Prompts R Us

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

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.


There you have it guys. anyone up for it? word

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 wanted to remind everyone that they are able to post prompts and challenges to the list as well. More the merrier.

If you like the prompts being posted here and think others would like to join us, please go ahead and pimp the comm. The more folks who come to play, the better chance we have of gettng in new stories.

Todays prompts were for CSI, Dr Who, Ghost Whisperer, Supernatural, Torchwood. They hit the comm late, so expect more for later. Let me know your fandoms, so can gear some prompts towards your interests

Remember you can adopt any prompt in the fandoms and make them an author's choice if another fandom or character seems to fit it better for you. these prompts are just a stimulus to get the words flowing

promptsrus posted a 7 Days story for an authors choice prompt.

Todays prompts were for Author's choice, Becker, Charmed, Leverage. I've also added a new sention for Mythology Legend and Folklore prompts. Just a place I can post these creatures and maybe inspire their use in our works. Let me know your fandoms, so can gear some prompts towards your interests

I've decided to reward folks who actually write and share something on the site by posting prompts for the fandom and the characters/pairing they're sharing in, so if you want to see more in a favorite fandom, write a prompted story and share it with us...or send us your own prompts.

That said, we got our first story thanks to lastmanstanding for a delightful Torchwood, Jack/John piece. I've added several new Torchwood prompts for everyone's consideration. I've also added prompts for Lie To Me and NCIS as well as several new author's choice prompts

Suspect that might be it for tonight. I'm tired. Gonna go lie down

NOTE: about the fandom/character prompts...If any one of these spur a story in a different fandom, feel free to adapt it to what you'd like

Have a fandom you'd like prompts for, tell me and I'll see what I can come up with

Laters

I wanted to get some feedback as to what fandoms you intested in getting prompts for?
