TaleJam

I was going to call this StoryJam, but hey, that name was taken. So, here we are.

At any rate, if any like-minded folks agree to give this a whirl, here's the general idea.

In the same way artists do drawing jams to practice (see conceptart.org, or cghub.com), based upon a surprise weekly subject, I think it would be a blast to do a weekly 'short-story jam.'

Every week, round-robin selection of a subject, and one week to write a short story on the chosen subject. The subject should be brief, but evocative enough to drive a story.

Stories should be between 2,000 and 8,000 words, maybe.

At the end of the week, everybody kicks in their story, we read 'em, maybe crit 'em, and have the fun of seeing how somebody else interpreted the same subject.

So, for example - let's say the subject is....

Civil-War Werewolf

or

Woman Wakes Inside A White Sphere With A Cat

or

Twin Discovers His Brother Is A Murderer

or...

whatever.

Takers?
