I nano dog dare you...

I dare you all to include the word "whichamacallit" in your novel! Not tough enough, make it be said by someone under 20 years old.

At least 2000 words describing someone brushing their teeth.
DP for describing one person brushing ANOTHER person's teeth.
TP if they are both in strange costumes.

Use the words Crunchy Organic Peanut Butter in your next chapter. Three times.
DP if the peanut butter causes someone to become very ill.
TP if the peanut butter proves to be a miraculous cure for a life long illness.

I Nano Dog dare you to write a about a rain coat as a main character. A rain coat that is afraid of water.

You characters attend an ice hockey game. Can be any level as long as it is organized; ie no pick up games. Pros, Minor leagues, College or Juniors is fine.

Double Points if the setting is not in a "traditional" hockey air; Canada, the US, Scandinavia or Russia.
Triple Points if the hockey game is taking place in a desert

psssssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhht, that's cheesy easy. The Crunchy Organic Peanut butter one. Done. I accept that challenge.

Heck, I accept both. Does brushing a dog's teeth count as another person?

Ha! I hadn't thought of brushing a dog' teeth but sure, why not?
In fact, maybe I'll put that in mine somewhere, I have a dog character.

I nano dog dare you all to include a michael jackson look alike.

Double points if he does the michael jackson dance.

Triple Points if he sings a song and does the dance at the same time.

Accepted. I'll get the Triple Points.

Where can I redeem my points?

"Oh my god. You've got to be kidding me." Claudia said as she and Sean entered the Thirsty Gulch.

Michael Jackson's Thriller could be heard all the way from the parking lot, above the sounds of the falling rain and thunder. Inside the semi-dark restaurant, a woman could be seen on the makeshift stage doing a poor Michael Jackson impersonation, complete with moonwalk and Thriller dance.

Stopping short at the sight of the woman, Claudia caused Sean to bump into her from behind, nearly knocking her over.

"Oh damn. That's sad." Sean said, grabbing Claudia around the waist so she that didn't fall while simultaneously watching the female on stage. After he was sure she was not going to fall, he reluctantly released his grip on her slender waist, but not before Claudia's hand had found its way to cover his.

Thriller dance? Fantastic!

Have your novel regularly interrupted by commercials.
+ if the commercials are starring the characters
++ if they find this completely normal
+++ if they involve 'awkward' products like feminine products, male enhancement pills, hemroid creams, and the like.

Use the words, "Break A Leg," in your novel.

'Double points if they get injured.

Triple points if the person is permanitely scared.

Have a main character deal drugs.

Double Points if they're arrested.

Triple Points if they get sent to jail.

I nano dog dare you to...

Include a rabid duck somewhere in your novel. Can ducks even get rabies? hmmm, I dunno.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabies

Apparently any mammel can get rabies. The question is can they transmit rabies

I sort of like the random commercial idea....I may take that one! I'll let you know.

Here's another (I'm using this myself):
Have a character deeply into Extreme Ironing.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extreme_ironing

Accepted.

HAHAHAHAHA too funny. hahahaha how does one know the duck is rabid, I wonder? hmmmm

~sarah~

Challenges Accepted - phhhhhfffffffffffft too many to count.
Challenges Completed - 8

I'll take you all up on your dares at some point. Really I will. You guys are on, but I would like some sort of reward...a sticker would be nice, or a button.

Except I'm not doing the teeth brushing one. I could do 200 words but not 2000.

I accept the "whatchamacalit", the teeth brushing AND the Organic crunchy peanut butter.

What I wanna know is - how many points I get if I can combine two of them????

And I'm with Psyrun.... I want a sticker.... although I'll take cookies....

I'm up to 1820 words on the teeth brushing. I am having difficulty eking out an extra 180, I'll figure it out though. Maybe she'll brush her own teeth too.

Um, dude, ducks aren't mammals, they are birds. Mammals have hair, give live birth and produce milk. Ever milked a duck?

Ladyhawke

Since Ladyhawke brought it up, I dare anyone to include one of their character trying to milk a duck.
Double points if it's an adult character
Triple points if they are somehow successful

done! Crunch Organic Peanut Butter is in there! yes, 3 times!!!

My first ever Nano-dare!

Ladyhawke

I did the organic crunchy peanut butter first two levels, and the first level of the hockey game.

Woo for crunchy organic peanut butter!

My characters are going to be in a commercial.
Milking a duck, however, is beyond the limits of my imagination. >__<

I recently joined the site and am a total amateur writer, but I'm getting started on my first work and I am getting tons of ideas from these dares...I'm planning on going with all levels of the commercial idea as well as the water-fearing raincoat character. Does it count if the raincoat was once a human that was afraid of water and was ironically transformed into a raincoat? I'm thinking hard on some of my own dares for you all!

Wow you guys rock on the dares LOL

Hi RJ, welcome to Flint!!! hopefully we will get a chance to meet you at a write in or our TGIO party. My name is Cyli and i am one of two ML's for Flint Region. Just wanted to take a minute to welcome you and say if you have any questions, post them here, nanomail me, or email me at cylithria (at) gmail(dot) com

Ps , I am soooooo taking the milking the duck dare, oh yes, I am

If anyone can milk a duck, Eensy, it's you! :-D

And welcome to the Red Hots, RJ! :-)

Dare: give one of your characters a tattoo addiction. Anytime something happens, the character *just absolutely has to go* and get a tattoo to commemorate/remember/etc whatever
+ if you go into great detail about the tattoo or tattooing experience
++ if the tattoos have absolutely nothing to do with the related event (i.e., dog dies; chara gets tattoo of a belly dancer)
+++ if the at the end it turns out the tattoos are just sharpied on and the chara was really just a big wimp.

I am so wanting to take the tattoo dare. Especially the level 2. Now, level 3.......???

Hey eensy, milk that duck yet???

Ladyhawke

At the write-in, WingedCheetah dared me to get a goat into my story, so here it is:

The trio walked in silence until for a couple of minutes, passing a couple battered steel warehouses on the way. It was a quiet walk, with most of the dock workers and laborers already at home with their families. Naryn did see Harold walking down the path at them, a worried look on his face.
“We're ready to go boss,” Harold said as he approached the trio.
“So what's the problem, Gunny?” Naryn asked, completely aware that the cook could just be pessimistic like always. But the two M-1 carbines that he hand slung over his shoulders would dictate other wise.
“No one knows where Sheyrena is,” Harold said with a sigh.
“I swear we need to get a leash for that woman,” Scarlett said with a role of her eyes.
“Wouldn't do you any good,” Harold said with a cough. Rubbed his throat with a bit and Naryn wagered a guess that his former gunnery sergeant was coming down with something. “I have yet to see any form of lock that has been able to stop that woman.”
“I don't think she's human,” Scarlett said with a smirk.
“Well, she is from Pittsburgh,” Harold said with a sympathetic shrug.
Naryn was going to interject that they should probably quit wasting time and good looking for Sheyrena before Atkins arrived, but his train of thought was killed by a wandering goat. A loan goat walked right in the middle of their conversation, looked at Harold and bah'd.
“Who wants mutton for dinner?” Harold said with an evil smirk at the goat. Either the tone of Harold's threat scared the goat off of the goat grew bored of the four humans and wandered off behind a warehouse and out of sight.
Naryn shook his head as if trying to get the previous encounter out of his head. Where the hell had the goat came from and why did it bah at the ship's cook?
“Not to get back at the matter at hand or anything,” Naryn said, the sarcasm rolling of his tongue, “Don't you think we should go look for Shey before it's too late?”

Yeah, that sounds like a pretty good twist. I dare you that!
