All right, understood! Just one question: when does the AOTW change? Like Sunday, Monday, etc. Thanks! I’ll check out the studio in a couple hours after I finish some schoolwork!

So, if I'm understanding this right, @boom2ratz and I change the AOTW? Or do we come up with it?

Since the new update means that only one person can change the description, your job is to come up with new ones (either together, or taking it turns). But, if you prefer, you can make an AOTW forum instead, and post the new activities there. It's up to the two of you to decide ʕ·ᴥ·ʔ

Here is an AOTW, Jori (I discussed everything with @boom2ratz): Suggest an author (it can be a real life author or a Scratch author with the username). Find an author that someone else suggested that you haven't heard of before and read some of their work. Try to find something in it that can help you grow as a writer.

SWOW Manager Forum
This is where we'll share ideas and talk about how to make improvements to the studio, amongst other things (◠ᴥ◕ʋ)
_______________________________________________
Roles for the remainder of August:
• QOTD: @JollofRice123
• WWD: @QuirkyPROgrammer_101
• AOTW: @boom2ratz and @tek_ilovemarvel
• Events: @LadyOfBooks and @pinkiepiepony
_______________________________________________
These roles are temporary, and will most likely rotate in the future so that we're not getting bored with doing the same tasks all the time.

Notes: QOTD, WWD and AOTW changes don't have to be planned all at once! You can do a couple of days/weeks first, post them here, then come back later with another set. Just make sure you post them on time! (◠ᴥ◕ʋ)

In addition to the extra roles, there will be the more ‘traditional’ ones, like inviting curators, removing unrelated projects etc.

Remember, this is a community for writers to come together, so try to get curators to engage in conversations and become familiar with you and other curators too! You can share writing prompts, ask for help, post a comment about how annoying writer's block is etc. ʕ·ᴥ·ʔ

Whilst we're waiting on the committee to form, we'll be doing some of the jobs designated for them as well.

Bear in mind that being a manager is more than a label. It's an important role, and it requires all of us to do our part.

That being said, I look forward to working with you all! Thanks for reading this XD

Hey! Could you tell me on what WWD means and on what I should do exactly? Sort of unclear on that…
———————————————————————————————————————————————-

Sure! The three acronyms in bold in the original post (QOTD, WWD and AOTW) are activities that can be found in the studio description. WWD means Weekly Writing Dare, and your job is essentially the same as @boom2ratz and @tek_ilovemarvel's: coming up with new ideas for the assigned activity.

The WWD already has a forum, so you can post the new ones there, but you should also post your ideas here so that I can update the studio description as well ʕ·ᴥ·ʔ You can see the previous WWDs on the forum too, to get a feel for what type of dares have been done previously.

Ah that was really helpful! Thank you

I love that — great idea! Thank you both! ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ

WWD for the next week: Turn your dream protagonist into your antagonist and vice versa hence creating your own story and see how it turns out!

Hi there! I got the third and fourth AOTWs! (if I'm not mistaken, @tek_ilovemarvel sent/will send the first two and I'll send the second two)

- Prompts are great! They can help you get rid of writer's block or even enhance a plot idea you have. Get at least one prompt and make a short story with it! Then post the story and/or how it went! Do you often use prompts? Did you like it? Was the prompt good or bad? (make sure to link the prompt you used if possible!)

- Genres are great! Every story has at least one, and often, they have more! Get a combination of at least two seemingly completely unrelated genres and write something combining them (e.g. historical fiction and dystopian).

I'm not sure if these work, please let me know if you need me to change something! :-D

I've got another AOTW, if needed: Write a fanfiction. It can be based off of any book/ TV show/ movie/ etc and can even be multiple works combined. Make sure to credit the original author/ work.

Once again, thank you both — you've adapted incredibly quickly to your positions as managers, and I'm impressed and grateful for your hard work! All your ideas have been noted down for future reference (◍•ᴗ•◍)

Ooh, you should do one where you ask someone you know to give you a basic plot and character and you have to build on that, no matter what it is!
