Hey guys, Mad_Cowboy here. I've had an idea for a writing game that would involve the entire /r/promptoftheday community if they wanted to be involved. Basically, it's a story we all write together, 1 week, 1 person and 200-300 words at a time with a new prompt for each week.
How it works is everyone who signs up (if we do this there will be a signup post a few weeks prior) will be rostered on to write on a certain week (this roster will be public knowledge, so if you do sign up and can't do that week then let us know and we'll change it). The first person to write will do so on a prompt written by the Moderators, (note: all the prompts must be vague, as we don't want to restrict the story to a specific storyline) and that person will have one week in which to write a 200-300 word short story with an open ending for the next writer to continue.
During that week, we can all suggest prompts for the next instalment of the story, and the prompt with the most upvotes at the end of the week will be the prompt used for the next week.
If someone doesn't finish there story in time, the mods will message them and they will have 2 days to send in their story otherwise the next scheduled writer will start from where the previous instalment left off, and the game will continue.
There will be 3 day breaks in between each instalment, to both give us time in case someone doesn't finish their story and to give the next writer time to familiarize him/herself with the story so far.
This will continue for an unknown period of time (probably until the story gets too old), and then if there's enough interest we will start another one.
So what are your thoughts on this idea, is it good or is it bad? If it's bad, what would you change in order to make it good? We're looking for your feedback here, it is after all, your community, we're just the guys who try to keep it running smoothly.
Also, just a quick reminder. If you want to know anything about /r/promptoftheday please, message the moderators, we'd be glad to help, same if there's anything you'd like to see us do in the future. It's your community, so you should influence what it's like.
