Prompt claiming!

[farenmaddox]

Ready, Steady, waiiiiiiiit a minute . . .

 

Now that we have the first-call writers and pinch-hitters for each team in place, it's time to put up the prompts!

 

Before you jump right in, please consider the following:

• Claiming a prompt doesn't mean it's yours and you can start writing immediately: work with the rest of your team to make sure that every writer has a prompt that they can write with. Some people will feel like they can only work with one, some will feel open to multiple prompts. Make sure you specify if you're open to multiple prompt options when you state your preference, and we encourage everyone to be a team player.

• Please also specify if there is any day during the week of August 1st – August 7th that you would definitely NOT be able to post your fic due to prior obligations (school orientation, work project, etc). We want the posting dates to work for everyone as best as possible!

• Your moderators are here to help with solutions if your team gets stuck in communication and can't decide who is taking which prompt. Just ask us if you would like us to step in and help out.

• Once your team is satisfied with which writer is taking which prompt, your moderators will announce the official team roster, and announce which prompts will fall on what days. This is also when we will announce which coach has been assigned to work with you! We will deliver this post on Sunday, July 3rd. This means that your writing period officially begins on Monday, July 4th.

 

Here’s the final team roster

 

TEAM DARK (tentative final prompts)
animangod- #1 (Doomed To Repeat It)
aquarius_galuxy- #2 (Not The Droids)
flypaw - #3 (Honor Among Thieves)
aithilin - #4 (Fools Rush In)
pontasensei - #5 (Fantastic Beasts)
sotongsotong - #6 (20,000 Leagues)
k_n - #7 (The Eleventh Hour)

 

TEAM LIGHT (still under construction)

guety
silverservererror
pokechan
mindlessadri
robinauts 
arisprite
bkaykoii

 
 

OKAY THEN, without further ado, here are this year's prompts!

 

1. Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it (This one is somewhat self-explanatory.)

2.These are not the droids you’re looking for (It’s a funny prompt, but does not necessarily have to be a humor piece.  For those who are looking for a sci-fi orientated prompt!)

3. There is honor among thieves (Go crazy!)

4. Fools rush in where angels fear to tread (This generally implies that someone is a reckless idiot for putting themselves in a situation that anyone could see wasn’t going to be good… except maybe sometimes the ‘fool’ was the only one who could see it was the right thing.)

5. Fantastic beasts and where to find them (Again, go crazy, use any supernatural/fantasy idea you like)

6. Twenty thousand leagues under the sea (This could be fantasy, steampunk, historical, modern, canon, anything!)

7. The Eleventh Hour (The eleventh hour implies that something is happening very last-possible-minute, and usually involves a dire situation with a hero trying to pull everyone out of it.)

..... and GO!

HELLO all! Dark team here!
I do have a family vacation starting 8/6 - so I will have to post before that time!

My prompt of choice is "There is honor among thieves", however, if I had to choose another, I also like "The eleventh hour".

The prompts I absolutely don't want are the droids one, the beasts one, and the sea one. Thank you guys!
