Inspiration lagging behind? Take on a dare to rack up some words.
I recall last year we had a Melbourne Cup dare, so thought I'd bring that one back, considering it's today.
And for those of us with no interest in horse racing, I'm borrowing these from the official dare thread....
Rain is deadly.
Bonus Points: It's not acid.
Double Bonus Points: It is referred to as "Eraser Rain"
(and my favourite, but not something I think I can use, so I hope somone does)....
Make one character Rickroll another.
BP if youtube hasn't been invented yet.
DBP if the computer hasn't been invented yet.
TBP if Rick Astley has yet to be born.
Add some more!
Have fun.

I posted this one in the first of the official threads:
Include a goldfish in a bowl.
----------BP if the goldfish talks.
DBP if the goldfish has a German accent.
TBP if the goldfish has a German accent because its brainwaves were swapped with those belonging to an East German ski-jumper.
QBP if you know what this dare was inspired by.

Yep, American Dad. Too easy. I'm not convinced I can work that into my story though considering neither Germany, nor ski-jumping exists in my novel world. Not sure about Goldfish though.

Ha. I had a major horse racing event in last years, which created a slight problem because they live on a very dusty, windy planet with underground cities and a small number of carefully-constructed surface buildings so THEY ARE NOT GOING TO BE PUTTING THAT SPACE ASIDE FOR A HORSE RACE TRACK or horses for that matter, which confusles me muchly*.
Bah.
So, NO DARES this year**
*I shall forget that there was a horse race in the events I borrowed from, which is really why I included it
** Except for giant cephalopods of course, but that's not a dare so much as an expectation
----------Years done: 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009
Years won: 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009
Years didn't think it a good idea in October : 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009

Suer why not. So long as he is repeatedly described as having alabaster skin. Not white, not pale. Alabaster.

Vampires are in your NaNo
Bonus Points: they're not sparkly discoballs
Double Bonus Points: there are subtle snarks to the aforementioned sparkly discoballs
Extra points to anyone doing this dare that makes one of their characters shout: 'Oh my God! (or your world's equivalent) Vampires exist! But they aren't sparkly?'
Plus two more bonus points awarded to anyone that alludes to your vampire's non-vegetarian-ness, awarded personally by me, over the internet.

I saw your double point vampire dare and snarked on it.
It was Trevor's turn to be irritated "My ass does not sparkle."
"The world didn't end with a whimper. It ended in a sea of screams, blood and torn flesh. It would have been delicious if it wasn't so sickening."
