Survivor 26 - should we do it and how could we improve it?

[secretLace]

The title pretty much sums it up. I did survivor 25 as a salute to Boxlicker who did it last time. I wanted to revisit it and see if it was as fun as my memory told me. To a certain extent it was.

But lets look forward and dream about what next year could bring. I'm hosting it next year as well if the site will let me but I'm thinking about how we can change it and what would be a good change. this is where you "all" come in.

How could we improve the concept? The only thing set in stone is that you write stories all year and in the end you get awarded points for your effort. Would gamification and participation be something that would improve the "game" or just distract from it? Maybe both so you could do it either way?

Any ideas?

Glad to hear that @talemestories

Any ideas of whaat you would like to see? Have you looked it over to get a view of what the friendly competition is about?

I have reached out to Manu to see if we can get images turned on for this sub-forum so we can go more graphical. Always nice to have a more graphical UI for the little event

I am seeing it more as a personal challenge to write in many of the categories I might not have tried (other than novel which I will not be taking on yet). I hope to have a few more comments over the next couple of weeks as I probe more deeply.

I am almost certain to complete at least one story in every category this year. One will publish tomorrow and the other three remaining are all at least halfway done. Once those are done I’ll only have two story sparks missing from the Bingo card, so I might even finish that.

I’m planning to do it again next year, but I’m not going to try as hard. Certain categories are just too hard for me to write in.

I did like the bingo card, but even with those bonuses I’m not likely to be able to get any second level points.
