Vignettes are judged within two weeks of the close date, though the Cell special is taking a bit longer due to a change in staff. Thank you for your patience!

What about writing a scene were your character is out of their mind bored and how they deal with it?
Question about this month's vignette... does "just met" mean it must be an origins story regarding the enemy, or can it be an interpretation of any encounter with them? I ask because Cronen has two clear "worst enemies" and he met them both in quests, so I'd basically be re-writing a scene. Which I don't mind doing, but I'll do a different encounter if that's permitted :P
Either one would do. In your case, you would probably want to do another encounter with them. But others may want to do an origins story.

(New ideas I'm throwing around. *Hurdles the following towards Hoytti* "CATCH!")
- Your character meets their alternative selves. They have all the same traits and powers as them, but they have the opposite personalities of the real one. (Meaning that if your character is good, the alternate one is evil.)
- Zoom forward in time to you character exactly thirty years later. How have they changed? Are they the same? How did they grow, mentally and physically. Or are they just dead by then?
- Your character meets their author (YOU!) what do they do? Thank you? Try to kill you?
- Practice battle!! Your character goes to the citadel to have a training experience: there are fifty foes in the arena, how does your character deal with them? The setting can be anything you like.
- Write a song/ poem about your main character. It can be about their personality, what they've been through, what they may become... As long as your character is the focus of the lyrical passage.

(Haven't seen the previous ones so not sure if these are repeats)
- Your character is being interviewed for a newspaper article. What would your character like to say for their best points? Does he/she/it have plans for the future?
- What is your character's biggest dream? What is his/her/its deepest desire?
- What is your character's greatest fear? Is it his/her/its worst enemy or something else? Becoming powerless? Dying?
- Your character is teleported to Earth for a day. What happens? How does your character react?
- Your character loses all abilities for a day.
- Your character meets the inspiration(s) that created him/her/it. (I know that most of my characters are based on another character or a mix of a few different ones)
- The town your character was going to visit was destroyed. Your character needs to find food, water, and any other necessary supplies.
- Your character has been teleported into some mad wizard's maze. How does your character get out?
- Magic Genie comes out of a lamp and grants a wish (or three). What would your character ask for?
- Your character finds an abandoned child who seems to be almost dead. What happens? Does your character just leave it, adopt it, tries to find a home, has some fun torturing it, or something else?
