Topic #43: Emergency/Crisis
Okay, let's see if we can get this baby off the ground. I've given everyone a deadline of next Friday. Traditionally we posted a new prompt every Friday. I know today is Thursday, but I am sure we can all use the lead time!
Topic #43: Emergency/Crisis
The Challenge: Write a scene/story where a character is forced to deal with an emergency/crisis.
Some Suggestions (In case you're really stumped) - Natural Disaster, Medical Emergency, or Vehcile Accident.
Restrictions:
Deadline: Friday March 28th, 2008
Edit: Clarified the number of people
I don't normally post the rules with the prompts, but since its been so long since we did this I thought it might be relevant.
The Rules
1. Your submission can be any length but it must fall within the given parameters of the topic. There should be a short synopsis and the story should be under an LJ cut.
2. You can write about past topics. Just make sure you mention what topic you are writing on. Past topics can be found under the MEMORIES section.
3. Constructive criticism is encouraged but bashing is not. If you post a story please critique others, even if you only comment on a few stories a week that helps the writer with a direction for revision and lets them know people are reading their work and they aren't posting in vain.
4. Please don’t make a separate introduction posts. Instead either say you’re new in the “comments” section of the topic’s post or state it when you send in your first story. That way not only do we get to say “Hi there” but we get to know a bit more about you at the same time.
5. It might help to write your story before reading others on the topic, but since we are all writing about the same thing, keep plagiarism accusations to a minimum.
6. Since this community is about having fun and self improvement you may post up to two revisions of the same story.
7. Work friendly icons and language on the main page please.
8. If you have topic idea that you think everyone with like, place it in the “Topic” comments on Friday. This way it gives us time to consider it, and apply it to the next Friday’s Topic.
9. Other writing communities may advertise here once per community.
10. Follow the TOS.
11. Have fun and be creative.
