Myth Maker's Story Challenge #2

Hey there, fellow storytellers! Welcome to Myth Maker's Story Challenges! Every week, we will choose certain members of the Story Squad to star in your story as "The Cast" and explore different ways to workshop easy storytelling techniques. This week, we'll be focusing on Character Relationships!

The Cast

The Challenge:

Fill out the Relationship Madlibs below and make a mini-story for these characters.

Advanced Mode Settings: Character 1 and Character 3 are rivals.

Relationship Madlibs

Character 1 is a _________ to Character 3.

Character 3 really likes it when Character 1 _________.

When Character 2 appears, Character 1 acts like _________.

When Character 2 and Character 3 hang out, ________ always happens.

Character 1, Character 2, and Character 3 are taking a walk together, and Character 1 _________.

This causes Character 3 to _______ and this makes Character 1 ________.

Character 2 is _________ and they decide to __________.

This makes Character 1 __________.

In the end, Character 1 and Character 2 decide to ______ while Character 3 _________.

Pro Tip: Don't get too hung up on the details and shoot from the gut. This exercise should be completed in about 30 minutes or less, so any longer is defeating the purpose. Have fun and keep those creative wheels loose.

Feel free to share your work in The Storytelling Squad group, free for all to join! You can also make a free account to keep up with the latest Story Challenges and other updates on Storyteller Planet! I hope to create an open community of storytellers that can collaborate on ideas. I look forward to seeing you in whatever form I appear. Until next time!
