• 300 word Story event!

    by
    I've been trying to think of a good event for both people that don't like fanfiction, and those that do.  Unfortunately, I can't think of anything!

    So Cereal Velocity thought of a 300 word story event (like the 3 sentence one from before, but more in depth).  Sure it's still Fanfiction, but at least it's easier for those of us that don't like to write.  The 3 sentence one was really successful, and that was back when the blog was only getting 20k views a day, so maybe this one will have enough support at this point? I'm not expecting 100 entries like the other one, but 20 or so would be neat.

    Here is an example of what 300 words looks like at 12pt font and junk, google docs defaults in other words.
    ------
    The Birds and the Bees
    Description: Scootaloo asks Rainbow Dash what a "Wingboner" is.  
    Normal, Rainbow Dash, Scootaloo
    (Cereal Velocity's entry)
    ------

    The rules are the same as always, no p0rn, fetish, ect. I'm going to be pretty lax (Now is your chance Taco Whiz!) on this too so those of you that just want to test the waters of writing don't need to worry about being rejected.  These stories won't receive their own story posts, but they will all be posted here in the same format as the one above.  Meaning I still need descriptions/tag/docs or deviant art format.

    Email everything to [email protected] as always.  Be sure to label it as EVENT.

      "no p0rn, fetish, ect."
      DARN. I was so close~


      Kidding (sorta). I might write up something for this, but if it ends at 11pm when you post them up, then I probably won't be able to. Gonna be busy in just a bit, and then sleep shortly after that. Assuming my best case.

      The stories still go to Google docs when we're ready to share, right?

      @Retl

      I start posting at 11, it doesn't end at 11.

      But yah, Google docs is what I'll post them here as. Or Deviant art if that's your preferred method

      this sounds great. i might join in on this.
      and the wingboner story needs to be a full story, it wasnt nearly as awkward as i want it to be.

      So, do unicorn horns spark when excited?

      Damn, someone already did the wingboner.

      Anyways, I think I'll actually write something for this.

      So does this have to be a completely original story, or we spin off of another? I think I have an idea...

      I did such a good job at shortening my story, that it is now 676 words long!

      This is a very good idea. Just wondering if you were inspired to do this by those gryphon stories from a while back? Those were fun :]
      Now... to write or not to write...

      Nah, I was inspired by a thing that NPR ran a while back. It was similar to this.

      Sent mine in earlier. Hope ya got it.
      Well, that was pretty fun. Got to practice subtext in writing, which is something I really needed to practice in my writing. Are we allowed to do more than one or is the one just it?
