Could we do this..........?

[perfect_deb]

Hi,

have been told to move this over here so........

I wasn't sure where to post this message so if its in the wrong place dont beat me.

i'm new around here so if this has already been done feel free to ignore me.

I used to belong to a science fiction writers group - it was fantastic but life got in the way

anyways, on the principle that everyone wants to be publised eventually, we had a monthly contest based on the idea that you have to grab the publisher/reader in the first page or so or he/she chucks your manuscript in the trash.

so it goes like this - everyone writes (anonymously) 300 words designed to grab the reader by the balls and have them begging for the rest of the story.

the way we controlled it was that the overall winner of the last 3 contests acted as the honourary administrator - they received the entries and compiled them and as such were the only ones that knew who wrote each entry.

all the entries are posted in one document that can be downloaded by all members who then have 2 weeks to vote - the winner gets a virtual trophy and the applause.

it's great fun - really gets your brain going, and a great cure for writers block i've found - i won the contest twice and turned both entries into fairly readable short stories

We won't beat you. Hurrah! I really hoped it would show up over here. Count me in.

Any authors minded to administer beatings, please forward them to the horse. Thank you.

Nothing stopping you from posting this thread.

For me, I'm much too busy to philander, however. But that's just me. Work, work, work (Hey where's he pizza?

Only a virgin can run it, for your heart is pure and your strength is the strength of ten writers.

 

[glynndah]

I could probably write 300 words.

 

[MagicaPractica]

I'd be interested.

ah grasshopper - if you only knew me better

 

[perfect_deb]

if there is an administrator who wants to jump in...............

 

[perfect_deb]

let the game begin...........

All right - nobody seems to be objecting......

This is a little competition for all you budding authors out there.

Obviously the subject matter is erotica.

You have to write the first 300 or so words to a story. The idea is to grab the reader (or publisher) by the balls and make them want to read on - you know that book you read and as you turn the first page you have a breathless sense of anticipation? Here's your chance to see how good you are.

I’ll collate the entries into one PDF and make it available to download, you then have to vote on each entry and give a little feedback if possible.
At the end of the month I’ll publish the results.

Oh, and by the way, spelling, punctuation and grammar count! That’s something that will get a manuscript rejected immediately.

Ok, here are the rules
Entries
1. All entries must be 300 words – can be less but not more.
2. All entries must be anonymous – no cheating, don’t tell your friends which one is yours!
3. Entries must be received by midnight on the 15th of the month - emailed to me - please include your forum name
4. Everybody who enters MUST vote
5. You must vote by midnight on the last day of the month – that’s my time, can’t be bothered to figure out the rest of the planet!
6. You cannot vote for your own entry – just put “mine” next to your own when your voting.
7. You can only vote once
8. Feed back is appreciated – but must be constructive – no flaming

So, this is the "show up and flirt without actually accomplishing any writing" thread?

Huh - I didn't know ruminants were into that sort of thing.

Sorry, hon. But I've decided, on the grounds of beating being suggested, that this is, indeed, the wrong place to post this. Bend over...

*grabs his flogging flog*

That's right, I said that. My flogging flog. Because what else would you use a flog for, if not for flogging.

The rest of you should have spoken up as well. Punishments all around. The line starts here...

Shang, line up twice.

I already called this as the standard AH thread: ""show up and flirt without actually accomplishing any writing". The flogging should be optional and as an added incentive, perhaps.

Possibly for the floggees. But as for the flogger ...
