New Ideas Team

Now we have members! Yeah!
Here are our members:

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!
