WWOMBs Speed Writing Write Off Weekend Event

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

Virus challenge

The character(s) is hit with a virus/spell that turns his/her/their powers hinky. I.E. Remy's charm goes hyper and strikes anyone in range, drawing them to him like honey and bees. Storm's power backlashes at unexpected moments, leaving the group drenched in sudden downpours, blown into walls/bushes/each others arms out of a sunny blue day. Logan's claws turn rubbery and limp...well you get the idea...choose your own characters and hinky results. can do as many short fics for the various characters as you like or combine it in a comedy of disasters, just dare to imagine
