G'day everyone!
Well, we had such a good turnout for our inaugural Writing Sprint in August - not to mention a lot of fun - that we've decided to have another one (it's long overdue!). The next TPM Fanfic Writing Sprint is scheduled to take place over the weekend of the 22nd and 23rd of November; that is, this coming Saturday and Sunday.
For those of you who competed last time, you'll know how this works. For those who didn't, it's quick, simple and really quite enjoyable. The Sprint is a chance for any writer to write as much as they can on a given subject in the space of a weekend.
The entries are all posted in the same thread (this one), and aside from the theme, which will be revealed at the beginning of the sprint, there are no conditions on the pieces of writing. That means you can submit anything you want: poems, lyrics, screenplays, short stories, scripts, academic essays, full novels (^_^), streams of consciousness, mere dot-points of ideas and notes - basically anything, of any length, in any format.
You can post your efforts as soon as you write them, and edit them or add to them at any point during the Sprint until it closes on Sunday night.
There's no pressure to complete anything or unveil a grand piece of work at the end of the weekend, because none of the entries will be judged. This is just a chance for us to have some fun, enjoy some free-spirited writing and see where our minds take us!
To sign up for the Sprint, just post in this thread expressing your intention to participate next weekend; there's no obligation if you end up being too busy, so go ahead and have a crack!
With that in mind, I intend to participate in the Sprint myself! Hopefully you will too!
Cheers!
