premise and guidelines.
"A sideways homage to Gaiman and to his incomparable Sandman, rather than stories set in the comic's universe, would be a collection of all these tales listed but not (yet) written, generated by Madoc's punishment. Each thrown-out line could be turned, by some suitable writer, into a story. It would be loving, respectful, hopefully intriguing and, if done right, not a little unsettling, given the grotesque nature of the crime that spawned these punitive inspirations." The aim of the community, then, is to take Madoc's ideas and use them as prompts -- for fiction, for a short comic, for a piece of artwork, a photoshoot, a poem, anything. Our only limitations here are that you don't violate IJ's TOS and try not to post anything of obscene wordcounts (i.e. don't write chapter upon chapter upon chapter, folks). Use your discretion in your subject matter: if it's something you think will really offend people, feel free to make a post on the comm asking so, e.g. "My story about Prompt X involves rape/incest/murder/drug use, let me know if this is a problem!" Not that we think everyone and their mom is going to be pulling a Comedian, but just in case. As far as rules go, they're pretty simple:
Other than that, you're pretty much free to do as you wish! You don't need to post anywhere letting the comm know you're using a prompt; just go ahead and use it, and post when you're done! :D |
