I know we have a lot of aspiring authors here at Claymaniacs, but it's always a challenge to get activities going on the forum.

I used to run a story group and we had story challenges every month, or every week, whatever we wanted.  Basically what it entails is someone putting forth a challenge that gives the parameters for a story (for example; write a well known story from the point of view of a different character - like Kandise's story about Peter Pan written from Tinkerbell's perspective - or write a story without using the letter R (that's very challenging but funny, by the way). 

One time I was challenged to write a serious, dark story with the cheesy title Sexual Chocolate.  You wouldn't BELIEVE what I came up with.   ROFLMAO

Another challenge I had was to write an all-dialouge story.  Nothing but character dialouge, like a script.  It turned out pretty funny.

Is anyone here interested in short story challenges?  I will be happy to start them!

But only if we have writers who want to participate.

Well ... chime in!

Well, I might give it a try, because..................I have nothing else to do, right?  shrug

Oh, let's just be honest...........I like distractions from RL.   There!  I said it.




Here's my idea.  Write a story substituting smilies for the appropriate words.  Like this:

Today it is 66 degrees in Chicago!  It feels like it is time to start
But by tonight it will start to .
And tomorrow the temperature will drop and it will be again.    And by tomorrow night we will have .
Once again it will be January in Chicago and time to .


(This is a true story.  Only the names have been changed to protect the innocent. Wink)

Ha ha!!   Laughing  Silly Marilyn.  Flattery will get you ... well, anything you want.   Laugh


Frannie - That's a great one!  I love it!  Especially since I'm the well known Claymaniacs   I think that would be a fun one to start out with!  Let's do it.  I'll start a thread.

Everyone please read through the
FanfictionRules

Cinpii had some good questions posted in the Fun Stuff forum.  I'm bringing the questions and my answers here in case anyone else has the same questions.

Quote
- Can the story be about anything?  Any characters at all?  Does it have to be Clay related, or it can be about something/someone else?  (aka: Can it be fanfiction?)

The stories can be about anything, as long as they stay PG and follow the fanfiction rules posted in the Fun Stuff Lounge.  We can do some fun stuff with Clay, and some fun stuff that has nothing to do with Clay.  The story challenges will be varied and FUN.

If you already have stories written, about Clay or anything else, that you'd like to share with us, you're welcome to post them in the Fun Stuff Lounge, just be sure to read the rules first.



Quote
- How long does the story have to be?

That depends on the challenge!   bigsmile  Some will be short, some can be longer.  It just depends on what the challenge is.


Quote
- Are chaptered stories ok, or are we aiming at one shots? 


Chaptered stories are welcome on the Fun Stuff Lounge, and in the Adult Playground as well for NC-17 stories.  Most story challenges will usually call for a shorter story just so that more people will be able to participate.  Chaptered stories are very time consuming for the author, as you probably already know.

So the story challenges will probably be mostly short or one shot stories.  But that doesn't mean you can't post multi-chapter stories on the board.  You certainly can.



Quote
- Is it ok to post our stories in other places?  Or is it exclusively here?

All stories must be posted in the Fun Stuff Lounge except for adult content stories, which can only be posted in the Adult Playground.  You must be 18 to enter the Adult Playground, and if you don't have access to it already you just have to PM an administrator (Pamela, ClayMaine-iac or ILClaymate) to request access.


Please read the fanfiction rules at the link below.  They will answer a lot of questions.

Hi all!  I'm sort of new to this forum.  I enjoy reading and also writing fanfic.  I've tried several times on other boards and have gotten wonderful feedback.  I look forward to writing some more.  With these story challenges, it will allow my mind to flow.  Throw me a challenge and I will produce a story.     hello
