I HAVE RESULTS.

.

Rillumen won with 39,175 words.

They practically hit the nanowrimo goal XD BUT we were only 3k behind them. The guildmasters realized that all the words written throughout the guilds last week nearly equaled the word count of the Count of Monte Cristo. *pumps fist* 😉

GREAT JOB to everyone who was able to write this…[Read more]

Audrey Caylin started the topic 2018 Week 22: A recap on conflict and our new topic! in the forum Annual Theme Discussion 8 years, 1 month ago

Good evening, Ereki!

This will be our last topic on conflict. I just wanted to take a minute to summarize what we went over and highlight some important points:

– Conflict is the lifeblood of stories. If there’s no conflict, there’s no story.

– The strongest conflict is internal conflict. It’s what makes external conflict and everything else…[Read more]

I don’t have an exact date yet, but it will be happening SOON. *throws confetti*

Good evening, Ereki!

The winning guild for the word war will be announced soon, but in the meantime, we have another prompt war beginning.

The prompt is:

Write a comedy based on the mona lisa

Considering how hilarious our last prompt war entry was, I think this is right up our alley 😉

Rules are the same as last time. HERE is a document for…[Read more]

Good evening, Ereki!

I have two quick announcements:

1) I’m moving our annual theme discussion to Tuesdays. I feel like I tag you all a lot on Mondays anyway, and it’s become a pretty crazy day for me 😛

2) We’re wrapping up our annual theme discussion! I’m planning on having us spend this week and next week completing our discussion. If there…[Read more]

Good afternoon, Ereki!

We’re at war again (though I think we’re getting used to this so it’s nothing to get worked up about 😉 ). This week’s guild war lasts for only a week, and it’s a word war.

WORD WAR RULES

– the war lasts one week, starting today at 12am and ending next Sunday (30th) at 11:59pm. I posted this a bit late today, so any f…[Read more]

Hi guys!

Here’s the second part of my September critiquing piece: the first chapter of my current WIP!

What to critique for:

– Character Development: are my characters described enough? Can you get a good image of them in mind?

– Setting/Worldbuilding: How’s the setting? Even though this is early on in the WIP, can you get a fairly clear…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting Same…. I really don’t like homework. XP

I’ve gotten some work done on my current WIP, but not as much as I’d have liked. I will hopefully get my two chapters in for the competition thingy we’re having…can someone send me the link to the forum page for…[Read more]

@allison-grace alrighty — I’ll keep that in mind 😉

@sarah-inkdragon two votes for character development then.

For your piece — I like it! You did a great job including action and dialogue to show the conflict, rather than just having his thoughts bounce back and forth.

@sarah-narnathron I’m thinking of starting on a new one sometime in…[Read more]
