Valdar and Astralis Posted September 16, 2004 Report Posted September 16, 2004 (edited) The second, Pen is Mightier than the Sword, Writing exchange program. 27/9/2004 The ring has been formed. Please contact me as soon as possible if you wish to change anything THE RING HAS BEEN FORMED! Due date: 1st November LIST OF PARTICIPANTS ..........Tanuchan ...... Orlan ...........Gwai............ Katzaniel ......Wrenwind .............. Alaeha .....cryptomancer ...... Peredhil ........Wyvern ......... Vanessa ...........Valdar .... Gyrfalcon As per the First Writing Exchange. . . 1) Writing Type-Any. You may write a story about a person, with a person, even AS a person. It may not have to be a story, it could be a poem, or freestyle, even. This project is due to run for weeks, if not months. The aim here is to capture the essence of your victi. . .er, subject as closeley as possible. You may, and in fact, are encouraged to speak with your subjects, to clarify details and the like. 2) Organization-Circular closed. The idea behind this, is not to have a free-for-all orgy of stories flying twenty ways at once, with 40 people writing about a single person, 15 on another, and one left all alone. I propose, instead, to do it as so: .........A-->B ......../........\ .......F.........C ........\......../ .........E<--D Where one person gets to write about one other person, who will write about one other person and so on, until the first person is written about. 3) The e-mail adress for participants to email their interests to is valdarsh@hotmail.com. You may choose who you wish to write about, but for the sake of ease of formability, please make this list as flexible as possible. We will try to the best of our abilities to accomadate everyone. If anything arises, we will e-mail you directly. 4) The ring will be formed, on the 23rd of September. The submission date will be 23rd October, so you will have one month to stir up something. 5) Please keep your entries to yourself until the submission date so that we wont have entries dripping all over the caberet room. . .poor Waterlily will have to clean them up, and cleaning makes it slury. Slury hentai plants aren't good, are they? 6) PLEASE NOTE!! If you have previously participated in the Writing Exchange Program but have not submitted your piece, you may not participate in this one. If you complete your piece from last year before the sign up ends, you may re-participate, otherwise need to wait a year. Sorry Edited February 13, 2005 by Valdar and Astralis
Alaeha Posted September 16, 2004 Report Posted September 16, 2004 Weeeeee! *Is very, very, very much in on this one* *Stumbles back toward her bed and faints*
Peredhil Posted September 16, 2004 Report Posted September 16, 2004 Write me in, pair me with anyone. If I don't know them, it's a great excuse to get to know them. Peredhil (I'm supportive) the Polite Ancient
Katzaniel Posted September 16, 2004 Report Posted September 16, 2004 How about if we completed one but it wasn't any good? * signs up with high hopes of doing better this time * Pair me up with anyone but Peredhil, he's too hard to get along with. No, seriously, I'll write about anybody this time round. (Has it really only been a year? I know so many more people now!!) Do we have to email you as well?
Vanessa Posted September 16, 2004 Report Posted September 16, 2004 Oooh! Ooooh! Sign me up! ***looks excited at the chance of meeting other people of The Pen***
Valdar and Astralis Posted September 17, 2004 Author Report Posted September 17, 2004 How about if we completed one but it wasn't any good? * signs up with high hopes of doing better this time * Pair me up with anyone but Peredhil, he's too hard to get along with. No, seriously, I'll write about anybody this time round. (Has it really only been a year? I know so many more people now!!) Do we have to email you as well? Katz-yes, please do email me It's easier to track.
Wyvern Posted September 17, 2004 Report Posted September 17, 2004 Wyvern enters into the Cabaret Room and immediately wanders up to Valdar's new Writing Exchange Program sign-up sheet, pausing for a moment upon arrival and warily glancing left and right. The reptilian Elder hisses to himself sinisterly when he notices that noone is nearby, and begins stealing letters from the names of other people on the list in the hopes of forming his own name without wasting any geld on ink. He has begun to dislodge the 'W' from "Wrenwind" and starts aiming his other hand towards Vanessa's 'V' when the distinct sound of deliberate coughing rings from a distant-yet-nearby Astral plane. The overgrown lizard quickly thinks better of tampering with peoples names, and grumbles to himself as he hesitantly pulls a quill out of his pocket... ;-) OOC: You can count me in.
