Writing game
*LadyCrimson
reports, August 28, 2007
reports, August 28, 2007'Know why I call her the Mouse?'
'I did rather wonder'
'Not the animal.'
The old man hesitated, then reached and took a sheet of note-paper from a drawer beside him. Standing at his shoulder, David watched him address himself to the paper as if to some formal document; but all he did was to print in pencil the letter M and then, after a space, the letter U, S, E. In the space between the M and the U the wrinkled hand drew, in five or six quick strokes, an O-shaped vulva. Then Breasley glanced dryly back up at David; a wink, the tip of his tongue slipped out like a lizard's. Almost before David had grasped the double meaning the piece of paper was crumpled up. (The Ebony Tower by John Fowles)
David fell in love with the Mouse. Distraction enough to kill the poor little fur ball coming up the road. One should pay attention while driving.
Fowles later wrote: "I have a weasel on my conscience."
Now that we're past the introduction, let's move on to the actual topic of this bit of news:
What? Well, it's easy. I want to propose a wee writing game. I call it that because it's not really a contest (nobody/everybody wins).
Huh? Let me finish. The subject of the game: I want you to write a story (be it fictional prose or narrative poetry... please no journal prose) about a muse/muses/something about a source of inspiration. Not too hard, is it? Well, it'd be easy if it were only that, but there's a small catch: in that story, you have to include another element. A weasel! (No, I'm not mad) Just bare in mind to portray the said animal symbolically (Don't write about how your pet weasel inspires you, please!)
Why? Because I want to see some works with the same subject whose writers are not in it for the free subs they might win. Again, no one wins here. Or, in a way, everyone wins!
And what do I do? Well, you, the writer, just write something along this line, submit your work, link it to me (on my account *LadyCrimson) and I'll feature it. After reading it, I'll also leave a pretty long review of your work (as a reader, not a critic).
Oh, and that's all? Well, no, not really. You, if you participate, have to leave a lengthy comment yourself for every other participant's work. It's a chain of writing and commenting. Wouldn't it be nice to see real criticism on some pieces?
I might participate too
. I hadn't thought about it when coming up with the subject, but it's such challenging goodness that I can't contain myself 
Anyone who likes the idea and wants to participate, feel free to spread the love around dA and push people towards this game!
Other questions:
Is there a date limit for this? No, there isn't at this moment. Maybe when I'll propose a new subject for the game. (if it catches on to the public).
Is it English only? Well, I personally accept works in the following languages: English, Romanian, French and Spanish (my dictionaries at my side). You can even try Latin if it tickles your fancy
. It's a bit racist in that sense. I don't really know any more languages.
But what if somebody writes something in French and I also participate with something in English, let's say; I don't know French, how could I comment on that piece? I'm not mad, as I've said before
. You will be freed of your duties to comment on the work you can't read. Seems only natural.
If there are any other questions, feel free to ask!

Writers, unite!

 reports, 1d 1h agoDaily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you  the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.47 Macabre & Horror [Photomanipulation]`WilderWein77
