New Born Lee Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 SHIT, this fell apart epically. Sorry Ross. Doing a short story on a whim is so so difficult. I find it impossible to write prose usually, I'm just never convinced that what I'm doing is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
escapist Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 If the first theme was so conviently changed to 'freedom' I could kick us off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicePockets Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Ooh, I just saw this, shame it didn't work out the first time, it's a really good idea. But if you were to do another one now, whether the same theme or different, I'd happily get involved It's my holidays now, I guess I have the time... I like the idea of 'Escape' as a theme, or maybe 'Connection'. Those are just some suggestions if you end up needing them Hey, have you guys ever done one of those "start a story, everyone continues it sentence by sentence/ paragraph by paragraph" things? That could be interesting to do, wonder if one's been done on the boards before... Might be a bit hard to do, seeing as sometimes they're done in a way that you can't see what the above person wrote, but I think we could shape it to fit our forum-y needs Anyone interested? If they are I may start a thread... Sorry, just took over THIS thread with my idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleGunslinger Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 If this is still going on, or could start with the proper motivation, then I'm in. This might not be a good idea to anyone else, but maybe for "Topics" you could just use Muse songs. Like say, first comp. could be a title from Showbiz, then the second comp. would be from Absolution and so on and so forth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could even make it Muse related, and have like, the Adventrues of The trio from Teignmouth or something, baha. Also, count me in for this thread also! Im all up for creative writing. So is the theme still hope? I like ^^ above idea for 'Escape' very muchly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

escapist Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Fanfiction?? Why? I do sort of like the title idea though- why would a non-muser be doing a short story competition on a Muse board? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I like my 'Escape' idea. And NOT because of the song! At all. it actually wasn't. It's just because I had an idea in mind that sort of fitted. Plus it's a cool topic to think about.

escapist Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 But again, why would a non-muser be participating in a short sotry competition on a muse board?? Besides, most song titles are universial for a prompt: I.E. Invincible, Escape, Sunburn, Ruled By Secrecy, Resistance, Uprising, Citizen Erased... You could take any of those and think of it in a non-Muse way if you wanted to... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are I may start a thread... Sorry, just took over THIS thread with my idea I have a short script entitled 'ESCAPE!! ESCAPE!!"... don't think it could successfully be turned into prose, though Or maybe.... Hmmm... Edit: Non-Muse means the non-muse bit of the board. i.e. where people like me, who don't really like Muse that much anymore, post because of the people rather than the band.

Caff Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Fanfiction?? Why? I do sort of like the title idea though- why would a non-muser be doing a short story competition on a Muse board? I think they meant people who post in the non-Muse sections who might not necessarily be that enthusiastic about Muse anymore? I mean, I do still kinda like Muse but I'm not exactly inspired by the idea of using their song titles as a base for a short story. I'd rather just stick to general themes. If I managed to actually take part this is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I managed to actually take part this is. I do see that now, I get it. I think maybe we could... alternate between titles and general themes, maybe? Do 1 title, 2 general, 1 title, etc.. Keep both parties happy? Cos I've got one for Invincible. If I could get us started?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Those Deaf Mutes Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 i'm up for giving it a go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Posted April 14, 2010 Author Share Posted April 14, 2010 Right. who's all actually up for doing this still then? And as an aside, I'd really rather not turn this into a Muse themed thing, purely because I think it'd be gimmicky. Although with that being said, I'm not going to say "no, you can't do that" if the person's won the right to pick the theme from the last round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
