[♪] One Sky,

Seira has been facing some massive writer's block for months now. She decided she wants to do something about it.


Have you ever seen those "fanfiction100" things? (An example of one: http://acciobrain.ligermagic.com/fanart100.php .)

Is there one for writing/fanfiction?

I think that we, as a forum, should compile one, then that can be our next challenge after NaNo.

<33

Edited for size, it's kind of hard to read.

Your friendly neighbourhood ArcTrooper Wink

You mean, pick a book or something and everyone write a fanfiction on it?

[♪] One Sky,

No, sorry.

I guess I wasn't very clear.

We would compile a list of 50-100 or so words, such as "love," "winter," "flowers," etc. Just random words. Then, every person takes the list, interprets the words, and writes a short story or fanfiction based off of each word. They then post them in a list, so that you can see all the stories written.

When you look at that site, above each of those pictures is a word title. That's my inspiration for the list.

You've got the general idea. Basically, everyone who wants it gets "the list," and you write a story based off of each word in said list.
