Gwaine Necklace Challenge

I'm taking this down from Fanfiction.net and archiving it here...

Gwaine and the Necklace: A Writing Challenge!
Gwaine wears a chain, and on the chain is hung two items: a gold ring and a silver object. What is the significance of this necklace? Where did it come from? Why does Gwaine wear it? Surely it has a story behind it that is important to the character of Gwaine.
So here is a challenge! Write your own version of the story of Gwaine and the Necklace. Call your story "Gwaine and the Necklace: _" (you make up the last word or words of the title), and post it here on FanFiction. Post reviews for the stories you like. The story with the most reviews by the end of January 31, 2012 is the winner!

A Few More Rules:
We've had some awesome questions and suggestions that lead us to add a few more details for the contest:
There will be three categories of stories, and a winner will arise from each:
- Oneshot (Single-chapter)
- Midlength (2-10 Chapters)
- Long (11 or more chapters)
Multi-chapter stories must have at least 600 words per chapter.
Reviews must be "signed" in order to count. Sorry – we know that one is painful! But we need to keep it as fair as possible, and that will help.
I will be participating, but will not be considered elligible to win.
We appeal to your sense of integrity as you play! Write the best story you can and be true to that story in how you present it. Then trust the material to bring you votes. It is a far, far better thing to participate with integrity than to win without it! And we don't want to have to saddle everyone with too many annoying rules.
Feel free to call it a "pendant". (Aparently a chain round the neck is commonly called different things in different parts of the world. That is so cool to discover!) But please do stick with the title format using the word "necklace" so we all can find your story and give you reviews.
We so look forward to reading your stories!

Below is the Original Challenge:
Gwaine and the Necklace: A Writing Challenge!
Have you noticed that when Eoin Macken goes for a TV interview he wears Gwaine's necklace? And the people interviewing don't ever notice and never ask him about it!
Gwaine wears a chain, and on the chain is hung two items: a gold ring and a silver object. What is the significance of this necklace? Where did it come from? Why did the costume designer create this item, and why does Gwaine wear it? If Eoin Macken chooses to wear it for interviews, surely it has a story behind it that is important to the character of Gwaine.
So here is a challenge! Write your own version of the story of Gwaine and the Necklace. Call your story "Gwaine and the Necklace: _" (you make up the last word or words), and post it here on FanFiction. Post reviews for the stories you like. The story with the most reviews by the end of January 31, 2012 is the winner!
I can't wait to read what we all write... Cheers, and good luck!
