Taming the Muse
Dragging their asses back home one muse at a time
|
|
| Theme: | A weekly writing challenge community |
| About: | Have you ever had your muse run out on you? You're in the middle of a story, and suddenly you realize your lazy muse has gone wandering off in the woods leaving you with a whole lot of white screen? Yeah. So, here's the deal. We're tracking those muses down and dragging them back to our brains whether they want to come or not.
See, we know that writers just need to write, so this community offers awards to writers who drag their muses back week after week and make themselves write. So, if you're interested in hauling your muse's ass back home, read the rules.
| 
| Rules
1. You win awards based on consistently writing good stories. ANYONE can join in ANY TIME, but the more weeks in a row you write, the higher the award you win. If you miss a week or submit a poorly written story, your "run" is stopped. See HERE for details on awards. If you make 30 weeks in a row, you automatically win an award AND join our goddess. They have their own rules HERE
2. All stories must include the prompt for that week, and late stories or stories using a previous prompt do not count! So get your entry timestamped by Saturday midnight !
3. Stories or chapters posted here must be at least 500 words. Co-authored fics must have a minimum of 500 words per author. WIPs (Works in Progress) are welcome, but just give us links to the previous parts!
4. We're open to all fandoms (and original fiction), ratings, and characters, but just to make sure no one gets any surprises, stories MUST have this heading...
Title:
Fandom:
Prompt:
Warnings:
Rating:
Summary:
To the subject line please enter the following line:
Prompt# - PromptText - Title - Author - fandom
5. On Sunday, I will put up a poll for stories from that week. You have one week to VOTE on whether a story meets our standards. No, you don't have to read all the stories; you just need to rate any stories that you did read according to THIS post. Oh, and READERS ARE WELCOME. So, if you didn't write, we still want your feedback and votes
6. Crossposting is shiny, and links are fine.
