We've got another scant week of fresh crops, so I'm taking it upon myself to assign some completely voluntary homework:
Writers: Your assignment this week is to open up one of your WIPs and write seven new sentences. Not edit seven sentences. It's far too easy to open up a document, make a few edits, and call it writing. Particularly if you're stuck in the mire of writer's block. But write seven, whole, brand new to the story sentences.
If you don't have any WIPs, then challenge yourself and try to write a Seven Sentence Story. Challenge yourself to see what you can convey in a limited space. See how far you can really stretch one sentence by making it a run-on to end all run-ons.
Readers: Your assignment this week is to leave comments. Either challenge yourself to leave a seven sentence comment on a story, or leave comments (of whatever length) on seven different stories. Whether you find new stories or go back into your bookmarks and history to comment (or re-comment) on a favorite story is up to you.
For Extra Credit: Do both! Writers, don't forget to encourage others in the fandom. You know how much a comment can mean to you, imagine how much it might mean to someone else. Let's remember that fandom is a community, and creativity flourishes in encouraging environments. Readers, step into the shoes of a writer and try a Seven Sentence Story. I don't care if you've never written anything creatively before, or you think you can't write. It's seven sentences, it won't hurt you to try. Even if you never share it, that's a story you made that nobody else could have. Rejoice in that!
By @friendofbats and @durotoswrites! We wanted to do a little writing every day, so we're challenging ourselves to write a drabble (250 words or fewer) each day. Feel free to join in! Fanfiction? Journaling? Fiction? Wanna do sketches or drawings? Wanna just do 100 words? Go for it! Have fun with it! Feel free to share - I'd love to see what everyone comes up with! 💖

He is seated slouched in a green chair with his left elbow across his knee and his head resting on his right hand. He wears a tired frown, and one of his eyes is open to look up towards the viewer. /end ID]
Oh, I guess I've been slacking on thinking of ideas for the monthly poll. Uh, well, I guess EVO Japan is coming up, and they announced a really unexpected collaboration with Sesame Street, and there's been this weird push to get Waffle House as a stage in Tekken 8 so... Besides the obvious choice of "Pete/Claire/Sara in Smash Bros",
The first song has been stuck in my head from an animatic, and the other two are love songs that make me think of my OCs. 🥰
1.) Karma, AJR
2.) Don't you dare (make me fall in love with you), Kaden Mackay
3.) The Day that I Met You, Matilda Mann
