I pretty much agree with what people have said — the novelty might wear off, and it isn’t anything new.

Echoing Sarah, my personal reason for not being on is that my online activities here at SE generally correlate with how much time I’m actually spending writing… which, if taken up by school and summer homework, isn’t a lot :/…[Read more]

As you’ve noticed, activity has been pretty low here. Same with the other guilds.

That’s fine if everyone’s busy, but if it’s just because the guilds weren’t attractive enough…

Well, we should do something about that then.

After talking it over with some of the other SE staff. We have an idea. This isn’t a premade…[Read more]

Anyway, here’s the results.…[Read more]

It’s rough, but it’s down. Took a few turns I wasn’t planning for, but I think it’s pretty close. What do y’all think?

here are some ideas/suggestions! No need to use them, but hopefully there’s some inspiration for those of you writing.

– The little, ordinary fish should do something that relates to the MC’s inner struggle. Escaping a tangle of kelp. Popping back out of a larger fish’s mouth…[Read more]

Corissa, I love all your ideas, and I think they would be perfect— for a much larger story. 😛 I forget our exact word limit, but the enormity of all your beautiful themes would crowd out a lot of the simple rawness that can be such a strength in a short story.

You…[Read more]

There are so many great ideas here though, so keep it up!

@kate @cassandra If we’re not sure who’s drafting, we have had two people do separate drafts, just to get started. I don’t have a laptop at the moment, so I’m mostly going to be around…[Read more]

XP and it is very easy to lose sight of the prompt. Hm. Not just an exotic fish–but what would it be? A normal fish she sees a lot? Something ordinary that fell into the kelp? But somehow she sees beauty in it?

That would be interesting. You mean like the episode with Elijah and the fire from heaven–what the Baal worshipers were doing then? We could get real deep if we’re talking about depression and cutting themselves even just for worship. It’ll have to be handled in a very sensitive manner.
