1. Have you ever had to write stories for an assignment? If so, when was the last time you had to?
The last time was when I was doing my English GCSE resit in college.

2. What was the last one about?(if you've had to) If not, do you think you'll have to write a story in the near future?
We were given a set of topics to choose from, I wrote about a guy who'd been cryogenetically frozen after being run over and killed by an uber-rich business man who couldn't cope with the guilt. He wakes up 50 years later to chaos which has been going on for half a century after the milennium bug (wrote this in '99) caused everything to crash and all the criminals got out of jail and formed gangs and such. He ends up killing himself because he can't get his head around what's going on and it's too much for him to cope with. After our teacher marked it she gave us individual feed back, her first word to me when she gave mine was "Wow..."

3. Do you have any ideas in mind just in case you have to write another story?
I have a lot of ideas, it's just finding the time and effort which is the problem. I wont HAVE to write any more stories, but I'd like to some day.

4. How long did your previous assigned story take?
A few hours maybe.

5. Do you have any ideas for me to write about that a first grader would like?
Bob the dog?

6. Do you plan on watching the new South Park episode at 10:00 PM Eastern tonight(if it's past that, did you?)

1. Have you ever had to write stories for an assignment? If so, when was the last time you had to?

No. Thank god. I don't go to pr---school, so I never get dumb assignments like this. However, I do write a lot, I am currently working on the rough draft of my second novel, which I started last fall.


2. What was the last one about?(if you've had to) If not, do you think you'll have to write a story in the near future?

Like I am going to tell you what my novels are about. :rolleyes: And yes, I will write another story once this one is finished.

3. Do you have any ideas in mind just in case you have to write another story?

Of course I do!

4. How long did your previous assigned story take?

They weren't assignments, they were projects. My first novel took me about 14 months to write, this one will be shorter, and I hope toy have it finished by June.

5. Do you have any ideas for me to write about that a first grader would like?

Write a story about a free spirited young kid who is always being punished by his teacher. Then have him/her find a magic item (watch, pencil, stone, you name it) and use it to turn his/her teacher into a (pick one) frog, ant, mosquito, mouse, or earthworm. Wheather you want to save the teacher is up to you.

[Rambunctious Jamirus]

1. Have you ever had to write stories for an assignment? If so, when was the last time you had to?

Yep. Quite a few ones actually. Last one was in February.

2. What was the last one about?(if you've had to) If not, do you think you'll have to write a story in the near future?

The last was to ask our parents about an important and life-changing thing they went through and interpret it after being told it once. I kinda did it because I knew the outline of the story, just not the entire thing...

3. Do you have any ideas in mind just in case you have to write another story?

Yeah, I always have ideas. I'll probably do a story on my new creatures from the Gethi Region, just won't call them Pokemon ^-^

4. How long did your previous assigned story take?

Two weeks because he needed to rush us through it.

5. Do you have any ideas for me to write about that a first grader would like?

You could write about a tiger that escaped the zoo that abused him/her and found happiness with a new family ^-^ Or you could write about a lost dog finding a home and then the people giving him back...I don't know anymore. Most of my ideas are for mature minds nowadays...

6. Do you plan on watching the new South Park episode at 10:00 PM Eastern tonight(if it's past that, did you?)

Nope, I don't watch South Park.

[Silver Ledian]

1. Have you ever had to write stories for an assignment? If so, when was the last time you had to?
Yep, in English! Last time I had to was in early 2003, for English. It always is for English.

2. What was the last one about?(if you've had to) If not, do you think you'll have to write a story in the near future?
Well we normally had to do assignments on stuff like 'Macbeth' and 'Of Mice and Men' and reports on short stories etc. but the last one I made up was probably about me getting a puppy for my birthday. Sounds crap but I got a good mark in it and that's all I was looking really, hehe.

3. Do you have any ideas in mind just in case you have to write another story?
None at all but if I do, then I can normally come up with ideas rather quickly - although it takes time for the good ones to appear in my head.

4. How long did your previous assigned story take?
Probably about 4 hours at the most. I made it really descriptive - as we had to - and tried to insert dialogue and good verbs etc.

5. Do you have any ideas for me to write about that a first grader would like?
Ummmm...a girl called Millie goes out on an adventure to try and find the end of the rainbow. I know, I like it too :)

*Randomness*:
6. Do you plan on watching the new South Park episode at 10:00 PM Eastern tonight(if it's past that, did you?)
Nope. I went through a very short spell of liking South Park, like a year after everyone else of course - typical me. It was funny but it's not something I follow.

1. Have you ever had to write stories for an assignment? If so, when was the last time you had to?
eh...yeah, i guess. probably sometime early on in high school. you don't really have to write stories at college, unless your class is specifically geared towards short-story writing or something...

2. What was the last one about?(if you've had to) If not, do you think you'll have to write a story in the near future?
i honestly don't remember. too long ago.

3. Do you have any ideas in mind just in case you have to write another story?
nah, im not really a story writer. i'm more of a poet if anything.

4. How long did your previous assigned story take?
eh...well i probably did it the night before, since that's my style.

5. Do you have any ideas for me to write about that a first grader would like?
write about rainbows and pots of gold.

*Randomness*:
6. Do you plan on watching the new South Park episode at 10:00 PM Eastern tonight(if it's past that, did you?)
no, i didnt watch it. sorry.

[mr_pikachu]

1. Have you ever had to write stories for an assignment? If so, when was the last time you had to?

Probably when I was in 5th grade. We had to do a lot of things like that in that grade.

2. What was the last one about?(if you've had to) If not, do you think you'll have to write a story in the near future?

I have no idea. I doubt I'll have to write a story in the near future, since I'm not going to be taking any English courses next semester.

3. Do you have any ideas in mind just in case you have to write another story?

Yeah, but none of them would work for a children's story... too violent. :oh:

4. How long did your previous assigned story take?

Probably about 15 minutes.

5. Do you have any ideas for me to write about that a first grader would like?

I'm guessing you have that as an assignment. Um... it depends on the kid. If it's a boy, go for something with sports, if you can. If it's a girl, simple romance always works. But above all, keep it simple. Little kids don't have the kind of attention span that we do.

6. Do you plan on watching the new South Park episode at 10:00 PM Eastern tonight(if it's past that, did you?)

Nope, not a South Park fan.

I am a big Star Wars fan.

One night.

5. Do you have any ideas for me to write about that a first grader would like?

I like tropical island stories.

[gomez]

1. It's been the longest time since I've had to write a story. I'm thinking around September in my freshman english lit class.

2. It was about when me and my buddies got together and drank/smoked ourselves silly one night (the prof told us she didn't care what it was about or the content).

3. No.

4. I wrote the morning it was due...so about fifteen to twenty minutes.

5. I'm willing to send you a copy of my story. It was...interesting.

6. I watch South Park all of the time. I think I might have seen the one you are talking about. I just noticed the date tag on the original post.
