o_o What is THIS, you ask?
…I’m actually not really sure. It started with trying to figure out a way to rekindle the spark of rivalry between Loser and myself (because if you haven’t noticed, we’ve been getting lazy lately) and then this idea popped out of my head (it had to undergo a bit of tweaking and refinement of course, with my master’s help) and so… um… Senjou was born!
Basically, this is going to be the thread that serves as our battleground (hence the name; senjou means 'battleground/battlefield' according to the lovely animelab.com. Thanks, animelab.com!). And how it works is quite simple.
The two of us will be writing one-shot short stories/drabbles, but not at the same time. We will alternate, and the author that isn’t writing will get to decide what the other one has to write about (be it which H!P girls show up in the story, the pairing [if any], the situation they are in, if the fic is to be centered around a keyword, etc.). The stories will be a minimum of 1000 words long (with no maximum limit, of course) and once a challenge is issued by the other author, the one writing will have two days (48 hours, for those of you who want to get technical) to write and post their fic.
Failure to post in time will be punishable… by whatever the lovely Yuu-chan (although, she doesn’t know it yet. XD) decides.
This will be an interactive sort of battle, as you (the reviewers) get to decide the outcomes of every challenge. Along with your typical text-based comment (“OMG, THAT WAS SO AMAZING, I LOVED IT11!!!!11!!3”) you will get to rate the short fics on a scale of 1-5 (one being the worst, five being awesome). The only catch is, we require at least a minimum of eight reviewers for each one. (It’s not that hard. Especially since these aren’t going to be gigantic, y’know.) The points will be added to that author’s total score, and will be displayed here on this first post. (For bragging rights, and to see who is winning at any point in time.)
Also, once a month (we haven’t decided on a particular date yet, but we’ll get back to you on that), we’ll give you reviewers a chance to give us BOTH a challenge. Basically, you can come to us with whatever you want us to write, and we’ll do it. We get to pick whose challenge we’ll take, but the person whose idea we choose to attempt will get to decide which fic out of the two wins. (These will also be recorded on this post.)
So, expect some craziness to ensue. Of course, we WILL be working on our other fics (I’m going to win that update war, master, just you wait! –shakefist-), but this is something to keep us occupied and our rivalry strong… and to bring us out of this slump that we’re in. So be sure to help us out by reviewing (and reviewing fairly, please. This’ll be no fun if you give us all five’s or all one’s all the time. We’re bound to dish out some crap, so make sure to let us know. XDD)

Challenge List
Key: [Challenge #/Name of Challenge (Or basically, whatever crazy things we come up with to call them..)/Authored By (Loser 87, FeverInducedMadness, or Both)]: -description of challenge-
This also kind of serves as a Table of Contents, since once fics are posted I'll link them back to here for easy navigation.
[#0/FIRST CHALLENGE SPECIALLLL, WOO!/Both]: For the first challenge, you the reviewers will get to decide what it is that Loser and I will be writing. The loser of this will be the one to write the first 'official' fic. We just need something to get started with. Modesta's Risako x Miyabi challenge was picked. :3
Loser's Response: "C-ute or Berryz" (http://forum.jphip.com/index.php?topic=11124.msg362952#msg362952)
FIM's Response: "Come to the C-ute Side... We Have Cookies..." (http://forum.jphip.com/index.php?topic=11124.msg363347#msg363347)
[#1/FIM's Failure.../FeverInducedMadness]: Main Characters: Ishimura Maiha (she needs more lovin'), Genre: Humor, Rating: PG-13 >;P, Situation (Optional): lets see that creative brain work!, Pairing (Optional): I don't care really, match her up with someone if you want, Keyword (Optional): Supercalifagelistic Expealidocious >;P (I think I spelt it wrong >;X)
"The Sound of It Really WAS Atrocious..." (http://forum.jphip.com/index.php?topic=11124.msg364557#msg364557)
[#2/Crack!Pairing-ness/Loser87]: Main Characters: Mitsui Aika & Sugaya Risako, Genre: Fluff, Romance, Rating: G-PG-13, Situation (Optional): The only time I've actually even seen them together was backstage during the 10th Anniversary Winter Concert. So you can put them there or somewhere else, it doesn't really matter to me., Pairing (Optional): Aika/Risako, but I assume that was pretty obvious., Keyword (Optional): Disapproval (I can imagine that Aika's Momusu senpai and the rest of the Berryz would be kind of "wtf?" about such a relationship...)

Aha~
It's nice to know that everyone is liking our idea
But we sort of expected more ideas individually instead of some of you guys latching onto other ideas and promoting those instead
So We decided to create this, a survey sort of fill-out thingy!
So you all have your own ideas pitched out there with your prefered situation, pairings (if any) and so-forth
And to keep things organized of course!
Main Characters:
Genre:
Rating:
Situation (Optional):
Pairing (Optional):
Keyword (Optional):
Main Character(s) Who do you want the story to be about, a given =] You May choose ANY Girl or Girls in Hello!Project, You want
the story to Be about Koharu Kusumi, You write Koharu Kusumi! If you want the story to be about Yajima Maimi AND Suzuki Airi, Then
you write their names down, simple ne~?
Genre is obvious, You want the story to be Angst write Angst, You want it to be Romance write Romance, Tragedy write Tragedy, etc. etc.
Rating means like Movie Rating, Do you want it innocent and cute, then put G
If you want it to be heavily gored out with blood or have lots of swearing and...ya' know..have..mild naughty-naughty business rate it R
You get the idea? Yes? Good >=]
Situation is OPTIONAL you don't have to write anything if you don't want to but if you do write a situation then it can be what you want
to happen to the girls or base it around a certain event or time, for example, if you want the story to be based around the events of Maki's
trip to Korea you write the event down, if you want the story to have a certain plot you write down that plot as vague or as detailed as you want it. The situation HAS to have something to do with the Main Character(s).
Pairing is OPTIONAL, You don't have to write a pairing if you don't want any, the story can purely be centered on one character
But if you want a pairing, obviously you write what pairing you want, It can be a popular pairing like Reina/Eri or it can be as cracked
as Yoshizawa/Suzuki XDXD
Keyword is also OPTIONAL, You don't need to write one down but if you want to challenge us then write down a word and we will use it
in the story and/or base the story around that word XDXD
Of course this survey fill-out thingy ma-bob will be edited if we decide we wanna add or take away things
Considering this is sort of a draft thought up by me while talking to FIM and written out at around midnight
just because I wanted things a bit more organized and us wanting more individualled ideas and such XDXD
But for now this will do, Please use it!! >w<
Have fun and good luck! =D
:heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart:
~IMPORTANT NOTICE!!!~
Me and Fimmy-chan both got lazy so we decided that instead of every month
We're allowing you guys to pitch out your idea's every week!
Hooray for you guys!
Please use the organized thingy I made in page one to keep things organized
And since Yuu-chan isn't getting the chance to punish us and I Thought she's a little bored with not punishing anybody
I decided without Fimmy-chan knowing of course to change the rules a little bit
The loser of the challenge WILL be punished by Yuu-chan~
To bring out the best in us of course..>;P
So, Pitch out your idea's now!!
:heart: :heart: :heart:
