you try, how can you know that same wonderful feeling? I challenge those who haven't written a solo story, to attempt too!

I have no time for fanfic anymore, at least not big, long ones, though I've got a few Dukes ones here and on fanfiction.net. However, I have one itneresting one for yo'all. Boss Hogg's obviously got a whole county pretty much under his thumb, like a number of such Southern bosses. He dabbles witht he big boys a lot (and needs the Dukes to get him *out* of such scrapes), but that's usually in crime. What if he was to try his hand in politics at a state level. Or even national - don'tcha wonder just what the U.S. Rep. from that district thinks? My hunch is, he probably represents a few counties, and just ignores Hazzard totally, thinking it's too dangerous politically; may…

Sorry, but this is separate from the political challenge (or is it? Might not have to be) so it gets a new post. Your challenge is to writ ea fanfic that explains the insurnace industry in Hazzard and how Boss Hogg keeps replacing all those patrol cars. Hmmm, now that I think about it, that *could* be a tie-in to the political one. Maybe in return for leaving Hazzard alone, Boss Hogg makes sure the state reps and members ofthe House of Representatives have sweetheart deals with reps from some other district where they make all those cars. they then support each other's legislationa ll the time, etc.. Boy, I'm starting to scare myself with how sneaky all that sounded; I th…

Yep, you read that right. The tables are being turned. First, though, thanks again to everyone who participated in the Bail Bond Bonus Challenge. We had great updates to Dukes of Hazzard Fanfic.com and everybody did a fine job on their stories. I, of course, appreciated the contributions on a personal level, in addition to enjoying the stories themselves. Sal-ute! And now, it’s time for some friendly revenge. I’m officially announcing the Appomattox Challenge, which puts MaryAnne’s authority on the line. Quite simply, if we don’t get in a few stories by April 09, then MaryAnne is to surrender all rank and title to me, unconditionally. Then, I’ll be able …

Hi. First of all, I'm a reader, now a writer, but I enjoy most of the stories I find here. Is there any Enos/Daisy/boys writer willing to take on the time period between them all leaving Hazzard and meeing at the reunion? I mean, about Daisy meeting LJ, how Luke got into firefighting, Bo into NASCAR, etc. I am into Daisy/Enos, so I'd like something that covers his reaction to her marriage, going to college, etc, but would take anything. I'm not a fan of 500 page, one liner stories, but would appreciate anyone's feedback. No flames, please, I really am an avid fan of DOH. Thanks, Marilyn

One more, then I'm off for a little while. Given Flash's breed, it's very probably the same one was aroudn all 7 seasons - but it'd make an interesting one for just after the series ends. What's the history of Rosco's dogs? Has his dog always been named Flash? (I think in my Hazzard Sparkplugs I have Waylon saying something like "It was either Flash VI or V by this time - noone could remember which.") Anyway, the plot idea is this: Flash (whatever number) finally dies of old age, and Rosco's heartbroken. But, after a few days, he feels like getting another Flash, same breed and everything. Only, there's some evil puppy mill operators that Boss just started working with, a…

Anyone interested in helping me wonder our way through Hazzard to the State Capitol and find out how our favorite mechanic and my big brother, went from the greasy, hairy mechanic to a cleaned up, shaved Congressman?? What made him even interested in running and since he's there, how has Hazzard benefited???

Rare disease awareness day was recently (I'm a little slow on the draw by about a month), but it got me to thinking, with another awareness day coming up for a disease, why not issue a challenge to raise awareness of rare diseases? I am currently writing a story with a friend to help raise awareness for Hereditary Angioedema which has such a long road to diagnosis for so many people, and the emergency rooms, many don't know how to treat it. Many a doctor has never heard of it, or they only hear the "AngioEdema" instead of the whole name, which they are two different monsters. Raising awareness to rare diseases will help people on the road to diagnosis, and remove some of …

I have an idear here. I'm going to try this tonight but I don't know when I'm gonna finish. I would like to see what others would come up with as well if they tried this. What about a song challenge? Write a story with created or orginal Dukes characters. Make it a story that follows or uses the words of one of the following songs. Sometimes short stories are best for this but long would probably work too. Here's some songs to pick from: Nickleback: Savin' Me Far Away Next Contestant Faith Hill: Sunshine and Summertime Fireflies Like we never loved at all Simon & Garfunkle: Sound of Silence Homeward Bound Willie Nelson: The Party's Over Blackjack County Chains Mr. R…

We've all seen tv shows with a character getting amnesia, being trapped (in an elevator, freezer, vault, etc), role reversals, twins, the trip out of town (Hollywood, Hawaii, etc), mistakenly thinking they're dying, etc. Well, I issue an ongoing challenge for folks to write a Dukes of Hazzard fan fiction story using a commonly used tv cliche. Of course, many Dukes episodes featured some of these same cliches, so you may also take one of these episodes and re-write them a new way, perhaps switching the characters around. Feel free to list your favorite cliches in this thread to spark some ideas for our writers!

I just came up with an interesting challenge idea write a story about someone having a illness , bug I don't want anyone to die but the choice is yours. their is no due date so whenever the stories are finished send them to Hnet.

