Prompts: Question Game
Having a hard time deciding what to write for the evening, Spartans? Fear not! For here, thou may findeth a brainstorming game that can count towards your daily 500.
The game goes like this:
- Anyone can post a question as a reply to this post. The questions should be ones that other writers can answer with their characters—"What was the saddest moment of your life?" or "Your thoughts on chewing gum?" or "Does size matter?" for instance.
- If you're stuck for what to write for the day, or just feel like doing some character exploration, look through the questions and reply to whichever one(s) you want, in-character. Give the character's name (and the work they're from, if you want) in the subject line. You can also answer in narrative form, with a little story or scenario answering the question, or in your own "voice," describing how you think a certain character might answer that question. Or however else you feel like answering—it's up to you!
- Other writers can then reply to the answers, in-character as their characters; out-of-character, prompting the other writer to explain their IC answer or explore something else IC; or however strikes your fancy. Feel free to hop between styles and IC and OOC as much as you want and threadjack as much as you want. This is all about brainstorming and learning your stories and your characters better, and there are no hard-and-fast form rules.
- Thread for as long as you like, answer as many questions as you like, with as many characters as you like, add as many new questions as you like! It's all fair game. Words in here count towards your daily word count.
NOTE: The game's always open! Feel free to tag to it even if there's no campaign live at the time.
NOTE THE SECOND: You can reply to your own questions, if you want.
NOTE THE THIRD: There is a permanent link to this entry on the comm profile.
NOTE THE FOURTH: If you answer a question, you must leave a question. HA. No exceptions. DO IT.
