So I was hoping that we could maybe spice it up a bit, give it a little bit of flair. Looking at the Creative Corner, I see one thing in particular that is rather disturbing; this is the only section that does not have some sort of competition, to engage the people that browse/use this forum.
That is, obviously, a problem.
Given the amount of active people in this part of the site, I realize that it won't be a very large competition; hell, there may not even be anyone that signs up. But, for the sake of trying, why don't we go with something set up a little bit like this:
There are separate genres to choose from. From there, we divide the people that signed up for each genre, and place them into a little 'write-off'. Obviously, we'll have to do this SOTW style; if you entered a work for ANY of the genres you MUST vote for the winner in each genre. Because I can see this getting tedious, there will only be four genres chosen per week. This is, obviously, only for the first week.
Next week, we can choose a prompt, such as 'Turquoise'. Turquoise would have to appear in or inspire the piece in some way, or the entry won't be accepted. If it's merely an inspiration, the work must be posted with an explanation of how exactly the word inspired the piece.
As of this moment this is just an idea, but I'm hoping that someone will pick this up, and we can get ourselves a little competition going.
Participants for Week 1
Due date: April 12th
Genres: Mystery, Fantasy, Romance, Comedy
All entries are to be PM'ed to me.
I'm still organizing this, you may have to bear with me for the first couple of weeks.
