THE CHALLENGE:
Originally launched in 2004, the "Multiverse Challenge" is a year long fan fiction challenge which call for participants to use thier most wild imagination to write a different, original kind of story.
What is a 'Multiverse story'? A Multiverse story is a story that will take the familiar characters and setting of the 'Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons' series, and put them in new, unfamiliar times, places and situations. It's a story where something had changed from the Captain Scarlet universe that we know - where things, subtly or not, are... different from our usual perspective.
What if Captain Scarlet had never escaped the Mysterons? What if one of the others had been Mysteronised instead? What if Captain Black had not fired on the Mysterons' Complex? What could happen if the characters from the Scarlet universe were to encounter characters from another fandom - not necessary a Gerry Anderson related one? And what if our favorite heroes should evolve in another era, far in the past, or in a close future?
There are many names to define those kind of stories. Parallel Universes. Other Dimensions. Uchronies. Crossovers. 'What if?' Elseworldsã. The name 'Multiverse' was chosen because it includes all the preceding terms.
If you want examples of what defines a 'Multiverse story', follow this link, or for crossover stories, go to this link.
Whether you use the characters from our familiar Captain Scarlet universe and propel them into a strange new one in which they found themselves lost or show us characters perfectly at ease with their surrounding world is up to you.
Can you rise to the challenge?
TO PARTICIPATE:
Rules and conditions:
As always, the same general rules as any fan fiction challenge project apply, that is:
Even though the story might take the characters into unfamiliar surroundings, it should still keep true and faithful to the Captain Scarlet mythos, either from the original Supermationation series or the CGI series.
The story could be as short as one page, or as long as you wish.
You can write your story alone, or team up with another writer.
Slash stories will not be accepted.
Comedy fic and Horror-fic handled with taste are okay. The 'Multiverse' theme leaves you a large scope within which you are allowed to play, so be free to have as much fun as you want. That means, for example, that you can kill canon characters, turn them bad, or do all sorts of evil to them, without risks of reprisals!
Accepted will be one-shot stories, or two or three-parts maximum. If more than one part, note that, to avoid an unfinished story, all the parts should be completed before posting. Contact the webmaster for more information.
Check our Submission Guidelines before submitting your story. Take note that the use of beta-reader is not required, but recommended. Contact the webmaster for information.
The story will be accessible to the public once it had been read by the webmaster and/or beta-reader (if any) and accepted into the Challenge.
There is no limit of time to submit a story, as it is a long-year event. Nor there is limit in the number of stories you wish to submit, if ever you feel inspired!
Remember that all the information presented on the Spectrum Headquarters site can serve as tool to help you write your story, whenever you need useful details for it. If there is a question the site does not answer, feel free to write me.
As always, submitted projects will be presented on this page - so people will know what they can be expect soon.
I hope a lot of you will feel inspired enough to participate in this new, different challenge, and present a story that I'm sure we will all enjoy.
People interested to contribute, or just to tell me what they think of this project, can communicate with me at this site regular e-mail scarlet1bishop@hotmail.com.
Since there is NO limit of time to this challenge, you have all the time you need to write and submit any Captain Scarlet related story that you feel would be perfect for this special challenge. Just contact me and tell me about your project.
