POLL TIME

Apr 05, 2009 15:46

I've been getting a few emails lately about whether or not there will be any more writing challenges happening... I say sure. But what does everybody want? So here is a poll!

Please see short description under each LJ-CUT.

Poll


Fic exchange:
This means exactly what it says: exchanging a piece of fanfiction. Members who wish to participate will first sign up under a screened post, with a short description of what they want and do not want to see in their fic:

good example:
Ichigo/Ishida
want: non-con, UST, angst
do not want: mpreg, AU
OR genfic is fine too

After this, everyone is given a prompt randomly chosen from the sign up list and a specific amount of time to write it. No one will know who they're writing for, or who is writing for them until the reveal date. It's like planning a surprise birthday party, so everything will have to be done rather secretively ;)


30minute fic challenge:
Members are given a prompt (under the cut) and 30 minutes all up to write a mini fic inspired by it. Then post the fic to that entry. The end!


Tag fic:
Members will sign up by commenting on the entry. The first person who comments will receive a prompt for a fic that must be written by a specific time and then posted to the community (the way you'd post a regular fic) immediately after they've finished. After this; it's their turn to come up with a completely different prompt and tag the person directly after them in the sign up entry via their comment.
Basically, it's like a tag game: I give the first person a prompt, they write it, post it to the community, make up a new prompt, and then give that prompt to the person after them by replying to the comment they made on the entry. The tagging order will go according to the order of the sign up list. So you must tag the person directly after...no random tags :P


Finish this sentence...:
I will post up an entry containing an unfinished sentence

E.g. 1. Renji was walking alone through the tall grass.

Someone else can comment on the entry to continue that line. Then the next person must continue the line previously posted and so on. Again, it's like another tag game.
Any one can participate at any time! You are allowed to post more than once, but not directly after your original post. For instance, once you've posted a sentence you must wait for someone else to make one before you can post again.
The goal is to create a mini fic out of everyone's combined sentences.
And on the reveal date, the entire result will be pieced together to form a full story.
Even if the story doesn't end up making any sense, it's still a fun exercise. And it helps you learn how to work collaboratively.

Okay. If I haven't explained anything properly, or you just don't get something (because I can't speakuh dat english), don't hesitate to ask :D

This poll will be up for 5 days. And then I'll get the ball rolling. So please pleeeease make a vote. The sooner we figure this out the sooner we can get down to writing :)

poll, challenge
