Sweetcherrie Posted August 13, 2006 Report Posted August 13, 2006 This challenge is based on the ring writing done for stories in the past by lilValdar. Basically you sign up here in this thread. Those people that have signed up will be organised into a circle, and clockwise you will write a poem about the next person in the ring. If you’re signing up with a character please mention which character you sign up with. I’ll leave sign up open for a week, and next weekend I will announce the circle Oh, and I'm in with Sweetcherrie
Tanuchan Posted August 13, 2006 Report Posted August 13, 2006 (edited) I'm in. Great idea, Sweet - thank you for thinking of it! It's indifferent for me if you write about "me" (if you know me ) or about Tanny - the character . Edited August 13, 2006 by Tanuchan
cryptomancer Posted September 12, 2006 Report Posted September 12, 2006 I'm in, sorry it took me so long to find this, I still getting up to date with things I missed. But yeah, I in. *looks around at AAA members* you all gonna try too, aren't you?
Mynx Posted September 12, 2006 Report Posted September 12, 2006 *looks around to see who Crypt is staring at* Why not I'll give it a shot
Mardrax Posted September 12, 2006 Report Posted September 12, 2006 I might not be a member, or know most of you as well as I'd like to, but I'll give it a shot too
Mardrax Posted September 16, 2006 Report Posted September 16, 2006 if sweet's organising it? I don't think so... She is... preoccupied for a while it seems
Sweetcherrie Posted September 17, 2006 Author Report Posted September 17, 2006 I had left this alone for a bit since only Tanny had shown interest, and no matter how much I love her poetry...a ring with two people is a bit small. This is still open for sign-up. Am currently on holiday, and Gyr is here as well, so time is being diverted largely into other things. But I will come back to this. Until that time, feel free to sign up for it
Zepheri Posted September 17, 2006 Report Posted September 17, 2006 I would like to try it out... I don't know all of you, and you don't me, but I thik it will be fun. Do you think it would be helpful if we gave a bit of info on our selfs first Sweetcherrie? That way we can help out with the writing.... just a thought... I would like to sign in with my character Zepheri... if that is ok...
Sweetcherrie Posted November 27, 2006 Author Report Posted November 27, 2006 Are people still up for this? Cause I'm still willing to organize it
Katzaniel Posted November 27, 2006 Report Posted November 27, 2006 Oh, why not. Count me in, as well. PS. Your pick of my characters: Katzaniel, Horace, and Inbi Infusco to name the most commonly used.
Zepheri Posted November 27, 2006 Report Posted November 27, 2006 Of course I'm still in...A demon never goes back on her word.
Sweetcherrie Posted November 28, 2006 Author Report Posted November 28, 2006 Weehoo cool! Sooo…I’ve sorta mixed up the names and out this came. (I actually made notes with the names and pulled them out one by one ) Below you will find the ring, and we’ll work clockwards. .......................................Mynx ....................Wrenwind.................Zepheri ......Sweetcherrie..................................Cryptomancer ...................Tanuchan...................Mardrax ....................................Katzaniel So Mynx writes a poem about Zepheri, Zepheri about Cryptomancer, and so on, until we finish the circle with Wrenwind writing about Mynx. Afterwards the poems can be posted in this thread I’ll put about 2 weeks for this, but remember the main object of this whole thing is simply to have fun while writing
Sweetcherrie Posted December 12, 2006 Author Report Posted December 12, 2006 Wrenwind Her satin touch Feeds a storm Of sensual whispers And passionate rage Her amethyst mirrors Reflect a soul Kinder than many And wiser than most Her eloquent words Provide a sense, Of direction and meaning And inspire those in need. Through darkness and light Through sad times and worse Through happiness and laughter She is and always will be, A little gem. Still not entirely happy with it, but I can always come back for little fixes later
Katzaniel Posted December 26, 2006 Report Posted December 26, 2006 Just posting here to say that I have the first draft of a poem for Tanuchan that still needs a lot of work. And, for Mardrax: If you want to write about my main character (half human and half tiger), there's a wealth of information about her - perhaps too much. It's a bit of a confusing character... she's currently much different from her first appearance and even her overall description, so you'd have to read a good part of this and I'd still probably have to PM you a new description. I do have that description already written, but like I said, this might be waaay more than you want to get into. If you want to do Katzaniel, I recommend you do her before Homeward Bound took place (in which case you can just use the description as it's written) or ignore her previous incarnations and just do Aniel (I'd still have to send you that PM), or let me write up a summary for you. But keep in mind that there's also Inbi (a young female ice and fire mage who spent much of her life stealing for food) and Horace (a completely unintelligent demoness who can't find her way back to the underworld). I'm trying to use these two more often in my writing, anyway. I recommend you just grab whichever of those two sounds more interesting and then go with it. Unless you've already started... in which case I'm very sorry that I didn't post all of this sooner.
Mardrax Posted December 27, 2006 Report Posted December 27, 2006 I haven't started on it yet, though I've been promising myself I would for quite some time now. Doesn't look like I will to after New Year's though. Will be tied up in partying until the 2nd. In the meantime though, feel free to PM me anything you might want to, because I really haven't decided yet on which character I would base it on. I seem to like biting off more than I can seem to chew though Also, Tani, I think I'd need to give you just about the same as Katz gave me If you want a more detailed description about the character I'm using than the few rather hazy bits he's let go about himself up to now, I'd be happy to PM you what thoughts I have.
WrenWind Posted January 22, 2007 Report Posted January 22, 2007 Well it is a start and for some reason haiku seemed appropriate i will try to add a few more to complete the story in my head. Mynx A swift feline grace Soft,silent ,relentless pace. Determined beauty
Tanuchan Posted February 11, 2007 Report Posted February 11, 2007 (edited) Sorry for the time taken... RL has been rather nasty on the 'time' aspect. It's rather hastily written, and I hope Sweet forgives me any inaccuracies - I've based it on her Piazza description. If you feel there anything that doesn't fit, please do talk to me. A somewhat unhappy wolf pads in, an apologetic smile in her face as she pins a parchment below the notice of the Ring formation. Mumbling about the need of devices to stretch time just a bit more, she spends some extra minutes to channel some earth threads into the written poem, assuring that it becomes permeated with the soft smell of young leaves and spring rain. Giving herself a shake, Tanny sighs and darts off for duties elsewhere. SWEETCHERRIE Followed by fire with fire within, walking on the Keep curious to learn. A rational mind on passional heart, a magic that comes in guises unexpected - confusion that spreads upon suffering machines. A writer of tales, organizer and manager, grips the business but hardly emotions... ages in the future ages in the past sometimes there's escape in the heart of a little girl. Sweet as her name cherry-colored flame a heart given to ideals and friends. Edited February 11, 2007 by Tanuchan
