New Ideas Team

<img:stuff/writersco_divider2.jpg>

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

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!

2006-04-15 [~*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....

2006-04-15 [Metal Tsubasa]: Oh...okay...

2006-04-15 [~*Lonely Wanderer*~]: thanks for understand...

2006-04-27 [Metal Tsubasa]: Okay, who here hates fan fics?

2006-04-27 [~*Lonely Wanderer*~]: i dont i think thier hilarious!!! :D lol

2006-04-27 [Metal Tsubasa]: *twitch, twitch* I hate them.... I really wihs people could be creative and stop stealing other people's characters and ideas.

2006-04-28 [~*Lonely Wanderer*~]: lol i think its a way to see someones character in a different POV lol

2006-04-29 [Metal Tsubasa]: I don't, I think it's people being lazy that can't think for themselves.

2006-04-29 [~*Lonely Wanderer*~]: I understand you POV but you got to look at thiers as well :)

2006-04-29 [Metal Tsubasa]: I have, because I used to only write fan fics... then I grew up. I really don't like the idea. The only time I write fan fics is when I've got writers block, because it takes no thinking whatsoever to write them. They're usually poorly writen and always end up with some random character that is supposed to be the writer thrown in there. It just really bugs me.

2006-05-07 [Marten]: I stopped getting into other peoples characters around the age of eight, Robin Hood I believe was my last. I found it far more fun to create my own, since they thought along lines I understand. Of course, when I played Robin Hood, he thought along lines I understand, since there was no real character base behind him.

2006-05-07 [Metal Tsubasa]: Yeah, fan fics were what got me really into writing, but then I did what you said. Characters are much more fun when they are your own. I personaly love my characters, because then I can get inside the heads that I've shaped. It's fun to see how someone else will respond to a familiar situation.

2006-05-26 [SleepingDragon]: Hi. Sorry for my abscence of late. PC woes and real life issues have taken up a good share of my time recently. My apologies. I've addressed the fan fic question at Lyrical Prose, siting the rules of the site which forbid it. Hope it don't ruffle too many feathers.

2006-05-31 [Metal Tsubasa]: No, I think everyone here is really cool about stuff like that.

2006-05-31 [~*Lonely Wanderer*~]: :D he he he...im going to be having a big project for here soon so...*cant say anymore* :P

2006-05-31 [Metal Tsubasa]: Cool.

2006-05-31 [~*Lonely Wanderer*~]: :D

2006-07-03 [Metal Tsubasa]: C'mon people, let's get some stuff up and going.

2006-07-09 [~*Lonely Wanderer*~]: i got an idea....a murder competition...short story...about the fourth of july...since its past and murders are past tense it might owkr... *shrugs* its a start
