Writers' Practice Thread (Monthly Practice Prompts/Write Your Butt Off)

Recommended Posts

So the WYBO thread died... but I wanted to make a solid prompt writing list for writers to practice and get to know your characters and what sort of situations that you can make use of to help improve your writing.

 

This has no deadline, but is open to post in when you're up to writing.  The only real rule is keep what's written in line with SF's posting rules.

 

This is a more casual thread for us to just write and practice writing.

 

The theme for this month is AUs, or Alternative Universes.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask, and I'll do my best to answer them.

Y'know, something a little looser and more non-competitive might have a good chance of getting some more attention. It has new thread smell, which helps too. Alas, now that Soul's on mission I do lose some of the fun of making FE fanfiction where wizards and conspiracy theorists travel from one dimension to another.

This is awesome; something more laid back like this is a great idea. I think the lack of a deadline can definitely help give ideas the time they need to grow and flourish, so there's a nice lack of pressure. I'll be looking forward to how this works out.

It's good to see the writing thread continue in some way. That said, not sure if I can be any less inactive here as in the previous one. Ah well.

Like I said this is meant to be more casual, so we're going to end up with something for us, hell I might even have something... which I have been struggling with for the last while because I have been working on some major projects that have kind of been taking a lot of time on my end.

 

Have a short and sweet thing that I may or may not add to...:

Now to go back to the major written works...

In keeping with the theme of this month's theme of AU's I will summarise a rated M+ AU.  Spoilers will provide the link to the work, but other than that, let's get the summary on the road:

In an alternate Ylisse that Lucina landed in, when she travelled back in time to stop the awakening of Grima, instead of Robin being Grima's vessel, the Fell Dragon is very much in his own body, trapped with a tower, his power controlled by the Grimleal who treat him little better than one trapped within a guilded cage. Can Lucina with the help of Robin free Grima to live out his own life and save the world on the side?

Pre read story notes:

Grima is not the bad guy in this AU, unlike Awakening, this story completely breaks the Awakening story formula, as well as some cute little details for those who know what to look for.

 

The Story Link:

So please enjoy this AU.

Oh my where does the time go?  Well here's the theme for September:
Friendship.

 

Remember is a more casual thing, and I would also like to extend an invitation to the Writer's Guild over on discord for anyone who is interested in connecting with other writers, link below:

I hope to see you there!

Yeah, really has flown by. Sorry. I am actually a big fan of this theme, so we'll see what inspiration hits.

Before I click, could you provide some additional details about the server? That could also be helpful for others considering joining.

Sure absolutely no problems at all!

 

The Writer's Guild is a chill community of writers who come to talk about writing, give each other feedback and share our written works.  We're really big on being supportive with one another through the dreaded writer's block and creative endeavours in general.

 

I've been wanting to build a writer's community for ages, so there's that too.

I'd say, it's tempting, but I won't deny I have enough stage fright to join such a group.

That's okay, like I said the group is totally chill, and it's up to people if they want to join or not, I wanted to share in case people wanted to.

And there's an event for interested parties:

And I really need to get on with my written work for this month!

I wrote something to get my writing chops back. It doesn't have any particular theme, just something to kinda get back into the swing of things.

Nice!

 

Just a suggestion, try to space it out a bit, because the writing looks a little bit full for the eye to follow, putting in a bit more of a gap between paragraphs would make it an easier read.

 

Other than that looks really good so far!

Down to the wire with this one, but I finally got the fic finished, it's mildly rated M for the small scene where MC gets threatened, you can skip that entire part and the rest of the story falls into PG easily:

Ah, I forgot about this. Even recently thought an idea that would've fit... maybe. Ah well, I was more focused on finishing the latest chapter of my Engage fanfic, and I still am. I'm overdue for that, I feel.

Like I've said before this is a more casual affair, so it really is up to when you feel is right to post a fic that fits any of the themes in this thread.  Essentially there's no due date, unless you wanted the fic out by a certain time.
