Surprise! I'm writing my own Endurance series from scratch! Because I am a bit of a novelist, my version sort of jumps in and out of a third person narrative to an actual script format, so I hope that it isn't too confusing to follow. Here's a short example from the Right to Stay mission: (I've replaced all of the character names with placeholders) JD: “Alright, it’s already been 5 minutes and everyone is looking good. You guys are tough.” Michael grits his teeth in pain but holds on for dear life, while Lucas is surprisingly looking the most at ease. Randy glances around at his competition, trying to size up who will be the most likely to let go, when Kyle catches his eye. Kyle: “Hey, Randy. How are you doing?” Randy grins, a bit sheepishly from being caught: “Good, how are you?” Kyle: “Great! Never better. Thanks for asking.” Suddenly, from the other end of the row of boys… SPLASH!
One boy hits the water in a flash. JD: “Oh, that’s it! Landon is out of the game. Only two left.” Girls: “Good job, Landon!” (some clap for him) Does this sound okay to everybody? I have 4 & a half episodes written, but I wanted to make sure that people would be interested before going any further! And importantly, if y'all ARE interested - if anyone would like to give me suggestions/help come up with ideas for challenges, I would love to discuss it through PMing! Creating challenges is definitely the hardest part for me, so I could use all the help I can get

I am so interested! I love reading these! The excerpt looks good to me! And, surprise... I have my own story in the works. no word on its release date yet though haha As for challenges, I agree with you that they're pretty hard. Especially for writing them, it can be a little tedious and hard to write. So I totally sympathize with you there. What I usually do for missions and stuff is take inspiration from other shows. I'll use missions from Endurance or I'll google the missions from other reality shows like Survivor, Big Brother, Solitary, the Challenge, etc and just borrow those challenges

You totally should write it!! These are so fun to write, just sometimes it gets discouraging when people don't comment. I promise I would though! Challenges usually aren't too hard for me since I've hosted many Endurance and Survivor parties at my house that I'm used to coming up with them. Just think about stuff they could do on Endurance or Survivor like Bryan said, but just use creativity and don't make them too complex! My least favorite part is writing about challenges, I much prefer the dialogue. Excited to hear both of you will be writing!

Lol this is exactly why I wanted to see if I would have any readers first Thanks so much, you guys!! Also for the challenge suggestions! I'll definitely take what you both said into consideration Unfortunately I'm not sure when I'll be posting it, simply because I know that if I don't have most of it written by the time I start posting, I'm going to get lazy and not want to finish haha. But I hope to at least have the first episode up by September!

That's why I'm not posting mine right now lol I actually have two Endurance stories that are finished saved on my flash drive, and a third one that I stopped after the final four. The language is a bit on the colorful side for the seasons though, and one of them is an all star season, which was my favorite one.

Thought I'd give an update on this - I've gotten SO MUCH written over the last few months, which I'm really excited about! Actually, I only have one episode left to go at this point So… without further ado, here is the official logo for Endurance: Koror Palau! Expect Episode 1 to be up on March 5th, 2016. I'll be posting a new chapter every Saturday, unless noted otherwise, to kinda keep up the feeling of "watching" it as a new season of Endurance. I've spent so long with the kids in this story hahaha, I can't wait to share them all with you guys!
