CoG Writer's Guild

Doctor Setebos · 10-03-2008, 08:49 AM

Okay, since everyone else is re-starting their old EvAv groups, guilds, and gangs on CoG, I'm up for reviving the Writer's Guild here, as well. Who's in?

In the past we've had sentence starters that have generated some great flash fiction, and I'd like to do more of that since it seems to be the most accessible form of writing for our group. I'd also like to do some more photo fiction, where people can write something based solely on a posted image.

What else? What other kinds of writing projects should we entertain? I'm open to any ideas.

Sentence starters will begin appearing very soon. Hopefully, this statement is met with cheers rather than groans. :rolleyes:

I wish I could still write like I did in high-school, but all I have written in 4 years have been history papers. Not really all that creative.

Khrymsyn · 10-03-2008, 09:56 AM

I used to really dig the sentence starters =)

Kielaran · 10-03-2008, 11:00 AM

Woohoo! I loved reading these before. Maybe I will do more contributing this time around.

shunoshi · 10-03-2008, 04:32 PM

I haven't written in almost 10 years now. Perhaps I'll give it a shot this time around. Reading the sentence starters was always good entertainment.

KingGorilla · 10-03-2008, 04:58 PM

Oh sweet christ yes. And again, rip my articles to shreds, I can take it.

JRR006 · 10-03-2008, 06:28 PM

I didn't participate very much (like, twice maybe) but I always enjoyed reading people's work. The sentence starters were fun! Looking forward to seeing them again.

alienmastermind · 10-03-2008, 08:36 PM

Count me in.

Xerxes · 10-04-2008, 12:22 AM

Good warm up for NaNoWriMo 2008.

VerseD · 10-04-2008, 01:55 AM

I'm in for sure. I'd be all over some Sentence Starters, and I'll try to post some other writing exercises from classes and whatnot as people get into it.

Doctor Setebos · 10-05-2008, 04:28 PM

First sentence starter has been posted. More to follow in the coming days.

Crittias · 10-05-2008, 04:34 PM

In like Flynn.

Spacetronaut · 10-06-2008, 03:07 PM

I'm in. I'll take a crack at the first sentence starter tomorrow.

National Kato · 10-06-2008, 03:12 PM

I'm in as well.

Xerxes · 10-06-2008, 08:26 PM

I'm going to make all my sentence starters game related.

Extra points if they're all about River City Ransom.

You know, that gives me an idea. I should make some of the sentence starters follow specific themes. Maybe one has to be noir style. Another scifi. Another fantasy. Maybe throw in a romance just for fun. Every now and then, one must be set in a video game world of your choosing. That could be entertaining.

That's a great idea. Everyone writing on the same theme would make for good reads.

That'd be awesome. =)
