Chatterbox: Pudding's Place

Writing+Art Contest!   

Writing+Art Contest!       

Credit to Rose bud for the original idea (felt the need to do that)

I was digging through Pudding's Place when I found Rose bud's "Writing/Art Contest!" and thought it was a really good idea! So, I'm gonna make one.

http://www.cricketmagkids.com/chatterbox/puddingsplace/node/263703?page=... (Link to the original contest)

Here's how it works:

1. sign up as either an artist or an author.

2. on the 10th (or possibly sooner, whatever) I will assign each CBer a partner. There will be one author and one artist in each group.

3. There will be groups of two rounds. The groups will be judged on both partners' abilities. In the first semi-round, the author will post a short story. (Try to keep the stories under 1000 words) Then, the artist will draw a picture from the story. For the second semi-round, the partners will switch, with the artist posting a picture first, and the author writing a story for the picture.

Rules:

You can request other CBers as your partner.

We won't start until we have perfect two-person teams.

I will periodically post lists of all the authors, artists, and requested teams that we have. 

Well, that's it! I'll post anything I've forgotten later, and make sure to ask me if you have any questions.

Ok, I think have a idea that I want to do! I'm thinking that this fire princess works at a factory or something that sort of takes advantage of her fire powers and basically the working conditions aren't great and she's pretty unhappy. Then she meets a new worker who convinces her to try to escape. What do you think of that idea?

Ooh, interesting! I do have one suggestion, though. It seems like a princess wouldn't work at a factory... what if it's the king or queen who's using the princess' power? And she meets a servent who convinces her to escape? This is your story, though, you don't have to use this. :)

That's a great idea! It makes a lot more sense that way, so I'll definitely use this. Thank you! I'll start the story tonight and hopefully finish in the next few days.

So sorry! I love your art! I have an idea, but i need to chew on it for a bit and decide how it's going to go. Again, your art is amazing! Also, it gave me a flow of ideas, so I had to take some time to choose the perfect story.

Hey! Yeah, sorry, I kind of started college classes like 2 weeks ago, and this is the third week and I'm still figuring out everything, but I promise I'll try to get to the story soon!

That’s so awesome! You’re going to do great, I promise. I feel so tiny when my partner is in college and I’ve only started middle school this year xD But honestly, (And I hope this doesn’t sound weird or anything) I love working with you!! You’re so patient and your writing is amazing!!

It's going pretty good! I'm still working on my first draft, but I'll probably finish that this week. Then, I'll do some editing before I post it! I'll try and post a WIP at some point, too. :)