Gyrfalcon Posted September 17, 2004 Report Posted September 17, 2004 Gyrfalcon smirks in amusement as Wyvern's scheming is foiled once more - which was just as well, as the required 'y' for the greedy lizard's name would have come from Gyrfalcon's own. With a smile, he produced a quill of his own and wrote his name neatly below Wyvern's before tucking the quill back into his Bag of Holding before turning to Wyvern with a grin. "Just remember for this time around, you're not supposed to try to charge people for reading your portions of the Writing Exchange, no matter how numerious or well-written they were. "But Gyr," Wyvern said plantively. "It was a great three for one deal! And for a low, low price to boot!" "Tough luck, Wyv." the half-elf said unsympathetically, though he smiled at the lizard. "It sort of goes against the idea of the Pen." Wyvern muttered something under his breath, along the lines of how the idea of the Pen shouldn't interfere with his schemes. "What was that?" Gyrfalcon asked mildly. "Oh, I fully agree with you Gyr!" Wyvern said quickly, despite the guilty look flashing across his scaly face. Gyrfalcon chuckled as he walked away. "Silly Wyvern."
Yui-chan Posted September 17, 2004 Report Posted September 17, 2004 In the course of the busy day, Yui wanders by Valdar's notice and peers at it with interest... until she reaches the part about having to have completed last year's piece in order to participate. At that point, a blush slowly creeping up her cheeks, she reaches back and draws the cowl of her cloak over her head and turns to wander off, mumbling something about tigertaurs and work queues that are getting more than a year long. I never finished the last one. Sorry. Slackerish, ~Yui
Katzaniel Posted September 17, 2004 Report Posted September 17, 2004 Go on then, finish it! You know plenty more about me now than you did then.
Valdar and Astralis Posted September 23, 2004 Author Report Posted September 23, 2004 Extending deadline by 3 days! BumpBump! NudgeNudge!
Quincunx Posted September 23, 2004 Report Posted September 23, 2004 \!!"--\o_o/((-!-/ (It's going to take far more than three days to find that missing 3 1/2" disk with most of the writing exchange on it, I fear. . .)
Gwaihir Posted September 23, 2004 Report Posted September 23, 2004 Gwai will be standing with Tzim and Yui because he isn't sure whether or not he finished his writing exchange project last time or not.
Valdar and Astralis Posted September 23, 2004 Author Report Posted September 23, 2004 Gwai-yes you finished yours, check out the Library thread for the first WEP
Gwaihir Posted September 24, 2004 Report Posted September 24, 2004 ah well, you can't expect a spacey elf to be too sure. *rubbing his eyes, Gwai adds his name to the list*
cryptomancer Posted September 24, 2004 Report Posted September 24, 2004 Cryptomancer slips silently into the room, looking at those discussing the finer points of the last writing exchange. "This sounds interesting. I would love to take part, if it is not too late to join?"
Valdar and Astralis Posted September 26, 2004 Author Report Posted September 26, 2004 Closing Entries, expect the complete circle within the next day or two! email me as soon as possible if you somehow got ommited.
Valdar and Astralis Posted September 27, 2004 Author Report Posted September 27, 2004 The writing exchange has begun! Go nuts
Vanessa Posted October 4, 2004 Report Posted October 4, 2004 Earlier you said the Writing Exchange would be organised as .........A-->B ......../........\ .......F.........C ........\......../ .........E<--D I was just wondering if that had changed, or if it hadn't how we know what letter each person is...
Valdar and Astralis Posted October 4, 2004 Author Report Posted October 4, 2004 The subject of your exchange is Gyrfalcon, Vanessa Peredhil will be writing about you.
Peredhil Posted October 28, 2004 Report Posted October 28, 2004 Lady Vanessa story is now posted in the Assembly Room (linked via her name in the opening post of this thread.) I hope it meets her approval!
WrenWind Posted October 28, 2004 Report Posted October 28, 2004 (edited) Gwaihir's portrayal is done. Posting it in the Banquet Hall Gwaihir Edited October 31, 2004 by WrenWind
cryptomancer Posted October 31, 2004 Report Posted October 31, 2004 (edited) Posted my attempt for WrenWind here in the banquet room. WOW, *Stares at the many many posts yet to be read* *bows to WrenWind* Many beautiful words Lady Windsong, thank you for sharing them. Edited October 31, 2004 by cryptomancer
Katzaniel Posted October 31, 2004 Report Posted October 31, 2004 I know what I plan to write and that's half the battle for me usually... but mine will probably be late. RL is not offering anything new or unusual, just a whole lot of the same old. Sorry, Alaeha! Sorry, Valdar!
