I love the idea of a training arena! I just joined the 100 MicroFic challenge and would love to exercise my short Fic muscle before it starts!

Hello everyone! We are preparing our Round 4 and we think we can extend the group with another one or two persons. Anyone interested now? The rules are as discussed previously: we all receive some prompt every second Friday, we have 24 hours to write something and then we have one week to read the other members stories (and leave some feedback). It is lots of fun! And I, personally have already learned so much.
Come and join the MF250 Sandbox! |

I will PM you, Fae. We had reached limits, but one person is not responding any more. So I guess there is an opening now... :)

If some more people join you in wanting to get going, I'd be happy to share details on how to manage it. I think we've got it set up for minimal overhead, so you and 4-5 others (fewer if you want) can start one at any time. Also, if someone does drop out from our original six and we decide to add someone from a waitlist, I believe you would be first in line on the waitlist. I've lead some book groups before. I would not be surprised if someone had to drop out from a group of six. Life is messy sometimes. One way or another, you'll get a chance to participate in this or something similar at some point.

Hello everyone! Just confirming that the (thing?) we were trying to organise is up and running now. Deschain has organised the Google space, and everyone who expressed an interest here has been contacted. Deschain has also named it NYCM Microfiction Sandbox, which I think is a great name. So it means I will now stop calling it a (thing?). ;)
I guess we are kind of ready to go now. Woohoo!

Just posting to follow this thread! It's such a good idea but a bit busy this time to join in. Hopefully can be a part of the next one. Have fun!

Hello again! That sounds promising. Let's!
Some basic rules (tell me what you think of it):
- 24h 250-word challenge, starting on 11:59PMEST on a Friday (time when the prompt will be posted or emailed or something),
- groups of 4 - 6 authors for each prompt,
- prompts similar to the NYC Midnight prompts,
- each entrant agrees to review all other submissions in their group (so up to 5 other stories),
- reviews to be emailed back to wherever the prompt comes from up to a week later (so 11:59PMEST next Friday),
- reviews will be gathered and grouped and sent to authors (?) that weekend,
- we improve the process and we start again two or three or X weeks later. |
