It doesn't have to be the typical 'Sherlock Holmes' type mystery, it can also be onimous, where the reader is left in suspense due to mysterious events, or their is a greater mystery at play, or even mysterious legends/animals, it can even be creepy for that matter. As long as the reader has a feeling that makes them clueless about what's to happen, then your doing a good job. It's all up to you guys, as it's your guys' story. Here are the aspects you guys will be judged on:
The deadline will be in exactly 6 days. The judging will be done 1 week from now, and the next round will be revealed the following day. Considering that the cast has gone down a whole bunch, we'll for sure be able create a lot more time without dragging the game out too much.
Hope you guys have fun, good luck and I cannot wait to read the stories!!
Oh also, listen to this song, espicially at 0:56-1:05, it will give you inspiration for sure, it's helped me when I've been writing recently, it brings you into another world. It's pretty awesome, ya should listen to it. :)
So, I have a sketch of what I want to do but haven't had time to finish my outline or start writing. And I've got serious time constraints right now, but I'm going to try to hammer something out in the morning before I'm truly out of pocket through the deadline.
This has been a predictably brutal week. I was in New Jersey until Wednesday and have spent the last two days as well as today moving into an apartment.
I have a good idea though so I'll try to jot something down tonight but it probably won't be super fleshed out.
