Off Topic [OT] Fifth Friday Frenzy - Pick a Challenge
Happy Friday! And Welcome to the first ever Fifth Friday Frenzy!
(Part of the Friday Fun Feature)
This isn't just any Friday post, this is a special post that will only appear on a fifth Friday of the month! It only happens... four times a year? I think?
Anyway, I had been over and over what to do on this special day. And I'm still not sure. So this is what we're going to do this time:
Pick a Challenge
On this, the fifth Friday of the month of May, we are going to have five challenges to pick from of different difficulties. You can pick one or more today (comment below) and you will have until the next Fifth Friday post to complete them.
The Challenges:
| # | Challenge | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Post at least five prompts | Easy |
| 2 | Post at least five non-[WP] prompts | Easy |
| 3 | Participate in at least five featured [OT] posts | Easy |
| 4 | Write at least five prompt responses (stories or poems) | Medium |
| 5 | Write at least five prompt responses but each one should continue from the one before it | Hard |
Challenges can't be combined. If you complete all 5 challenges, you'll end up with 25 things you did
The next Friday post is Friday, August, 30th, so plenty of time! Comment below with which challenges you are going to try and come back next post to let us know how you did.

I choose 5 but I need to it clear
So if I were to respond to a prompt that said "guy catches a cold" and I respond to that then I respond to a prompt that said "aliens take over the world and you have to stop them" I would continue off the cold story
ie: prompt 1, I couldn't come to school today because I had a school so I went to sleep
Prompt 2, I woke up in a sweat, what time was it, I looked at the clock, 11:56, it would be lunch time at school i thought blowing my nose.
Something like that right? The same story in two different prompts?

Yeah, pretty much, but no hard restrictions. You could always just do the next one a year later if it makes sense. Or whatever

I must be blind, I haven't seen this kind of post before! Perhaps I should start with the easier challenges first... but gosh dang number 5 sounds fun!
EDIT: Upon closer reading, I just realized I am NOT blind, this is literally the FIRST 5th Friday post, not the 5th Friday post!

Haha, I just realized you can read it that way! Maybe I should have labeled it "Fifth Friday" Frenzy? ;)

So it is #5 for me.
I have already picked my writing prompts from what I could find today, but I am nor sure that I can write it all up within this weekend. Can I use those prompts anyway and post the parts as prompt inspired? In one thread or in 5? Thank you!

The idea is to respond to prompts over the next couple of months, so that each prompt response in the series is connected to one before it. You don't have to do it all at once. You have until the next Fifth Friday post on August 30th.
