Every character has a story to tell.

Strands of Fate gives you a chance to tell these stories through an extended series of short glimpses into their lives, weaving together a tapestry that illustrates your character in a wide variety of different scenarios. This will help us, as fellow writers, to see your character in a different light and attain a new perspective, but will also help you to breathe new life into your character. With so many changes coming through the Brotherhood, this is a perfect time to show us how all these changes affect you. Using the given prompt, compose a short fiction entry that portrays the aspect of your character as stipulated.

Each competition will have a two-week timeframe and a word count maximum of 750 words. All Strands of Fate competitions will be graded using the Arcona fiction rubric.

It is recommended that you subscribe to and complete these prompts ahead of time - not only will this mean you have plenty of time to write them, but by completing them ahead of time that you have a more rounded and better idea for your character for other Brotherhood fiction events before the completion date of these events.

Lost Without You

In everybody's life, there is someone that we owe everything to. Whether we treasure the words and teachings of a mentor, the caress and devotion of a lover, the patience and adoration of a parent, even the solidarity and strength of a battle-brother, there is someone that all people cannot truly go without. Who is that person for you and what mark have they irrevocably left upon your life?
