Myshuno! Sign-up Post
This is the sign-up post for Myshuno! 2011.
The rules can be found here. Please ask any challenge-related questions in that post. This one is only for sign-ups.
To sign-up, comment to this post using the following format:
Name: (this can be your LJ name and/or whatever else you're generally known by)
Story/Stories: (these are the project(s) you will be writing for and want prompts for)
I would (not) like... (this space is for you to list anything you especially want or anything you are not willing to write. For example, if you want to include smutty prompts, or if you would prefer general prompts. Please try to keep it to two or three specific likes or dislikes.)
After you have signed up, please prompt other people as well! (If you are not familiar with their story, you can contribute a vague prompt such as a situational one.) For example: post a situational prompt such as "waiting in line" or "road trip," or character/pairing specific ones such as "Lilith Pleasant" or "Lilith/Dirk." The prompts can be whatever you'd like, as long as you keep the person's preferences in mind (if they post any).
You do not have to sign up in order to prompt people. Everyone has twenty-four spaces to fill, so they will want as many ideas as possible. Let's say, for now, that you should only contribute a maximum of three prompts per person.
***
As for making your card, please wait until you have a final list of twenty-four prompts before you make up a card. You do not have to take every prompt idea you are given, but you must have twenty-four prompts. In a couple of weeks, we will post a list of generic prompts that you can use to pad out your card if you need to. Once you have your final list, let us know. We will then freeze your sign-up thread, and you can create your card.
To create your card, take your list of prompts and put them on the Myshuno! template. We have two versions of it.
PNG version
Microsoft Word version
With the PNG version, you would add your prompts to the card with Paint or whatever image editing program you have. If it's easier for you, you can type them into the grid on the Word version.
We are not requiring you to add your prompts to the card in a particular order. However, in the spirit of the challenge and for a little randomness, we suggest one of two ways:
1. Put the prompts on the card in the order you received them (top to bottom, left to right).
2. Take your final list of prompts and run it through random.org's list generator, then put them in the card in that order (top to bottom, left to right).
The plumbbob in the middle of the Myshuno! card is a free space. You may use that either for automatic credit (to claim a Myshuno! if you've written up all the other prompts in that row) or as a "writer's choice" space, if you want an extra challenge.
Confused? Ask as many questions as you like in our rules post above. Instructions on how to claim either Myshuno! or Blackout will be posted closer to the start date.
Otherwise, go ahead and sign up, and get to prompting your fellow writers!
