Challenge Dates: submission date August 27th; publication August 28th
Open to: Fan Fiction, Fan Art, Graphics, Fan Videos
THE PROMPT:
With 16 hour-long episodes per year, there’s only so much time to devote to our favorite characters on an ensemble show. Thus the showrunners have admitted that we miss a lot of the moments in our characters’ lives. So much of what makes our heroes “Team Family” happens offscreen… dammit. Well, this is where you get to fix that by focusing on the missing moments we know have happened, but never got to see unfold on our screens. Did Lori see what was developing between Carol and Daryl? How much did Daryl resist being voted onto the council? Who taught Carol to be so handy with a gun? These and many other questions can be answered by you.
You can pick any scene that is “missing” from the series, but remember, this is a Caryl archive, so your story has to prominently feature both Daryl and Carol.
