Story Fit! =]


Lazzy the Spazzy

1,002 views

Some of you may have heard of Exo-Fat's new RPG Fit Program. Due to its success, I'm starting a similar program for story writing rather than role-playing, named the Story Fit.

 

Each week I will post a new prompt or task of sorts, such as a one-word theme to write a story around, or an idea to incorporate into your work. Other than that, you will have complete freedom with what to write – you can write your story in the Short Stories, Comedies, COT forum, or even in the Epics forum. Once you do, post to that week's blog post with a link to your story. There is no deadline for completing the tasks, unlike with the RPG Fit, so you can take as long as you need to write your story -- you still have to write it though. xD

 

The basic idea here is to improve the writing skills of participants through weekly "exercises". But for members who aren't satisfied just with the prospect of becoming better writers, I will also use a point system similar to Exo-Fat's for extra incentive. You get points for completing the exercises, reviewing other members' stories, or inviting other people to join.

 

If you want to, sign up here and I'll add you to the members list. Happy writing!

Might have to quit this one guys, as I'm kinda busy with schoolwork and all. Thought I'd have time, but, unfortunately, nope.

You don't have to quit, like I said you're not required to do this stuff -- it's just for fun and self-improvement. If you want to work on real life, take your time, but you can stay on the list since it won't hurt you or anything. Since you want to quit though, I'll take you off unless you say otherwise. =]

EDIT2: Awarded one point each to Rassiter, Yukiko, Monday, Rising Moon, and Akai for advertising the Story Fit. This week's exercise will be up in roughly ten minutes.

 

Are we supposed to post here when we advertise? 'Cause I did here.

I say that you can add me to the list. Of course, I might not be fully able to do all of the exercises (Life and time and all that), but I think there's going to be a good number I'll end up participating in. ^_^

Same here, I'd really like to do something like this, but I don't always have the time.

OH! here's a suggestion...perhaps, instead of just filing the story fit stuff under "writing"..could you make a specific tag for it? that way, intead of linking to this specific blog entry, we can allow anyone ho clicks our advertisements to see ALL the story fit challenge blogs in one non-cluttered area?

All right, I've finally got my entry for the project from a couple of weeks ago, the conflict one.

Hopefully, you will all enjoy the ancient setting of... Fate

I'm in. I used to write loads on here but now all I do is an epic chapter once a fortnight or something. I'm in. I might not have time to do all the tasks however.

Hey, a minor suggestion: I think it'd be interesting if we were to incorporate 'vocab words' in the challenge; anywhere from one to a few words that if you use them in the weekly challenge, you get an extra point of extra credit or something like that. This'll help to both teach the writer a new word to add to their vocabulary that they can hopefully use to improve their writing in the future, and teach them skills on how to apply words they've never heard of before, strengthening their application abilities.
