Do you think we should have a writing fight project? One where it explains the rules and stuff?

That's a good idea! :D

Also, the weeklies are supposed to change on Sundays, I think, if you wouldn't mind changing that in the desc :)

Oops, I missed this-

Sounds good, do you want to make it or should I? Since I'm making the rules, I could but if you want to I can just post the rules here. :)

Btw, here's the list of dailies:


January 1 - Happy New Year! And welcome to the first day of camp. Usually, the first day of camp is an introductory day and this is no different. Or is it? For your first day, you’ll be introducing yourself but a bit differently. Write a short scene in the third person pov where you’re introducing yourself to someone. Try to include things about yourself not only in the dialogue but in the actions as well. This scene should be a minimum of 300 words. You’ll earn 400 points for this daily!

January 2 - Look up the definition of the pantster writer and the plotter writer. Which one would you say you are? Write 200 words of a story you've been working on using the opposite approach than what you normally do. Either jump in without planning this part you're going to write or strategically plan it out before you start. This daily earns 400 points. An extra 100 points if you share your work! Have fun trying a new approach!

January 3 - Have you ever wished you were different? Today, write 300 words about where humans have (a) unique body part(s). What about eagle wings? Or vines instead of hair? Or even a monkey tail? The possibilities are endless! You earn 400 points for this daily. An extra 100 points if you share proof!

January 4 - What is a cliche you love? Write 250 words about why you love that cliche and how you could use it in one of your stories. This daily earns 300 points! An extra 100 points if you share your work!

January 5 - Write a full (first and last) name in the comments. Any random name, or one you like! Someone else will take that name and make a character solely based on the name! Now, you will pick a name from someone else and write an outline of your character. 400 words for 500 points! An extra 100 points if you share your work!

January 6 - It's time to pair up! Post a comment asking for a partner, and once you have one, take turns telling each other the plot of a story you're working on. Then give your partner some feedback on their story idea, asking questions and letting them know if you have any suggestions for it! This daily is worth 200 points! Post a link to your comment strand for proof.

January 7 - Have you ever wondered what life on other planets is like? Today choose a planet and write about life there in 300 words for 350 points!

January 8 - Everyone needs writing prompts, sometimes, right? Well, today it's time to share some! Make up a prompt for someone to use, and post a comment with it. Take someone else's prompt and write a scene using it! 400 words for 500 points! An extra 100 points if you share your work!

January 9 - Fairy tales such as Little Red Riding Hood and Cinderella are considered classics in the book world. Today look up a famous fairy tale and rewrite it in a different genre! You don’t have to make the story as long as the original fairy tale and you’re free to change aspects of the original story. 400 words for 550 points! An extra 100 points for sharing your work.

January 10 - It's time to Roleplay! Find someone to pair up with, and RP as yourself in a land filled with knights, droids, sleuths, and all of the other cabins! At least go back and forth 4 times each, and post your comment strand for proof. If you don't know what roleplay is, you can read more here: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/544424616
This daily is worth 200 points!
January 11 - Cabin wars! It’s best to consult with your (co)leader(s) before attacking another cabin as your (co)leader(s) may have a strategy/tactic.

An extra 100 points if you share your work!

January 18 - Fanfic time!

Np! Honestly, I would prefer if you made it, if that's ok? I'm very busy lately, and you'll know better how to explain it.

ALSOO THE DAILIES LOOK AMAZING! <33

Here are my weeklies:

https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/post/6786142/

https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/646071/

I hope it's ok that I thought mine would work best as the 1st and 4th ones. ^^

I plan on asking the leaders for examples in a few days. :)

I also saw that you said that there won't be a daily on the 31st, but I think we did talk about doing an activity where cabins try to write a certain amount of words that day to gain the most points. :D It's explained more here: https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/post/6712642/

:0 I forgot about that. Do you think that maybe we should make it so you can start writing at 12 am UTC and end at 12 am UTC instead of starting in your timezone? Because people in earlier timezones won't have as much time to write for the last daily.

Ok! You probably don't have to post it that soon, though. :)

Thanks! Sorry they took so long ;)

Yeah, I think that that activity is basically like the last daily, so it should run in UTC time. :)

I sent the camper signups notifications! <3

Here's a reminder about your writing comp committee forum :D You probably want enough time to start figuring out who is doing what job on your committee and deciding the places and points for the competition. ^^

Ok, great! <3

So I was wondering if you've finished your weeklies? :) If you have, then we can start deciding who is doing what examples. The 4 leaders were Kat, Sarah, Pineapple, and Iris. I know it doesn't matter much who does which examples, but we do have to decide so we can send them the weeklies they're working on.
