Eukara Vox -> =Prose= The Book of Wishes and Luck (3/1/2010 17:38:54)

I am sooo excited! It is finally MARCH!

And that means a new Book!

This month is the Book of Wishes and Luck. I think that this will be a challenge, which is good. Sometimes we need to be challenged in our writing to get better.

Remember that your story must revolve around either wishes or luck. Same procedures as before. Submit your story by PMing me a link to it on gdoc, pastebin or some other external website/host or if you are an AA/AP, post it in CW for me.

Poetry and Prose are both accepted. 1 page minimum, 5 page maximum.

Book of Wishes and Luck

I will post the link to the new book once we have stories to post.

Q? Yea, I have some. I review some poetries in the Book of Winter and saw shreder10s' and Kiyodais'. Good poems, but the verses ranges. What's recommended: 1 page or 5 page? Do you want an epic? or something like a sonnet? Is a poem with 20 to 50 lines good enough?

I just wanted to be certain, mind me for my rudeness. =)



Eukara Vox -> RE: =Prose= The Book of Wishes and Luck (3/1/2010 19:37:20)

I actually measured the length of a poem using the standards in the main thread. 40 lines is about 1 page. I am not so cruel as to force you to get exactly that, but we do want the poem to have content and length.



Ilø€IMPERIAL€ølI -> RE: =Prose= The Book of Wishes and Luck (3/1/2010 19:45:54)

Thanks for the fast reply. I now have something to aim for, 40 lines isn't that bad... :)



alexmacf -> RE: =Prose= The Book of Wishes and Luck (3/3/2010 1:13:05)

I am going to give this one my all. It'll be a pleasant break from the intense work of creating a universe. I'm already scheming some, and thinking about using a quasi-fantastical setting. It may involve fae.



The Extinguisher -> RE: =Prose= The Book of Wishes and Luck (3/3/2010 1:17:22)

Question:

Can I submit multiple small poems that together are long enough for the book?



Eukara Vox -> RE: =Prose= The Book of Wishes and Luck (3/3/2010 1:36:46)

Would they be a series? Related to each other?



Oddmanthefirst -> RE: =Prose= The Book of Wishes and Luck (3/3/2010 16:02:51)

Question: Can it be a tragedy? For example, MC asked for more money. Wish comes true, however MC is arrested for supposed extortion.



Eukara Vox -> RE: =Prose= The Book of Wishes and Luck (3/3/2010 16:05:43)

My only real major stipulations are that they stick with the theme and obey the rules of AE and L&L. Tragedies are just as good as any other writing. My contribution to the last book wasn't a completely happy story. Most people cried after reading it.

Do what comes naturally. This project series is a way to get everyone writing and enjoying each others labors.



Oddmanthefirst -> RE: =Prose= The Book of Wishes and Luck (3/3/2010 16:13:45)

Well I ask because this month's topic revolves around luck/wishes. Imo, this means that the story has more of a positive mood.



Eukara Vox -> RE: =Prose= The Book of Wishes and Luck (3/3/2010 16:26:53)

Nah, if life was all ponies and candy, we would be bored...

I would welcome a story like yours in a heartbeat. Why? Because, negativity often comes from wishing. Wishing can be interpreted as an easy way out, thus causing more trouble than it was worth.

So, please, do not think that wishes and luck is always positive. The negative accompanies it just as much as the positive.



Reaper Sigma -> RE: =Prose= The Book of Wishes and Luck (3/4/2010 6:15:35)

Hoorah! The new Book is up!

I've actually decided to use a new idea for this one. Inspired by Euky's last story, in fact. Probably not going to be as good, though.



The Braken Bard -> RE: =Prose= The Book of Wishes and Luck (3/4/2010 9:16:08)

Dang, I actually forgot about the Book of Winter D:
I better make up for it now.



The Extinguisher -> RE: =Prose= The Book of Wishes and Luck (3/5/2010 12:46:56)

Not exactly. More like a set of poems all with the same theme.



Eukara Vox -> RE: =Prose= The Book of Wishes and Luck (3/5/2010 15:37:32)

Hmmmm

Interesting. We were looking at having the poems be more story-ish, which is why I set the 40 line minimum. Unless each one has a story to it, or an explanation?




Reaper Sigma -> RE: =Prose= The Book of Wishes and Luck (3/6/2010 19:29:08)

When is the deadline for story/poem submissions?



Eukara Vox -> RE: =Prose= The Book of Wishes and Luck (3/7/2010 15:15:44)

Each book runs the entire month it is introduced. So the last day that you can turn in a story is March 31st.



Xirminator -> RE: =Prose= The Book of Wishes and Luck (3/8/2010 7:30:37)

Yay, another book! I have an idea (probably unoriginal, because I think it comes from something I read in my childhood, but who cares) but it involves only wishes. Does it have to involve both luck and wishes?



Eukara Vox -> RE: =Prose= The Book of Wishes and Luck (3/8/2010 9:06:54)

Nope!

I can only be about wishes, only about luck or about both.

Glad you have an idea brimming! I will be writing a fairytale!



horusmaster9 -> RE: =Prose= The Book of Wishes and Luck (3/8/2010 20:55:33)

Huzzah huzzah! A new Book! This fills me with almost as much joy as the confirmed news about the next Jay Chou album! :D

Thank heavens I wrote my story way back in February. Now all I have to do is touch it up a little submit it. :D
But is sad that there are no stories for the public to read yet. ;-;

EDIT: Also, should I PM the link to my finished story, or will you magically know? It's hard to tell with you dragonflies... you have all of these connections... <.<



Eukara Vox -> RE: =Prose= The Book of Wishes and Luck (3/9/2010 8:44:30)

Hehe, well, I decided to go the old fashioned route for this and have you pm me with a link. As tempting as it is to use magic, I won't.



Eukara Vox -> RE: =Prose= The Book of Wishes and Luck (3/10/2010 8:36:42)

I received two stories so far and are about to put them up for review. I am excited!!!

Who's next?!??!



Oddmanthefirst -> RE: =Prose= The Book of Wishes and Luck (3/10/2010 20:35:31)

Well I just finished mine up and it has been posted. I don't know if its ready to be pmed though. CC would be appreciated. By the way, I'm not quite sure how these stories are accepted. Do people review the story and just say whether it is accepted or not?



Shreder -> RE: =Prose= The Book of Wishes and Luck (3/10/2010 20:43:25)

Once you PM the link to Eukky, we (the L&L AKs) will look over it, correct any major problems, and then it will be posted in the book.



Oddmanthefirst -> RE: =Prose= The Book of Wishes and Luck (3/10/2010 20:52:05)

So should I might as well send it now?
