The Rules v. 1.0

Welcome to Master & Madness!

Here are the rules of the game:

First, check the OneWord link every day. As soon as there's a new word, give your good sixty seconds and then post it on here.

Second, check the project posted at the beginning of the week. Post questions in the comments of the weekly project post if any portion of the topic confuses you at all. A week begins on Sunday and ends on Saturday.

Third, try to write every day. Leave lots of constructive criticism in the feedback and do the best you can to help each other.

Fourth, your limit is 100 words. Seriously. 100. Use whatever tools in whatever word processors works best for you and make sure you have your 100 limit. We are working on an honor system, however, so there will be no repercussions if your work isn't 100 on the nose. Still - 100. No more, and certainly no less. (I know I originally said sixty seconds, but it'd be better if we stuck with a word limit rather than a time limit. If we can do it well briefly, we can do it well when we have more space. Although brevity is the soul of wit.)

Fifth, label your posts. Can be anything from "random" to "Dagaz" (but really, only use that one if you must). Try to use a consistent system of labels, so check the existing list of labels before randomly slapping one on your post.

Sixth, there will be overviews. At the end of the week, we make our confessions - strengths, weaknesses. Posts of our own we liked most and liked least. Types of writing we found typical, we thought were experimental, we enjoyed doing or were like pulling teeth. Places we improved. Places we screwed up.

Seventh, these rules ares subject to alteration and change as the game progresses.

In the meantime, game on.
