NicePockets Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 I agree. I just 'Escape' is a cool theme for a story writing thing anyway, without the muse connotations If people really want to write Muse related stories, they could set up a different competition? Like a fan fic one, or not fan fic Just an idea... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
escapist Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 By song titles I didn't mean fanfic, I just meant using something a little Muse-inclusive. I find that having set music to listen to helps me a lot, even when the story turns out completely unrelated. I would actually like to organize this, if nobody else wants to. So, how are we doing it? Just prompts? Anonymous posts? I was thinking I could set a prompt (if we don't want story titles, I have a book full of prompts so I could use that. ) and then... one person writes for it, or a bunch of people? and then we... vote? by PM? Ideas?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicePockets Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Hey, if you want to organise it you should! I'm excited This is actually a shameless thread bump to tell everyone to go read our group story on the thread I made- it's coming along really well, I think it's quite exciting, so if you guys wanna come over and read it, or even join in once you've read what we have so far, that'd be awesome! Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanlena Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 I actually wanna join, but the date is gone though, but I like it better when it's a Muse related competition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superimposition Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 ^ Oh come on! It's not that I hate Muse, but it's just... You know. Okaay, I'm a terrible writer when it comes to fanfic. Are you happy now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would you hate Muse? You are here. Indeed fanfiction is difficult to write, only I practised... Only I"m not joining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingardium LevioSIA Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 I wouldn't mind doing something Muse-related, but only loosely. And if most people don't want to do anything Muse-related, I'm fine with that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
escapist Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Yeah, so... am I organizer? Any ideas as to when/how we start? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanlena Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 I'd love to join, only between all those older people, whose English is their mother tongue, I suck. I don't really care if it i Muse related or not Muse related... You have to look who joins first, if there are only 1 or 2 then you probably have to wait with starting.

NicePockets Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Yeah, so... am I organizer? Any ideas as to when/how we start? Let's pick 'Escape' as the theme then, cause that can apply to both Muse and non Muse-y stories plus I already have an idea for that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanlena Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 (...) I speak Swiss German, German, English, French. Cool! You must be German. -looking- Nope you're Switzerlandish xD Ok, I don't follow it anymore, what is this conversation actually about, what theme? Just a song as a theme and then make a Stand Alone outta it? That's not really difficult... iif you have a nice theme of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanlena Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Maybe someone should open a new thread. Write down who is joining, dump the theme, I don't care, we could do a main theme or a song. And then give people the time to hand it in, so we can start yay, I am actually pretty evil though. I am here for a few days, and now I'm already being weird here...

*OoS* Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Themes are really broad/vague, aren't they? I'll do this, if I can use what I just submitted for my creative writing module at uni? Quite proud of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ButterflyPyromaniac Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Oooh, this sounds good. I'll get out my old 3-minute script I wrote in the 1st year and make it into a story. It'll have to be changed quite a bit, but it still fits with the theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tokamak Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Word limit: I say we shall cap it off at 1,500 words with 250 word wiggle room, just in case you go over. And nothing less than 500 words. Wouldn't that just mean a 1750 word limit? Just saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
