Mods: I have no idea how the Olympics work so if you arrange teams differently, please let me know XD


Well by the look of it, we shall be organising our own teams for the writing Olympics! So I thought I'd start off with Team X Now Batman!.

If you'd like to join, just post in this thread - along with any name suggestions... unless you like X men.

(And no, the X bit has nothing to do with the fact that Demeter calls me Wolverine) XD


Edit: Okay, so! People have joined and submitted team name ideas.

Member list:
Audy
Blues
Dragongirl11
Noninjaspresent

Name possibilities:
-Team Batman
-Team Dragon
-Team Word Ninjas!

It'll be chosen by poll (although this has a large possibility of not working so if that's the case, I'll flip a coin at 8 pm GMT). You are allowed to vote for your own idea if you wish and may the best idea win! ;)


Edit #2 Team Batman is our new name ;)

This is fine! However you find/ arrange your teams is fine by me, just as long as you submit the name and members once you're sorted.

Hey Team! Here's some advice for the first challenge.

Spoiler
If you've ever written flash fiction before, then you would be familiar with what you have to do for this challenge. If you haven't done flash fiction before - my favorite example is one of Hemingway's - a story in 6 words:

For Sale: Baby shoes. Never worn.


We have it a bit better, but still, it's only 100 words so don't worry about a beginning/exposition. In fact, you don't even need an "ending". Just focus on the "middle" -- the conflict. That's all you ever need for a story anyway ;)

My advice is to just write the story. If you focus on the alphabet, it might come out forced. After you write the story, go back, count your words, and count your letters. Then adjust! Edit! Thesaurus.com is a wonderful tool for when you're stuck :)

Also keep in mind the rules say we can't use a word with the same starting letter more than 5 times. 26 letters in the alphabet times 5 = 130 possibilities! We only need 100! This means we don't have to use every letter. Buh-bye X. Good-bye Z. (Of course, you guys might be more creative than I and might incorporate it better xD so don't let me discoura---wait a sec, we only have 24 hours! Get to writing!)

Great advice, Audy! I'll be sure to use it - that task looks ever so frightening XD

It's nearly 8 pm GMT so... time to choose the name! Aaaaaand, not surprisingly, it's a three-way tie. I'll roll a dye so it's fair) (and you can ask little Blues if you don't believe the result.

Okay. Numbers!

1 and 6 = Dragon
2 and 5 = Ninjas
3 and 4 = Batman.

May the best name win and 3, 2, 1, roll! (I have no idea why I'm troubling myself to do this)

...and it's a number 4!

Team Batman wins! But all the names were excellent and thanks for your submissions :3 It's a shame we can't have all the names - or can we?

But what's more important is the actual event. Come on team, we can do this! :D

Ok, I just submitted one... I'm new to flash fiction so that story came out really weirdly.
