Steward of the Pen

@writercatherine @steward-of-the-pen @esjohnson @evelyn @emily-d I’ll try writing the first draft, then; also, I’m using the name Dave as a placeholder for the time traveler. We can come up with a better one, but I might as well do this while I have time right now 😝

@steward-of-the-pen That is.. an oddly specific example. Anyway, rebellion happening here!! *throws cookies at @jane-maree*

@steward-of-the-pen I didn’t see them till after 😛

And I love the idea of him ending up during the ten plagues. 😂 I can just imagine the havoc! What if it was the last place he was at, and we end the story with Leonardo coming back into his studio, and finding everything as he left it… except for an exceptionally large amount of frogs.…[Read more]

@steward-of-the-pen  Before we go further, what is a chorkney?  I’m super curious! It sounds cool.

@evelyn @writercatherine @cassie-hartfinh @julia @all-other-Parimis

So, what is the less unique angle then? I still like the diary idea. And yeah, I’m not really sure about the humour aspect either, but hey, Steward, don’t you think that the m…[Read more]

@steward-of-the-pen @evelyn @coggleton Whoa, thanks for all the answers everyone.

Steward and Evelyn-thanks for the world building tips and links 🙂

Coggleton, can you believe that mine is going to be at least 3 A4 sheets of tracing paper…ACHEM.  XD  The guild looks really cool too.

@emily-d YAY! I love worldbuilding! *happy dance* 🙂

Worldbuilding for me starts with asking questions, whether it’s something small like: “What is the terrain for this country like?” to “What do my people believe the stars are?” or something larger like: “What would it be like if trees could talk?”

Over the past year, I’ve come up with a list…[Read more]

@steward-of-the-pen I would say that theme is slightly less important than comedy, since that is the main goal of this prompt. However, if you can include some nice theme, I know the judge would appreciate that. 😛

@writercatherine My main thoughts about uniqueness is that comedy is easily sacrificed for being unique, and you need to make sure…[Read more]

@steward-of-the-pen I see your point on uniqueness, but I’m still leaning towards it. Uniqueness is all well and good, but if everyone goes for uniqueness, the un-unique one becomes unique AND good writing and characters are some of the most important things. I think we could make that story a real powerhouse. But that’s just my opinion. Yeah, we…[Read more]

@steward-of-the-pen *backs away slowly* I don’t like simile bombs. I don’t like speaking only in similes. (I’m guessing that’s what that does?) BUT I HAVE COOKIES! *throws a cookie at the simile bomb*

@steward-of-the-pen I think that I like your diary idea and @julia ‘s idea best.

Question: if we did do the diary idea, would it be written by one person? Because it would be really cool for a writer to write for each character/group of characters (one for da Vinci, on for the evil artist, one for the trio). That way we could be using each…[Read more]

THE RESULTS ARE IN. Rillumen came out at the top with 39,179

A huuuge congratulations to them, because they did AMAZINGLY. And give yourselves a clap to. You guys threw yourself into it…[Read more]

@emily-d @jane-maree

I really like the idea of using da Vinici’s point of view, and all of these things are going wrong. Especially when you mix in @julia ‘s idea and have these people smearing paint all over it. I really like that idea. So, we should make a choice and start more specific brainstorming, probably. @steward-of-the-pen I love your…[Read more]

@steward-of-the-pen *waves a cookie under your nose* Come to our side and you can have all the cookies you want.

@ariella-newheart Definitely. Cookies are a necessity for rebellions. Bribery is key. 😉

@steward-of-the-pen I love the idea of using journal entries! That’s so cool!

@steward-of-the-pen Ha!

@jane-maree

I think @cassie-hartfinh and @steward-of-the-pen shared their totals already, before Jess made the announcement. 🙂

Thanks for sharing your word counts, all!

Those who haven’t yet–you have a couple of hours, but then I will be sending in the numbers. Drop in with your total asap,…[Read more]
