Makebelieve

I've opened an account for the WWOMB archive and lists on twitter. Will be a place to keep track of stuff, request new story or fandom challenges, announce changes and downtime info..maybe even for me to announce a new chapter or story I'm posting...as well as announcements for other folks if they email them to me for posting...whatever. let me know what you'd like to have happen there by commenting here.

WWOMBs Speed Writing Write Off Weekend Event

The speed writing write off is officially Saturday thru this Monday this week, but folk have various days off so you can unoficially do the speed writing challenge at any time you have a 24 - 48 hour block of time...your personal weekend, as it were.

The challenge is to write as many stories in all fandoms or genres that you can in the specified block of time. the stories can be in the form of poetry, ficlets, drabbles and chapters...whatever you're inspired to write. This is a good time to check off chapters of those impending WIPs or plot bunnies that have been clambering for attention.

If you need more ideas for stries, try using these WWOMB associated challenge areas

PromptsRUs is about a month old, but I'm posting up to 20-30 prompts a day there. It currently has many authors choice prompts and challenges, as well as prompts/challenges for these fandoms....

AdoptAPlotBunny has been around for a couple years. Its got even more challenges, in even more fandoms, but the frequency of challenges there isn't the same as the above, sorry bout that.

The WWOMB challenge page has challenges from all my lists, posted by me and the list sibs, and has challenges dating back to '99.

The fandom specific challenges can be adapted to authors choice. so that's the challenge, burn through those pending WIPs and whatever challenges that catch your muse and share with us.

Single fandom/theme lists & comms, over the weekend, you are encouraged to post in whatever fandom you want. Be sure to alert folks in the sub line if the story is in a different fandom or genre when posting a list.

Oh and Pass the challenge around around to your own lists and comms, inviting folks to post their offerings to one of the prompts sites

I've recently, like yesterday, discovered this journalling site and find I like it quite a lot. I"ll be dupping the LJ comms over here for folks who like to play in both areas, and to reach more poeple.
