But also requires a unifying subject to get behind. Oh hey, thanks! I wanted to share that prompt ever since I thought of it. I look forward to seeing what gets shared, especially the music. 16 hours ago, SoulWeaver said: -eye glint- World's end dancehall ROCKETMAN remix - YouTube -watches through 4:35- Do you think you can? If you're really a writer and not some runt running around with a keyboard and mouse, you might be able to. Jokes aside, that was actually really good, did not expect the Hatsune Miku twist, that made me bust out laughing. Thank you for sharing this! And yes, that is entirely viable. I have high hopes for you. 16 hours ago, Acacia Sgt said: Man, even if I had the time, I don't think I could do this one. So many to choose, so lacking in ideas how to convert them into a story... Do you want some help narrowing it down? That's usually the first step to making it easier. And it doesn't need to be a magnum opus; something short and sweet can work just as well if you're worried about the length of it or not having enough time, not to mention it'd probably be a hell of a lot easier to write.

Benice Posted August 7, 2022 Author Share Posted August 7, 2022 Sorry about being so slow to update this thread! Just got back from The Land With No Internet a moment ago, didn't realize that it would take this much time to get to this. As an aside, I'm very excited about this prompt!

SoulWeaver Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 This prompt actually makes me really sad Otts is gone, he did a variation on this idea once and I did a piece on Severa loaded with a bunch of obscurely-added Wowaka references since I know we both love both those things. He would have really liked to join in on the writing end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got a warning and assumed he was banned, then never came back. That's the interpretation I'm going with, at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benice Posted August 8, 2022 Author Share Posted August 8, 2022 I had an idea for my entry, but it's... kinda pushing it, so I wanted to run it by the thread! @indigoasis, I was wondering if you'd consider using multiple songs to be in the spirit of the prompt? I wasn't sure, since it could end up with the songs being the incidental music to the writing as opposed to the inspiration for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's kinda like how stories can have more than just one theme, right? If you're looking to interweave the inspiration from your chosen songs, I don't see why not. It's up to you how you wanna do it, so do what you need to do to get your story the way you want it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was definitely nice to have more activity in the thread, but the dude was an absolute time-bomb and his getting banned would've merely be a matter of time if he didn't peace out. It's probably best the thread learned to survive without him earlier, although given the current pacing, maybe that's not what we've learned at all. If only Bob and Larry where here to tell us what we've learned today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSilentChloey Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 (edited) Interesting... FML. I said I was going to peace out this round but fuck it. I actually wrote something. Title: Blue Skies and A Battle Fandom: Fire Emblem Three Houses Words: 1,020 Entry: Spoiler https://docs.google.com/document/d/10AykeT5uacVNK8bLyapRMIEKfGy6FkkcrDEdhv7buZk/edit?usp=sharing Post Read Notes: Spoiler Welcome to New Game + of Three Houses.

Jotari Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 I will definitely write something. I have an idea tossing around for something original to write, but if I don't get round to it then I have an unpublished piece on the back burner I can submit.

SoulWeaver Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 WAIT I HAVE 5 HOURS WHAT @Benice I might want an extension, work took longer today than it was supposed to then a Mr. Wells commandeered my attention for some time regarding a manuscript he'd written regarding some disembodied heads hailing from the fourth planet in our solar system and the rather disastrous outcomes of their visitation to our fair sphere of habitation so I haven't got more than a page out of my brain. I definitely have a full entry's worth now that I double-checked the lyrics for the song I'm using, I just won't be able to share it here until tomorrow.
