May's Prompts and Submissions
Journal Entry: Fri May 30, 2008, 4:43 AM
What is simplyprose?
*simplyprose is a club similar to *bevelled-edge when it was still active. *simplyprose aims to provide a place on DA where prose writers can feature their prose pieces without a selection process.
But there's a catch! *simplyprose is more than just a place for people to pimp their work. We hope to generate new prose pieces on DA. For this reason, *simplyprose will only feature prose pieces that have been written for prompts that *simplyprose has provided. These prompts will hopefully also serve as points of inspiration for those who want to write but just don't have the inspiration.
How does it work?
Every month, a new journal entry will be put up with the month's prompts. There will be four types of prompts: a scenario-type prompt, a character-type prompt, a word association prompt, and a miscellaneous-category prompt.
You can write for a single prompt, or for a combination of prompts. We ask that you send in a maximum of four pieces a time. Each submitted prose piece cannot have overlapping prompts.
