Project Assignment Brainstorming

All right, writers, let us bring the game back to life! We need ideas, and we need impetus. Come spill your ideas about project assignments - do old, fun, beloved ones again, try something new, bring in new players...what do you want to do? Let me know! We can keep this alive together.

I like the old system where we write rewards for each other - I think that's a good gig, because good writing habits should definitely be rewarded.

So...we have until Sunday. Throw down your ideas and let's get this party started!

Love,


Your Mod.

ETA:

Here are the suggestions we've had so far. Feel free to add more:

Raise a character (in six days)

Build a world (in six days)

Build a place (six places, one per day)

Song Fics

Picture Fics

Proverb Fics

Epistolary fics

Theme: travel (this is new!)

New day (going from one day to the next)

A year in the life of (either one year per day or one year over six days - we'll decide when we get there)

Secrets

The Last Time (we've done this one decently recently in memory, so we'll move that to the lower end of the list)

New characters in 100 words (one character a day for six days)

Things I know I need to work on:

World-building

Building scenes visually

Something other than dialogue!

Also...it'd be nice to get down with some new characters. I'm still in love with the same old ones - it's time for a change, so the challenge where we raised a character might be nice to re-do.

Raised a Character?

How about creating a character in 100 words

Song Lyrics

Basing a scene around a picture

Proverbs

A scene where your character writes a letter

Travels

A new Day. Where your character moves from one day into another

A year - Telling about a year in the life of your character, but limited to a set word count

Secrets

The Last. In which it is the last time someone does something.
