I have an awesome idea for a short story.  It's been in my head for a couple of weeks now.  My thing is that I'm afraid somebody will steal my idea abd actually get rich from it.  Of course, it's not doing anybody any good stored in my head, either.

I'd love to see you do a funny fan-fic on Star Wars!

I would take part depending on what the topic is we can write about. It would also be interesting to see what other people could produce. I think its a good idea. It would just take some coordination and effort.



It sounds like a lot of fun to me and I'd totally participate if it actually happens. I'm not even that particularly interested in the prize I think just having people critique my short stories would be fun. Please be gentle if this happens :)



Well, this thread got me interested to write. I am not really interested in the prize, but I would be willing to post it if anyone is intereted, just to get things started. I wrote it on something that has recently come to my attention about video games in general.



hmm I was kinda hoping for a bit more interest than this lol oh well. DO you guys think it's worth running or should I just forget about the idea?

Do it! You don't really need to have a prize if there isn't enough interest to warrant one, but this is a really fun idea. Even if it was just a weekly thread where you decide the theme I think it'd be a good idea.

yea maybe I will just run a fortnightly (gives people time to write) thread and maybe pick the top 5 and making a poll so people can vote for their favourite just for bragging rights lol. 

So now I just got to decide on what the first theme will be lol.

I'm a terrible writer but I'm actually interested in this.



Pixel Art can be fun.

How long would this short story be? I once got an A in History for ruining an essay about "Being a French Peasent in the Middle Ages" and "How would you communicate with eachother? How would you get supplied? etc." into a manifesto on how I would take over Western Europe as a French Peasent.

 

And I could help judge, I don't give good rating out like candy unless it's something I really like.

I write creepy pasta's. It also depends on the quality of grammar. If you don't mind your brains melting from poor grammar then I'm good to go.



Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.
