Rules
Please post links to your stories/poems here. Book your spot by replying below and update that post with links as the month goes on. DO NOT create new replies for your stories, and please indicate if your story for the day is of a mature nature (PG+). The Word of the Day will be listed here and updated the day before. Any questions, problems or comments? Message me or see the other thread over here.

Otherwise, no real rules: genre, form, style and length is entirely open, cliche list is out the window and there is no "disqualification" if you miss a day (or use a "get out of jail free" card if you're working on Text entries instead ;-) ). Experimentation and playfulness is encouraged, don't stress about quality or "winning", and most of all have fun! This is wild and reckless writing at its finest!

Wow, we're not doing too well with this! I'm going to try and post little short things, just to get caught up. MollyCule, Shillelagh, Dio....? Anyone else still trying to keep up?

[Edited by User on 9/22/2009 9:39:41 PM]

Shillelagh said 5 months ago 9/23/2009 12:29:53 AM EDT

*cough* Well, we'll see what happens. Personally, this is what I'm noticing. I'm now much more into the writing groove... it's just that I've started working on class projects and long ponder ideas, and, well...

I'm writing, I'm just not using the word of the day as I do so. ^_^; Maybe I'll try for half of 30 using the remaining days.

MollyCule said 5 months ago 9/23/2009 1:20:10 AM EDT

I tried to keep up, but this market and performances I had last weekend really took it out of me . . . :-( If you're still keen, I'll keep going with the word list but I've just been too exhausted in the few free hours I've had to keep writing.

That said, the first fortnight was brilliant. I just wish I had more hours in the day (or energy to keep going *sigh*)

vespica said 5 months ago 9/23/2009 10:34:58 AM EDT

It sounds like we all got something from the exercise, anyway, even if the timing was not great. I've been sick or had a sick baby almost the whole month, it seems like. Don't worry about the list - maybe we can try again some other time when things slow down. I've really enjoyed it, and for Shillelagh especially, it seems this got the creative juices flowing.

diogenese19348 said 5 months ago 9/23/2009 12:33:20 PM EDT

I've got the next three planned out. Heck might as well continue. Molly, why don't you just complete the list of words now, and we will see what we can do with them. I did make all 30 last year.

vespica said 5 months ago 9/23/2009 10:48:55 PM EDT

Okay, if you keep going, I will.

MollyCule said 5 months ago 9/24/2009 12:45:51 AM EDT

Ok guys, what I'll do is complete the list when I get home tonight (in about eight hours *sigh*). I'll try my best to catch up, and whoever wants to can keep going.

vespica said 5 months ago 9/24/2009 12:25:28 PM EDT

Thanks, Molly. I can hear your exhaustion from here! I hope things get more manageable soon.

I am too lazy to join multiplicity to post a comment, so I'll post it here. I am really enjoying reading your stories, and I love how you've spun it into a coherent narrative. That's so much more challenging, with greater reward as well!

diogenese19348 said 4 months ago 9/27/2009 6:32:33 PM EDT

I'm not sure "coherent" is the right word :D but thanks!

LOVE the Weebles. And I like that Flagon is being open minded about them in their vile gluttony. :)
