Posted with Walter's permission

There is exciting new functionality that we wanted you to know about, which is why we're sending this message.

The WWOMB now offers a way to get a daily listing of new stories that have been submitted to WWOMB, and stories that have been updated on WWOMB. You must enable this feature, however. You can do this by logging into the WWOMB at:
http://www.squidge.org/~peja/cgi-bin

Once you are logged in, click on "Account Info" at the top, then click on "Edit Personal Information". There is a new checkbox that asks, "Do you want a daily email with links to new and updated stories?". Simply click the checkbox, and once a day, you will get an email update from WWOMB with new and updated stories.

If you have questions, you can contact the archivist at makebelievearchive@gmail.com or the webmaster at walterh@squidge.org

Thank you!

Walter H., Webmaster
Squidge.org


SIDENOTE: since this message went out, Walter has added a tick box to receive newsletters for current news from the site as well. News can be as simple as the daily prompt, or as important as a glitch fix on site.

I've also added a board on http://peja1956.proboards.com/index.cgi to discuss the site and ways to make things more user friendly.

today's daily is...

authors choice #132 - broken wings - any pairing - any length:

write a story of any length to the prompt: How high can you fly with broken wings


Let the prompt infect you & carry you to greater heights.
Happy writing, folks

The numbering is off because I spent a while last night adding some author choice prompts from the 21 Jumpstreet ML to the challenge page on the archive (WWOMB). I think you might find some of them interesting. If you'd like to read through them, they can be found here.... http://www.squidge.org/~peja/cgi-bin/challenges.php?let=A

today's daily is...

authors choice #123 - one night only - any pairing - any length:

Several suggestions for using this prompt:
1. First time. Your character believes they only have a single night together for whatever reason. You can leave it at that, or take it to a later time when they meet again.
2. Your character gives out as a payoff...can turn into something better, or you can leave it.
3. Your character is a rent-boy [girl] and meets a stranger for paid playtime.
4. Sexual tension runs high at a party [gathering] and things go a little to far.

Let the prompt infect you & carry you to greater heights.

authors choice #122 - in private - any pairing - any length:

Several suggestions for using this prompt:
1. What does your character do in those moments when he's alone. ?
2. Does he have a special place where he can go to reflect on ...whatever it is he reflects on?
3. Is he ever really alone, or does someone join him in the private times for a little bit of fun an games?
4. Someone asks another "What are you like in private?"

authors choice #120 - there's a kid inside - any pairing - any length:

Your character feels the pull of his inner child.

Can be a joyful piece, a trip to some childhood favorite spot. A day at the amusement park. A ride on a merry-go-round.

Or go to that naughty place. A childish tantrum. A pout that borders on infantile.

Infantilism, anyone? Place your character in a diaper and give him/her a bottle (milk, not booze...or not.

Go with one (or more) of the suggestions, or let the prompt infect you & carry you to greater heights.

authors choice #120 - If you leave me - any pairing - any length:

Your couple are going through a rough spot. One worries that the other is going to leave. You decide the particulars. Be daring, push the envelope of the relationship...happy ending s are always preferred, but tragic works as well, and is not so often the case....and a break up could spell sequel...I'm just saying...

authors choice #119 - Winner takes all - any pairing - any length:

Its a night of games for your characters. Poker, preferred, but you can opt for something else. Can be a friendly game between friends (or enemies) or something more sinister...for instance a game to win a night with a non-player, or the player of choice. Be daring...Let your imagination take you to places it's never been. Have fun, guys and Write on!!!

authors choice #113 - Peacock's Village - any pairing - any length:

Use the phrase "Peacock's village" in a story. Can be the obvious local attraction, or a phrase to represent, whatever the words create for you. I found this phrase on the linebyline LJ and thought it was pretty visual. (I'll be posting my story for it, a BBC The Avengers short, soon as I get it back from the beta.)
