@caserola We have prompt wars once a month for two weeks. I don’t think we have a designated writer yet, so you can be one of them! The word limit is 2500 words, and we want to be done writing by the 24th. We still need other writers, so I think you will start writing around Saturday. It is against all the guilds, although there have been times…[Read more]

@caserola @karthmin I have vaguely heard of vines, but I don’t know what they are. Are they like memes?

We did a lot of brainstorming yesterday! We got more detail down than we normally do for these wars, but I think that is important for a mystery.

If no one has any more suggestions then we can get started writing tomorrow. A couple of people expressed an…[Read more]

@caserola This is a team thing! Everyone helps to brainstorm, and then we normally have two or three people volunteer to write the story. Then everyone helps to edit it. When I say “everyone”, I mean “everyone who wants to” since this is a voluntary battle. You could help write or edit when the time comes for that.

We do a lot of our…[Read more]

I’ve been suddenly transported to another universe you say? Well, it’s a good thing I have prepared for just such an occasion. A couple of years ago I wrote an entire guide called “A Guide to Surviving Sudden Transportation into Another Universe and Making it Back to Your Own in Mostly One Piece” because I thought it was funny and I was…[Read more]

@caserola That’s a good idea. I’ll put it in the doc.

@karthmin A SE Guild gettogether like that would be super awesome! I would probably lose at all of those things, but I would lose super awesomely!

I am looking forward to the changes to the guild.

We need to start making brainstorming decisions. The deadline for brainstorming is Friday. So, I have made up a victim, setting, half-a-motive, and weapon. Feel free to stop me if you have another idea. We can tweak it as much as needed.

Backstory: Ison Crow is the Mayor of [Placeholder Town. Perhaps E-ville]. He invites the elite of the town to…[Read more]

@karthmin @morreafirebird I don’t really know where I was going with this, but here are some thoughts from me.

Going off of the live-interacting-helps-friendships, I think the thing that brought me closest to Erekdale was the Hangouts chats. Spending an hour quoting Marvel at each other was really fun. There isn’t a lot of time to think and…[Read more]

@mariam I also did OYAN! My novel got to the 2018 semi-finals, it was very exciting.

What you should do next works differently for every author. I like plotting out the story before I get started. I make a list of all the characters and list physical and character traits. I write down what summery of the story I have. Generally, this will be…[Read more]

@michael_stanton @caserola Hi! As you can see from the initial post, I am the Warmaster of Erekdale! We are currently in a prompt war right now! You can find more information about this month’s war here. The war is a lot of fun, but it isn’t mandatory to being in a guild.

We normally do a lot of brainstorming through Hangouts. The chat for the…[Read more]

@overcomer I don’t know of anyone who is a scientist, so if anyone does know a scientist, feel free to overrule me.

I read a book once where there was a group of scientists and one of them said, “This is happening just as I postulated!” It made me want to bang my head against the book. No one says “postulated” unless they are joking or being…[Read more]

@karthmin

I wrote this short story the other day, about how Snow White’s prince was literally kissing a corpse and how that’s a very strange thing to do, and my dad told me, “You like writing the stories that almost were.” That pretty much exactly describes how I get most of my story ideas. What is this story had this twist instead of that one?…[Read more]

@karthmin Thanks for answering my question. It looks like my brother wins this round of which-character-is-more-sympathetic-according-to-karthmin, but I’ll get him next time! *shakes fist at the sky* *flies off on the back of a dragon*

Seriously though, I didn’t think about these characters like this before. It was very interesting. Thanks.

@karthmin Aw that sucks! It’s really annoying when that happens. I am looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

@seekjustice Those are good ideas.

@kelly-lundgren I had a hard time getting excited about it as well, although that may have partly been because of the prompt, which I did not connect with AT ALL. I think we will go back to multiple writers next time.

Editing time! Thanks @seekjustice! Remember, the word limit is 2500 words, and the deadline is midnight tomorrow night.

@seekjustice how is it going? I appreciate you volunteering to be the writer. If you need help we would be happy to assist! Even if you aren’t done, could you put it in the doc? We need to start editing soon.  The deadline is Sunday night.
