...Wow I just unintentionally wrote something that fit this challenge before even reading the challenge. This morning, no less. o_O

For a given value of crazy, anyway; he's certainly going to come away from this with a metric ton of issues. BUT ANYWAY I can't actually post it soooooo let me see if I can get something else worked up. I kind of adore writing crazy people, so. <3

Here's something I just wrote for my "Eragon" rewrite.


Rajani sat there on the floor, sighing heavily. “What’s wrong?” came a voice. She turned and saw Klaas standing there, watching her.
“Oh, Klaas!” Rajani threw her arms around him, and he held her close. “Everything’s wrong! Ihsan rejected me! We are perfect for each other, and he rejected me! And he says he’s in love with someone else, but he won’t tell me who! Oh, Klaas!”
“Now, Rajani, let that pretty boy do what he wants. He doesn’t matter. But I do. I will never reject you.”
“Truly?” Rajani looked up.
“Yes. Truly. You have my promise. Have I ever abandoned you? Like your mother? Like your loyal guard Lalit or your old nanny? Have I?”
“No, Klaas. You never have.” Rajani kissed him. “I miss you,” she said.
“I am never far. All you need to do is speak the word, and I am here. That is a promise.”
“Enough of the kissing,” Imana said with a snarl. “There is important work here to be done, Rajani and Klaas. Sarala can no longer rule this empire, and you must be ready to take her place, Rajani.”
“But I can’t,” Rajani protested. “I just can’t.”
“Can’t do what?” Rajani turned and saw her maid standing there. “Who were you talking to, Princess?”
“None of your business,” Imana snapped. “Go away.”
“My lady?”
“Listen to me!” Imana grabbed a glass goblet and threw it at the woman’s head. The maid fell to the floor. “Next time you will obey me,” Imana said as she picked up the sheathed knife that was on the table.

Rajani found herself standing there. Imana and Klaas were both gone. She suddenly screamed when she saw her maid lying on the floor, stabbed several times and covered in her own blood. “Help!” Rajani screamed. “Someone! Please!”
One of the guards ran in. “What happened?” he asked.
“I- I don’t know,” Rajani said. “I was just standing here and… I- I don’t remember.”

are we like supposed to evaluate the writing and give advice and what we think of it? Or is there another procedure?

@Dreven: Nope, this is a challenge thread. The idea is to respond to the prompt with an original piece.

@thread in general: ...should I try and write Saadi for this? I haven't tried to write her crazy in quite awhile, and she's been poking at me lately, the poor thing. <3

Saadi <3 *realizes she does this for just about every Rin character who's mentioned here and it may indicate obsession*

It would seem we need a new challenge, aye?

...Unfortunately, I cannot think of anything at the moment. Besides, I'm barely ever on here and haven't the slightest clue what challenges have already been made.

Shali's generally been in charge of creating new challenges, but she hasn't been on in a while.
