THE LIT LIST: Issue No. 31

`ATrue:iconATrue: reports, July 4
This weekly newsletter lists the literature activities being hosted all over DeviantArt.

This list was created to encourage deviants to participate in the literature community. All the activities listed are ones in which deviants can participate: everything from prompts and contests to chat rooms, special events, and volunteer opportunities are listed here. The Lit List makes it faster and easier for you to participate in the dA lit community.

The excuse most commonly used by deviants for only participating a little is time: "I like the concepts for several prompts and contests," they say, "but I only have time to write one piece." Well, why not challenge yourself by writing one piece that incorporates more than one theme? As a bonus, if you write one piece for more than one prompt, I will feature it on next Lit List; you just need to note me!

This issue features:

:bulletblue: New group ~TheCritiqueBox, ~OnceUponATimeClub, and *helping-the-unknown.
:bulletblue: New contests from ~TheCritiqueBox, *Prompt-A-Day, =SeptemberBreeze, and *Rhyme-and-Reason.
:bulletblue: New prompts from *Prompt-A-Day, *writeaway, =versebyverse, *simplypoetry, :devdistinctpoetry, ~distinctprose, ~OnceUponATimeClub, *WickedlyLoquacious, ~fiftywordfiction and =RawEm0tion.
:bulletblue: New category: VOTE. This category will include only new polls added after today that are very lit specific, such as voting for contest winners or on changes to the lit community.
:bulletblue: The Summer Haikuathon from =Iscariot-Priest.

100 Picture Themed Challenge for Writers

~pillywiggin:iconpillywiggin: reports, August 27, 2007
Deviant art isn't just for artists. There are many writers out there, and now, here's something for all of you.

The infamous 100 picutre challenge has been revamped for all the writers out there.

The rules are simple.

1) Make 100 stories, each story based on a theme. (One good list can be found at this [link] ) Each story should have ONE and only ONE theme to it, for it to count.

2) There is no time limit, so have fun.

3) You may use whatever writing document you choose. Total word count for each story should be mentioned in the comments, or a journal. Set a personal word limit. Short stories generally run anywhere from 3,000-40,000 words. Don't worry if it's less than 3,000 words. It can be as long (or short) as you'd like to make it.

3-A) All stories should be original works. You may not edit old stories you've written, or others have written, or break any other rules set out in the DA etiquette policy. Your stories can be anything from satire and comedy to great literary pieces. Just have fun with it.

4) The list below is to be placed somewhere in your journal for others to see that......
-A) You are participating in the challenge.
-B) What you have completed.

5) Make sure to update this list and check off what is done and make a link to the story.

6) In the comments for your story, note if it is part of the list and what ONE theme it is, as well as the total word count. And because we're writers, if the connection to the theme isn't obvious, do explain how you used to the theme in the associated story.

7) These stories can be any genre, a mix of many, or each a seperate one. Don't feel restricted to using only one genre for all 100 stories.

Let your fingers fly, writers, and enjoy the 100 Story Challenge!

It's a good way to kill time and improve your skills, but personally I find it too time and energy consuming; too tiring (100 stories with a limit of 3,000 words per story... that's a bit too much for my taste -- lazy kid, I know). And I'm not much of a fan of predefined themes either -- a good idea nonetheless.

~pillywiggin:iconpillywiggin: Aug 27, 2007, 6:30:39 PM
Mm, I don't think of them as themes so much as word promts. For example, my idea for "dark" has more to do with a gothic club scene than the actual element dark.

And it doesn't have to be 3k. That's just an average short story size. Not to mention that you can do it only when you want to. There's no time limit. Hell, if you wanted, you could spend years working on it.

It's just for fun. And, as you said, has the added bonus of improving your skills. Also, I few it as a chance to write things I normally wouldn't write. Like romance, sci-fi, and maybe even a historical fiction. Its a great way to broaden the horizons as well as kill time.

It seems like lots of fun, mya! :D Can we do collaborations with other writers, like ~Shadow-Mage-Luna-oneesama? She's my best friend and she's obsessed with lyrical poetry and foreign stories. :P

Well, keep in mind that it doesn't have to be 3,000. You don't even have to use the words as themes. Already several have served more as prompts than anything else. Besides, some of those would be very difficult to turn into stories, short or otherwise.

"No. I'd be too sad. I mean, it's still YOU."

"And feed you what? People?"