Secret Santa Challenge Short Story – 1500 words or less Main character: Enos Other characters: Rosco and Mrs. Berry Spoiler: Enos's first Christmas working as a Hazzard County police officer. EMS: Holiday Heart Enos had read the new notes written in a case file several times since he had started his shift. The original investigation had occurred during the second week of him being on the Hazzard County police force. Last night, someone tried to rob a gas station on Blossom Road during the time Enos and Rosco were both on shift. When they got back to the station, the deputy had needed to get off duty or risk having the county commissioner call Enos into his office abo…

I challenge YOU to write a story about when Bo, Luke and Jeb got caught running moonshine. The show never went into details. I'd just like to see what others ideas of how the law got REALLY LUCKY. Dixie

Ok, Lets see how this works. Please respond with crit. How they got caught (spring 1977), The boys are at still site 3, with Cooter. When Jesse pulls up. “Bo, Luke you boys get ready for the run, and Cooter will go back to the garage.â€, Cooter leaves as the boys begin to box up the shine. “Hey Luke we gotta go to Marietta, then all way to mobileâ€, Bo explains. “yeah I know it’s a hard run, after were done, we’ll stay in mobile overnight and sleep, we got at least a good 7 hour driveâ€, Luke describes. The last jug is boxed, for the 30 gallon run. They walk back to the house. “You boys ready, I got a bag filled with …

I was just thinking today about writing a crossover having to do with The Dukes and the Bourne movies. I thought it might be interesting to try to do and I haven't seen anyone try it before.

Here's our theory on Bo and Luke's final run: Bo and Luke are tearing down the road in the General Lee on what was to be their last run. As usual, Rosco pulls in behind them. Luke: Right on schedule. Bo: Good ol' Rosco. Luke: Better go ahead and lose him Bo. He's too honest to let us go with this load. Bo: 10-4 cousin. The general speeds up and Rosco laughs and picks up the cb. Rosco: Okay rookie. Let's see how you hold up with the real pros. I've got a couple of runners heading south on highway 124. Show me what you can do. Rosco drops back and Bo and Luke are fairly confident that they've lost him. Bo: That was almost too easy. Luke: Bo look out! Another police car…

ok now, since we have the, moonshine run, and we know how they ended up on probation. How about this, how did the duke boys and daisy end up with jesse? This could end up like star wars. Two movies, about the beginning. Picture Darth Hogg: "Luke I am your Uncle.

So I noticed in the Sick Day Challenge thread that the following two issues were brought up... 1. I dropped the ball on issueing the Valentines Challenge (*sigh* so much for my tall dark and handsome man in the three piece suit and aviator sunglasses story...dang it...) 2. This challenge section of HNet denotes that only Admin/Mods can post challenges. Well, dip, what moron decided that? Oh. THIS moron decided that. Whups!! Okay, well, since I blew it on the Valentines Challenge, Alex reminded me about how we once did a Luck Challenge (back in '06 I think it was), where you write a story involving luck, either good or bad (or no luck at all LOL). SO! In another post, I'm…

Basically reserrecting the 2006 March Luck Challenge. LOL From now until the end of March, we're looking for stories about LUCK! Good luck, bad luck....or the complete lack of luck! From lady luck to potluck to hard luck, show us how luck has been treating somebody in Hazzard! We'd like to see some stories by March 17th, but we'll be taking submissions through the end of March. You can email your story to me at maryacltrn @ yahoo.com Good luck!

I have a question about rewriting the episode " Brotherly Love" Only in my version Luke will suffer dizzyness and Confusion. I was wondering how would you like it if in the Story Starter I have this idea of Luke getting into a Car Accident or one of them getting sick?, Or could it be really bad news like it could take place in Bo and Luke's Teenage years.

Family Jesse -54 Luke-13 Vance-13 Daisy-11 Coy-9 Beauregard (Bo)-8 -------------------------------------------------------------------- The story Of the Dukes -------------------------------------------------------------------- 1) Bo layed in bed crying he was having trouble breathing. It felt like someone was sitting on his chest. He sat up and started crying and coughing. He didn’t want to wake his cousins. He fumbled to get his puffer knocking it on the ground. He sat up in bed. He knew he was having an asthma attack. He needed help. He picked up his stuffed frog and threw it at Coy. “Hey what-†Coy said getting mad but realizing Bo was having trouble breathing he…

Just a reminder folks, the fanfic challenges for this go around are due February 1st, 2004. That's about four weeks. Better git crackin'! =)

I posted this on the Dukes of Hazzard Forum on FF.net known as "The Boar's Nest" and thought I'd post it here too. The challenge is to write a cross-over with our favorite family with any fandom of your choice. Understandably some parts of canon may have to be ignored for this to work but PLEASE keep them all in character. After all, what fun would it be to read a fic that was a Dukes fic in name only? If you take on the challege let folks know where they can read your story. Either here, FF, or some other site. This could be fun.

The first round of challenge stories have been posted. Check it out! http://www.dukesofhazzardfanfic.com/Stories/ChallengeFics/index.htm
