Writing prompts?

[estelle]

I miss LJ idol. Even if it was stressful to write to a deadline it got me writing and I am really glad I have these entries now. If I can post whenever about whatever.... I have all these half-baked ideas but I never sit down and actually put them to paper (or keyboard). Do you know about another writing community on LJ? Or writing prompts where

I miss LJ Idol too. I just now had a look at the dreamwidth site and he didn't even post there in 2023. I wonder what his future plans for it are.

I enjoyed the community in the green room.
LOL
I never stayed on the island very long - I was always voted off in the first few rounds, but it kept me showing up and reading on LJ.

What was LJ idol? Shows my ignorance. I've been on this site nearly 20 years and never heard of it.

It was a writing competition based on a US-American tv-show. (Survivor or American Idol, I forgot which one.) There was a new writing prompt and then participants would write an entry for that prompt. The weakest entry would be voted off the island/stage.

You can read some excellent entries as replies to these posts:

Ironically it recently started again and I missed it.
