So... we are going to have prompts too? I don't know if I like that.. (though I know it's not just about me) It makes me feel like I'm given a forced timed writing assignment in AP Literature again. That makes me uneasy... though I know it's not school here of course, It's just a mental thing that makes me not want to do it. but I'll see how I feel about it whenever the time comes and we actually get ...... prompts (I don't even like the word.)
No worries, they will still be fun. For example a few of us were talking about having a opening sentence that everyone must use. So all the stories would start with the same exact sentence, but then each writer is free to take the story in what ever direction they want. They will be fun prompts. Would you rather we call it a writing stimulus?
And if you ever aren't feeling a particular prompt then just skip that month. And we won't be doing prompts every month. We will still be doing general themes too.
@Carewren123 That's actually a really good idea!!! the starting sentence thing. that's nothing like academic prompts. sorry about my mentality, but in high school you know nothing but academic writing when it comes to "prompts" lol. but I would definitely partake in that.
I also didn't thank you for creating this wonderful challenge. I really enjoyed writing my first "creative writing" piece and it actually allowed me to see where my writing abilities are without anything legacy related since legacies usually write themselves. I loved it. Thanks again. Sorry for being long-winded.
Edit: and yes I like the name: writing stimulus instead lol. doesn't make me think about high school
Upon advice from @BBQPenguinWings I decided to give in and remove a couple more pictures so I could submit my short story. I prefer my full version overall but oh well at least this version is within the guidelines and can be submitted
Edit: and yes I realize doing this makes me a bit of a hypocrite. Oh well guess it's crow for dinner tonight
@AuroraLockwood I've got it added to the submissions list now. I'm glad you decided to enter. I don't think it makes you a hypocrite, you're allowed to change you mind.

Yay!! And it isnt hypocritical when you speak to someone with opposing ideas and they help you see it from their POV. Its just growth. And I am glad you entered it!

^^^ What I say ^^^ It's a sign of open-mindedness and maturity to reconsider one's point, rather than being inflexible. Flexibility is one of the ways we grow as artists and writers.
Oooh - I can't wait to read all these stories, but I want to finish my own first so I don't change my mind about what I'm writing. The draft is all done now, so all I have to do is screenshot (you know build sets, build characters, sigh) and edit.
Hopefully it won't be too much longer now cuz the stories listed here sound fascinating!
Check out Raerei's Fortress for Builds, Short Stories, and maybe some longer stuff.

Same here! Well apart from the draft and screenshots part. I haven't even begun yet.
Ohh, this looks like a lot of fun! I'm definitely going to be entering a submission! Now I just have to find the time to take screenshots, what with my recently hectic schedule. Everyone's submissions are lovely. :)
My I suggest a theme or idea for an upcoming week?
You have to pick a song and use the lyrics as your story and you need to illustrate it with screenshots.

I'll add it to my list of possibilities. This could be very interesting.
We're up to eleven submissions. I might need to go ahead and start reading them even though I haven't done mine yet, so that I don't end up with too many to read at the end of the month.
Thanks to everyone who has already participated and everyone who is planning on participating for making this whole thing better than I had imagined.

1 week sounds perfect, enough time to give everyone a chance to vote, without going on too long.
You have to pick a song and use the lyrics as your story and you need to illustrate it with screenshots.
Edit: I decided to create a section on my blog for unillustrated FanFic, so if you prefer reading at WordPress, it's here: https://cathytea.wordpress.com/2015/08/05/fanfic-the-wedding-of-nancys-ex/
Do you also play The Elder Scrolls Online? You can find me there as CathyTea, too!
