Challenge #570
May. 7th, 2026 07:50 amOne of the benefits of being a fanfiction writer is that we can assume that the reader is familiar with the subject: at the very least, they know what the characters and the recurring locations look like. That said, it can also make us lazy writers, because we don't have to describe things or learn how to work those descriptions into the story.
For today's challenge, describe a familiar character or location in a show or movie you know well, but do so knowing that your reader has never seen them before. You do not need to make it entertaining or good prose (you can make it clinical, like "She stood at 5 feet 11 inches, with long red hair, pale skin, and small eyes"), but bonus points if you can work it into a scene.
