 |
|
Would anyone be interested in another group writing challenge?
As you may or may not have noticed, I have completely failed in my challenge mod duties for the site in general, for which I can only apologize and whine that no one was participating and rl is a full time job etc.
That being said ... my writing hand is getting itchy but my writing brain empties itself every day at work and I think my imagination could benefit from some peer pressure. I don't know what form another group challenge would take so I hope this will start a discussion, gauge some interest, and generate some interest.
What do YOU think?

Just popped into my head - maybe a Hobbit theme? Perhaps random character assignment ...

I was just remembering that challenge series I did a couple years ago (FARK! Where does the time go!) with fondness a couple days ago. I'd be game. You want to DM the thing, or what?

Hey! Glad you're enthusiastic.

DM? You lost me. (Dungeon Master?) I'm happy to manage if I can play too. I've got a drumset and we can practice in my mother's basement ...

Yeah, DM/GM. Though for this I guess it'd be CM (Challenge Master, which sounds like it needs to be followed by evil laughter of the muwah ha ha ha *lightning flash* variety).
We'll have to get more people involved, though. Spam LJ? I can poke Binks by email and see if she's up for it.

I'm definitely interested. School seems to have sucked all the creative juices from my brain. A challenge seems just the thing to revive me.
I like the idea of doing something Hobbitish. Random character assignments always help stir the juices. I don't know what other parameters might add to the fun. I'll try to think of something tomorrow.

I'll be happy to play. If the Hobbit theme is what folks decide on, I'll do my best, but I haven't read it in a long time and won't get a chance to freshen my canon-brain any time soon. Apocryphal craziness will ensue. Or you could let me write in another fandom. Am all into Dr Who and Game of Thrones at the moment. Or original fic. I can always do that.
Heck, if push came to shove, I could make a Hobbit-themed piece into an original story, what with the crappy adherence to canon and all. So sure, count me in.  |

If you know anyone else still in the game, as it were, prod them please.

Gonna remind someone who's very rusty - how does a group challenge work?

Need a wayward bassist for this gig?

Bassist? I figured you'd be on drums, what with your proclivity for striking implements.

If Binks would like to play and the POTENTIAL Hobbit theme is the only thing keeping her please tell her the theme is far from settled.
I for one would rather have Binks than be restricted to the Hobbit.

Excellent. Looks like we have myself, NeumeIndil, Eiranae, Viv, SpaceWeavil  , and Vlad on board, plus potentially Robinka, and Silvermoon lady who has expressed interest to me in participating. Of course, ANYONE is welcome to join in.
Fabulous!!
So, now, what shall we write on?
We need to have, in the words of Broomfondle (or was it Majikthise?) "Rigidly defined areas of doubt and uncertainty" or, to put it another way, some restriction so we're all working on the same challenge + a random element + room for imagination.
e.g. (examples only, please chime in with feedback!)
 The Hobbit, random (major) character generation, and a theme we all agree on (right now I'm thinking 'Reunion', long or short term).
Another "way I see it challenge" where we all write on a single moment (we could randomly choose from the previously generated list (see early forum posts)) from any perspective.
You pick the fandom, with a universally agreed upon theme and writing devise, e.g. flashback, UST, disguise, others. Feedback, please.
and, btw,
