Posted August 22, 2012 (edited) Let's try and get the juices going. Every weekendOnce a month I will post a stimulus - it may be a picture, a song (with lyrics), a news report, etc. The challenge is to produce a creative response in a manner that you deem suitible. Ideally the responses will be short stories, but a poem or a 'novel etract' will be just as good to read. If others have ideas for challenges or stimuli then we can do those too - I'd like to be challenged as much as the next person. Any thoughts? Any interest?

Posted August 22, 2012 Why not, sounds like a good idea. At least give it a try and see what happens. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 23, 2012 Ok, so the first weekly challenge is here. You can reference everything, anything, or nothing. Imagine your story is coming out on that post's album - so your piece can be featured in, or influenced by, the stimuli. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 26, 2012 When is the "deadline" for bringing together what we've got for this? Just any point through this coming week or something... I've been plotting out an idea for the first of these the last two days and think I've got something to work with. So far I've writing 2 pages of A4 which is more than I've managed to scribble together in a long time. Not sure how much of it as a short story I'll get done with but suppose if I applied myself I could finish it up easily enough. Not a particularly long winded idea but deep enough I feel.

Posted August 26, 2012 Yeah, I think a week is too short a deadline - I'm really busy for the next couple of weeks, but would certainly like to submit something for challenge #1 after that. Could we make it a month maybe? I guess we could always have rolling challenges if people want more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 26, 2012 If a week is too short then a month can be fine I don't see an issue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 10, 2012 When I finish, do I just drop it in the other thread? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 1, 2012 uhhh, embarrasingly this project has sprawled into my nanowrimo warmup. I'm like 2500 words in and I don't think I'm even halfway done...I might do a drawing for this in lieu of finishing in the right month! crap! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
