Reports

Reports were sporadic at best, through crackling static and snowy television screens. No one knew what was going on besides the screams outside and the explosions. When those ended, the silence was worse, and after a while the static and snow became like old friends. No one could decide when it would or wouldn’t be safe to go out, so no one braved the door.

And then, one day, someone knocked.

By then, there was no one left to answer.

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.
