Well, djv has put the next rewrite challenge up, but hasn't put a Discussion Zone up for it... i'm taking care of that

i'm thinking i might try to put something together this time.

however, the idea that i have is a little peculiar, i want to COMBINE the two together, they seem to follow each other as a set of related myths. as in they have some character names in common and some other elements in common.

i was wondering if it was okay to do this, after all the challenge is to rewrite one or the other, not rewrite them both and combine them.

i am also thinking of doing something a little different. i'm in the mood for a little epic poetry. so, hope there's some taste for it here among hatrackers

Not only is it OK, it's right on. These two stories are actually segments of a much larger mythological cycle. You can view the whole thing on the websites listed on the challenge.

I picked these two because I thought they possessed the most pliable elements for a writer to work with.

And, dpatridge, thanks for taking care of me.

wow... seems that these rewrite challenges have completely fallen out of favor...

i'm still intending on participating, even though, to be perfectly honest, i haven't actually started yet.

the challenge, for the new members, is posted over in Writing Class.
