Avadrea's Oddities Challenge 11 Years, 11 Months ago Karma: 27
Avadrea's Oddities Challenge
I started this challenge on a writers group and thought I give you dokugans a chance to take part in it as well. This challenge will consist of a series of rare, odd, or just plain obscure words to help inspire new stories and ideas.

Prompts will be posted every Tuesday.

Rules:
1. These prompts can be used in one shots or chapters of an ongoing series.
2. These prompts can be used either for stories or drawings.
3. There is no word count limit other than that required by Dokuga.
4. Please reply to this post with a link to your story or drawing.
5. All entries must follow all Dokuga rules.
6. There is no deadline for prompts. You can use them at any time no matter how long ago they where posted. It is my hope browsing the list will help inspire new ideas and endeavors.
7. The work must be inspired by the word but the word dose not have to appear in the work (I encourage people to try for the fun of it though).
8. The work must be made for the challenge. In the case of an ongoing series that means that the new chapter must be made for the challenge, it dose not mean that the whole piece has to be for the challenge.
9. Stories can be of any rating, but please warn in your post if they are M or MA.

Prompt List:
1. petrichor (PET-ri-kuhr) - The pleasant smell that accompanies the first rain after a dry spell.
2. Argent - silver or (especially in heraldry) silver-white
3. Whet - sharpen can be used literally of figuratively. Commonly used term "to whet one's appetite")
4. Paroemia - A proverb or an adage.
5. Tarn - a small mountain lake or pool.
6. Trammel - 1. A net for catching birds or fish, 2. Something that restricts activity, expression, or progress; a restraint. (ect)
7. Foudroyant - Rare stunning, dazzling, or overwhelming
8. Ebullience - 1.high spirits; exhilaration; exuberance. 2.a boiling over; overflow.
9. Unrecked - unconsidered, abandoned without thought
10. Garth - an enclosed garden or yard
11. Curlglaff - The shock felt in bathing when one first plunges into the cold water.
12. Dysania - The state of finding it hard to get out of bed in the morning.
13. Feat - A dangling piece of curly hair. (please use this meaning of the word, not feat as noteworthy deed)
14. Nubivagant - Passing through or moving through the clouds.
15. Velleity - a wish or inclination which is not strong enough to lead one to take action.
16. Ylem - (in big bang theory) The primordial matter of the universe.
17. Famulus - an assistant or attendant, especially one working for a magician or scholar.
18. Odaxelagnia - sexual arousal from biting or being bitten (Extra challenge, write a T rated story for this prompt.)
19. Flocculent - 1. like a clump or tuft of wool. 2.covered with a soft, woolly substance.
20. Mumpsimus - 1. a traditional custom or notion adhered to although shown to be unreasonable. 2. a person who obstinately adheres to unreasonable customs or notions.

Any interpretation of the word is fine? or does have to be clearly written in the story?

As long as the interpretation is clear then the word does not have to appear in the story.

*modifies rules* Thanks for the question

Re:Avadrea's Oddities Challenge 11 Years, 11 Months ago Karma: 37
I have a question. Can I add this to my on-going prompt fic? It's called 'Spectrum' so the first chapter would be chapter 7?

Thanks.

Yes.

Rule 8 only means that the new chapter (chapter 7) needs to be made with the prompt in mind, not the entire work or series. You are also NOT required to continue to use the prompts afterwards and are welcome to come back and use the prompt list for inspiration at any future time and earn the badges. It only means that you can't claim a badge for a story that was posted before the prompt was issued. For instance you could not claim the prompt for chapter 3 of 'Spectrum' since it was posted before the prompt.

Remember, prompts do NOT have a deadline, so say you get to chapter 14 of Spectrum and are in need of inspiration, you are welcome to look over the (hopefully) growing prompt list and use one to base the chapter off of and earn the badge for the prompt no matter how long ago it was posted.

I hope that helps

And this one: www.dokuga.com/fanfiction/story/8010/4

I hope you like this. While the chapters themselves are pretty tame, the first chapter of the drabble series is still rated MA, so watch out you YIMs.

This is for Tarn, which has not been posted yet.

This drabble series is rated MA. But this drabblet is tame.
