A Writing Challenge...your imaginary friend?

July 13, 2011 - 11:47pm — quadraptor

I had an idea for writing inspiration, and wanted to see if anyone else was interested in joining me in giving this a try.

Did you have an imaginary friend (or do you have an imaginary friend now)? Does your friend have a story? I think it would be really fun to write a story about your imaginary friend!

Yes, even if your imaginary friend really is your TEF deer, you can still participate!

You can also write about yourself interacting with your imaginary friend if they don't really have a story. Or any other kind of thing you did that was imaginary (look at CalmlyBree's story for an example)

My imaginary friend was named Cat Chris, and was an anthropomorphic feline character who had impressive speed and reflexes. He fought against an evil character named Slimeco, who inspired the earliest stages of Iugulare's infection. So you'll see infected creatures pop up in the story, but from a different villain than Iugulare.

Anyway, is anyone interested?

Here's the stories written so far:

On the other shore - Cat Chris by QuadRaptor
Starfire by Zyzzy
Imaginary Friend... by CalmlyBree
Ashen by Shaila
Hobbick, Gobbick, and Nordick by IoRez
The Invisible Army by Ryff

See I never used to have an imaginary friend like I thought I saw it and all? but I used to think of animals being there as my imaginary friends when I was very little LOL Like I would dream about them? and hope they were real so they'd be my mind, this probably makes no sense. I'll give my babbling story too! <3

I don't know if this is the

I don't know if this is the same type of thing, but I have a 'friend' i've dreamt about ffor many years and she's sort of become my online persona. I wrote some stories about her, and I"d be more than happy to show you, Quad. In fact, I think you'd like it because it involves a samursai

CalmlyBree, I understand that

CalmlyBree, I understand that this kind of thing can have a broad variety, so yeah anything you really imagined when you were younger is more than welcome for this challenge. I thought this would be a great way to encourage more writing as well as to write about something that may give you happy memories or nostalgia. In my case, I can remember quite a bit about Cat Chris and his enemy, Slimeco. In fact, I often said that Cat Chris' speed rivaled that of Sonic the Hedgehog.

Anyway, I saw you posted something so I'll read it soon. Thanks for participating

Kaoori, I'd love to see what you have written too! And you know me, I'm really intrigued by samurai (and ninja too) lately

I have no real narrative

I have no real narrative "story" to share, but I did have imaginary friends. Three of them, in fact. Their names were Hobbick, Gobbick and Nordick. They slept in my chest-of-drawers.
