Topic: WAAPT Summer Camp

A game for creative stimulation.

Rules:

  • Each week, interested people submit a one-sentence (plus optional "achievement name") writing prompt.

  • For person's first week, they should submit two, so we have a buffer.

  • In return, they will receive a prompt via PM.

  • The goal is to work the prompt into your RP-ing, though you can fulfill it as a non-canon side bit just as well.

  • You may play the prompt however you wish.

  • Since the prompt assignments are secret, post what prompt you've fulfilled once you've done so.

  • Ideally, you will keep a prompt until you complete it, but if you are really stuck, we'll allow a redraw.

Please post your prompts / declarations of intent in this thread.

Sanity is precious; use it sparingly.

Re: WAAPT Summer Camp

For my "entry fee":

Capitalism
Have one of your characters get paid for doing something.
▾


And for the first week:

META: Once More With Feeling!
Accompany a post with music.

(Am hoping to do first draw Friday night, aka late April 22nd, New York time.)

(Would also like opinions on whether assignments should be fully random, or whether I will meddle to ensure nobody gets their own entry.)

Re: WAAPT Summer Camp

Might as well put my two cents and two ideas into this little project. (This is Pent by the way)

Entry fee:

Shade of the First Week: Your character has noticed themselves repeating an action they took early in their adventure, soon after coming into contact with the J-Team.▾


And my week 1 entry:

One Quiet Night: Something keeps your character from their bed, a loose concern or fear in their head that they cannot put to rest before sinking into sleep. It may not keep them awake a whole night, but it still leaves them sitting in the still of night alone with their thoughts.▾
