The general idea is that whoever wants to participate in writing a short story will sign up here. The length of the story to be determined, but not super long.

Then when we have all the people:

Each person submits a title for a story for a different person, either randomly or for someone specific, not sure which yet.

Each person will then have to write a story based on the title they've been given.

In addition, there will be 3 "items" that will have to be included somewhere in the story. Random things, specific people, a certain location, a type of animal, a sound, even just a word, etc. These would also be chosen by another player, but I'm thinking a different one than the person who chose the title.

And then after the writing period is done (I'd want to say no longer than two weeks, but we'll see), they would be posted here for all to enjoy.

The idea was formed in the NaNoWriMo 2020 thread that Rose made.

Would there be much interest in doing something like this?

When you sign up, please send one story title to me via PM that will randomly be assigned to another person.

As well as a title, please submit 3 things you'd like to see included in someone else's story. These can be anything you want.

Sign-ups will remain open until sometime on Sunday afternoon.

I'm talking like short, I wouldn't want it to be like homework or anything. lol

is 500 words too little? Because that's what I'm thinking of capping it at. Either that, or having a range where people can pick whichever they feel most comfortable with. Like minimum 250 words to a maximum of 1000?

Sign up Here. Add your name to the list:

When you sign up, please send one story title to me via PM that will randomly be assigned to another person when the writing period begins.

As well as a title, please submit 3 things you'd like to see included in someone else's story. These can be anything you want, ie. an animal, a specific person or place, a certain situation, a sound, even just a silly word. Like the story title, these will also be assigned randomly to another writer. Ideally, I'll figure out a way to make sure that each person's submissions go to two different players to make it more fun.

Then once the writing period opens (I'm thinking about 2 weeks, but we can go longer, I would prefer if we didn't go over a month to write a silly little story that's only meant for fun and entertainment).

So the challenge would be then to write a story between 250 and 1000 words, whatever you feel comfortable with, and should be based on the title you've been given and must include the list of 3 things that were also assigned to you.

And that's it. It's just a fun, silly game to pass some time and a chance to be creative and entertaining that we can all enjoy reading once they're posted publicly at the end of the writing period.

These are the people who've said yes in some way.

The others who have expressed interest, please add your name to the list when you're ready if that's the way you've decided to go. :P

I've got title submissions and items from two participants. Keep them coming.

send a story title and 3 things you want to see in a story to me, if you're in.

Happy Halloween peeps.

If you want to participate in this, just send me the requirements by tomorrow afternoon. No hard deadline.

I've got about 6 currently.

Last call for submissions/participants. I'll close this up sometime later today.

We've got 7 so far. That will be 7 fun stories to read, at the very least.

Sign-ups are now closed.

You will receive your writing assignments sometime tomorrow. Possibly late tonight if I get to it.

possibly a little bit later.

okay, incoming.

Alright, you should all have your assignments.

The "rules":

1. Write a short story based on the title you've received that was submitted by a different person
2. The story must be between 250 and 1000 words.
3. The story must also include the three things you've received that were submitted by a different different person. :P
4. Deadline for submissions (PM them to me when you're done) will be two weeks from tomorrow, so officially let's say Monday November 16 at 8:00PM EST.

Good luck, have fun.

I finished my story lol
