Your Week 4 topic is...

Martial Law

Usually alluding to the protocol of bringing in the military to forcibly impose order in case of emergency, martial law is a powerful measure. Intended to ensure safety, it paradoxically generates extreme anxiety in residents' hearts. In Canada, it's the War Measures Act, in place since the early 20th century, that enables the imposition of martial law when needed. When is it needed? When is it justified? Do tell us a tale.

Or hell -- maybe "martial law" refers to the laws of Martians. Fell free to tell us that story instead. ;)

Your Week 3 topic is...

Wormhole

No shortage of things to do with a shortcut through spacetime. Travel moments, days, years, forwards or backwards, perhaps figuratively with nostalgia more than literally; or does your character find zirself somewhere far from where they started with no discernible trace of a path?

Or is your character struck by an earthworm, emerging in the spring rains from its earthy home? Is she eating an apple, is he peeling a potato, only to find the sustainance already preserving a wriggly life?

Your entries after this.

Your Week 2 topic is...

Blue Barn

Huh? what? What's a blue barn? I have never heard of this monstrosity. Aren't barns supposed to be red? What makes a barn red, anyway? Is it embarrassed about something? Oh my. Too many questions. Write me a story and let's see if we can't answer some.

Your Week 1 topic is...

Bag of Root Vegetables

Picture: a young man dressed all in black, eyeliner thick beneath dark eyes, carrying loosely in one hand a Ziploc bag containing one potato, two carrots, and half a rutabaga as he saunters down a major avenue. For what purpose these ingredients?

Picture: 1910. A woman in an apron, a bit aged but not old, hums as she prepares parnips, pulling one after another from the sac the farmer down the road brought over in thanks for her help convincing his unruly son to carry on the family business. Hurried footsteps are audible on the wooden steps; her knife falls with a clatter as the messenger tells her the terrible news…

Or picture whatever you picture. They’re your veggies. It’s your story.

Your Week 4 topic is...

Evolution


1. any process of formation or growth; development: the evolution of a language; the evolution of the airplane.

2. a product of such development; something evolved: The exploration of space is the evolution of decades of research.

3. Biology . change in the gene pool of a population from generation to generation by such processes as mutation, natural selection, and genetic drift.

4. a process of gradual, peaceful, progressive change or development, as in social or economic structure or institutions.

5. a motion incomplete in itself, but combining with coordinated motions to produce a single action, as in a machine.

Yes, our theme this month has been Change. Starting with the germination of a seed or an idea, the growth and maturation of that change, the vivid and sometimes grotesque nature of change, and finally the formation into a new/further developed form. Change is a constant in our universe, no matter how huge or tiny our focus may be. So it is in our writing - our ideas taking root, growing - painfully at times - through drafts and revisions, perhaps taking odd turns we ourselves didn't see coming, until finally - our story is done and ready to be presented to the world.

It's been my pleasure to provide the Topics for this month! I hope you've enjoyed them :-)

Your Week 3 topic is...

Transmogrify

Verb: to change in appearance or form, especially strangely or grotesquely; transform.

Verb: to change or transform into a different shape, esp a grotesque or bizarre one

That's a pretty intriguing word, plus it's just plan fun to say :-D My favorite use is illustrated by Calvin, of Calvin and Hobbes, who ran around brandishing his transmogrifying ray and re-forming the world around him willy nilly.

What's your idea?

Your Week 1 topic is...

GERMINATE

Writing can start as a tiny bud of thought that we water and tend to in order to make our thoughts take root and our ideas grow. Do you perhaps have a fertile little plot bunny, an idea ready to sprout? Maybe your tale will be more literal, involving plants, trees, gardens, landscapes? Or will it be all metaphorical - characters that are flowering or flourishing, ideas taking seed and burgeoning into action? Pretty blooms or earthy manure? Or something more...fecund??

Write your story/essay/poem to post here, and share the richness of your plots with us!

Your Week 3 topic is...

Weather

If I weather a storm, I come out the other side relatively unchanged. If a rock weathers, it wears away over time as a result of the forces constantly bombarding it. Meanwhile, the weather today is sunny with a high of 82°F. Any of these is a valid interpretation, so have at!

We're playing with a theme this month. It is pip is a giant nerd sometimes autantonyms - those words that have two meanings in direct contradiction. The definitions in question this week are:
to adhere or stick together
to cut apart or divide

Use one or both of those meanings in your entry (the exact word 'cleave' is unnecessary) and see where it takes you!

It's okay

This phrase is hugely versatile, and there are many different ways you can incorporate it into your entries. It can mean forgiveness, approval, and reassurance; it can refer to something that is mediocre - but don't make your entries mediocre! Good luck for the final week!

I love you

I know it's corny, but I could help picking this prompt when I fits so well with Valentine's! :P Well, this week is all about those three words, and how your characters will choose to express them. You can explore cultural attitudes towards this phrase - do your characters live in a place where it's said liberally, or not? There are many different kinds of love, not just romantic love, that you can present in your entry. Good luck!.

Hi, everyone! Welcome to week 2 of our February contest!

When submitting for the contest, link your entry in the poll below to have it incorporated into the voting poll at the end of the week. Check out the Main Contest Rules for info on how the main contest works!

Keep in mind that if you DO NOT submit an entry for week one, you will not be eligible to compete in the Main Contest, but please feel free to continue on Just For Fun if you’d like.

Please note also that for the ease of assigning editors and ROAR readers, we request that you include in your submission an approximate word count as well as a genre - just "fiction," "poetry," "non-fiction," or "screenplay" will suffice. Thank you!

For those who aren't sure how to link your entry: copy the link in your browser's address bar when viewing your entry, then paste it in the submission box below. Optionally, you can add HTML to make your link clickable by others. To do this, type the following into the submission box:
<a href="The link to your entry">The link again OR a title you would like to use</a>

Your Week 2 topic is...

Sorry

This week, you're to explore what your characters are ashamed of - what are their mistakes? Are they the kind of person who will apologise for doing something wrong, or not? How do your characters say sorry? Good luck!
