New Ideas Team

<img:stuff/writersco_divider2.jpg>

Now we have members! Yeah!
Here are our members:
[Metal Tsubasa]
[~*Lonely Wanderer*~]
[SleepingDragon]

<img:stuff/writersco_divider2.jpg>

This is where we as a team will put deadlines, brainstorming and anything else we will need.


Ideas for contests:

Weekly (or Monthly) One Day Showdown

The idea here is that once a week (or month) a new theme is posted and entrants have 24 hours to submit a story. This could be helpful in preparing aspiring writers to deal with short deadlines.

But with so few members on writersco... how are we sure anyone will even submit? It takes weeks to get a good bunch of people to get into a contest.-[Metal Tsubasa]

I guess you can never be sure, but if it's announced early and people talk about it in blogs and tell their friends, etc, that might help. To me it doesn't matter if it gets 2 entries or 15. If one person does the exercise, then it helped that one person. -[SleepingDragon]

That makes sence, I just hate it when a contest is put to waste. I suppose then, it could work, it sounds good. -[Metal Tsubasa]

lyrical prose - (wiki under construction)

A contest wherein each participant would base a short story on a song of their own chosing

Other stuff:

1. We've been asked by [Emily] to brainstorm ways to promote forum 15 <joinforum:15:join> (WC Contests) Right now it has a link on the mainpage with no explanation. It's not part of the regular listing when you click on forums.

Update: A new WC Contests forum has been created now in the regular listings. Thanks to [Font] and [Hedda] for the help with that!

2006-03-06 [SleepingDragon]: Lyrycal prose just needs to be finished up. I got kind of sidetracked inquiring about official badges which spured another conversation about a possible merit system, heh, I'm still kinda confused. Anyway the contest needs a prize and a few of the rules spelled out, maybe a nice banner

2006-03-06 [Metal Tsubasa]: Okay, so we need to talk to 'Pixie Shimer' (I don't know her real screen name)

2006-03-07 [~*Lonely Wanderer*~]: [Pixi_shimmer] <-- that's it. So no leprechauns but we're gonna go with the character thing? cool XD glad to be of help! Just a warning I wont be on tomorrow (3.7.06) so fair warning if you need me :)

2006-03-07 [Paz]: [pixie_shimmer] :P

2006-03-07 [Metal Tsubasa]: lol, see, no one knows it

2006-03-08 [~*Lonely Wanderer*~]: well it was somwhat close if i had it wrong i was going to go look up the spelling of it lol :D

2006-03-20 [Metal Tsubasa]: I was wondering about doing something to do with death. Like... what do you feel when you die, or what you think as you die... I dunno, something like that

2006-03-20 [SleepingDragon]: Ooo...good one! I'd be into that, but don't ask me to judge. I would want to participate.

2006-03-20 [Metal Tsubasa]: I know, me too. I got into a conversation with my friends about it and it really got me thinking

2006-03-26 [Metal Tsubasa]: So what would be a good name for something on death?

2006-03-26 [~*Lonely Wanderer*~]: "Does death let you feel?" or how about "Can you feel death?" and then describe that they have to writer about death lol *i would sooooo enter in that!)

2006-03-26 [Metal Tsubasa]: Hmmm... sounds okay... Yeah, I really want to do that, because it' s something I think about a lot (not because I'm suicidal or anything)

2006-03-26 [~*Lonely Wanderer*~]: yeah i understand i had an uncle pass away some time ago (nt very long) and i have a great grandfather in the hospital who went through by pass surgery (and he's having his ups and downs) so im thinking about it a lot too....

2006-04-11 [Metal Tsubasa]: Okay, I really want to get the 'death' contest up and running... any ideas?

2006-04-11 [~*Lonely Wanderer*~]: not at the moment maybe later (someone will have to post so I'll remeber this place again lol)

2006-04-12 [Metal Tsubasa]: I know, no one's done anything in a little while.

2006-04-12 [~*Lonely Wanderer*~]: okay my question to you is what exactly are we positionaing this contest on? is it more towards the effects of afterlife, the horrors of dying or something in between that?

2006-04-13 [Metal Tsubasa]: It's more on dying. Not the afterlife, but as one is dying, what do people think it is, or what do they think happens. I don't want just the whole 'light' thing, I want something origonal.

2006-04-13 [~*Lonely Wanderer*~]: like "as my grandmother lied in her death bed i wondered what it would be like as she died* FLASH *wait how did i get in ehr house* and so on and so forth kind of like going into the eyes of death am I right??? *or wrong??*

2006-04-15 [Metal Tsubasa]: ...it's more like from a dying persons perspective. That's what I was thinking of. I don't want to know what the living are thinking... however weird that sounds.

2006-04-15 [~*Lonely Wanderer*~]: i understand but while you guys are talking about this and I have some things happening at home I can't take it to read about death much anymore so please do this contest without my opinion...sorry....
