Make me a story!
Sep. 19th, 2007 06:56 pmOkay guys. So. I need to write a short story by October tenth (yes, now there's a deadline) and therefore I need your help. The first thing you can do to help me is provide me with a list of (not necessarily related) stuff. If you have a moment, leave a comment with:
Who - a character name/type/profession/nationality/gender/etc.
Want - something that a character could want/desire
What - an object of any sort
When - a time of day/a season/a specific year
Where - a physical, nonphysical, or metaphysical location
So here's an example:
Who - an anthropologist
Want - to become a schoolteacher
What - an old house
When - summer
Where - Missouri
Feel free to be much more detailed. When a sufficient number have responded, I'll create a poll with Who, Want, What, When, and Where as the questions, and your answers as the options. Then people can vote, and the results will determine my short story! I will honestly write a story about whatever the poll results dictate.*
*While I will write the story, and post it for your edification, I cannot guarantee that the story will end up being the story that I submit for workshopping in my writing class. There's too big of a chance that this exercise will spur me to write something I feel is completely different but infinitely better. But I promise that it will be written. I think that's pretty good, all things considered.
