Ok, so are there any questions?

SHORT STORY #1


Genre: Fantasy & Sci-Fi

Prompts: Choose 1 of 3 (view spoiler)[

#1. Everyone in the world has the ability to read minds, except for you. However, you’re also the only person who’s mind can’t be read...

#2. They were muttering gibberish to themselves while working, not knowing they were actually about to cast a spell...

#3. ‘I wish I could skip next week’, you think as you get into bed that night. In the next morning, you wake up 100 years in the future...

(hide spoiler)]

Word Count: 750-1000

Requirements: Must include... (view spoiler)[

- a unique title

- 3+ GR members as characters

- the words: brainstorm, armadillo, lasagna, bounce, & typewriter

- a fun storyline!

(hide spoiler)]

End Date: All short stories must be submitted on Monday the 29th. Not before and not after to keep it fair.

Submission: On the day specified above, you will post your entire story on this topic to be submitted in the poll.

Winner: Once all submissions are in, we will set up a secret poll to determine the winner. The poll will end on Wednesday at 11:59 PM and we’ll have our winners on Thursday!

Well, I just hope this one will turn out good! The genre is Fantasy and Sci-Fi, so Meg and I will pick a prompt and let y’all know in about an hour! We’ll set up a rules/requirements list also, so you guys will know what is expected. We can’t wait to see what you guys write!

Oh... yeah, ok...

Hm... you can still join! If you want, you could always send your writing to me and I’ll tell you how many words you have?

Haha! Ok, we’ll make a poll. Anyhoo...

What if we start tomorrow? Then we’ll take about a week or so to write [[depends on if y’all need extra time]] then present them!

We’ll also decide on a word count. 750-1000 seems good, but we’ll need to get your feedback.

Whelp, that’s all for now. Be back tomorrow for the announcement!

*crickets*

Ok, these are the categories! We are going to let you guys choose the genre and then we’ll decide on the prompt. Do we need to make a poll or can y’all peacefully come to a decision?


Comedy
Creative Nonfiction
Dramatic
Fantasy and Science Fiction
For Kids
General
Historical Fiction
Holiday
Mystery
Romance
Thriller and Suspense

How long would it take y’all to write... hm... let’s say... a 750 word story?

Thx! I hope it works!

Okey dokey. So Meg found a good website to use for prompts, so they might be kinda random and/or weird.

Any ideas on the word count? We’re thinking that it might change from prompt to prompt, but let us know how many words you think is “normal”!

When should we start and how long should the writing last? A week?

Ok, so this is kinda a jumbled mess of ideas right now, so bear with us. We’ve seen a few other groups do “competitions” whether it be songs or art, but there’s no story ones!

Basically, we’ll decide on a prompt, then y’all can write a short story, reflecting it. We’ll limit the length to a certain amount of words, so we suggest you write in Google Docs [[or some other platform that has word count]] before posting here.

Most importantly, have fun! Let’s try to keep the stories clean [[y’all know what to and not to do]] and good for everyone! We can’t wait to see what you come up with!

That’s not even how you spell dead... 😞

I be brain ded now...
