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.

Oh, also (assuming you still want to see the drawing before you start to write) do you have any preferences in tone or an idea of what you want to do?
Yay, this is so exciting!
(April 17, 2021 - 1:09 pm)
Thank you for saying yes! I have no preferences and no ideas, so any thing you think would start a good story will be great. I will start on the writing once I see your art. I'm excited to work with you!

Not sure if you saw this earlier since you responded in a different part . . . do you have any preferences?
(April 16, 2021 - 1:31 pm)
Oh! So sorry I didn't respond earlier, I ddin't see it! I like writing about people, and mainly happy stories/bitter-sweet I guess? But if you want to draw something different, that's fine.

That sounds good! I like drawing people. I'll get started.

Hi! Tealeaf and I still haven't been judged. I'm super sorry if I'm being annoying with this, but I'd really like to know our scores. :)

I will start work on the drawing tonight, but just wanted you to know I finally got to posting the close ups on the other thread :)
(April 16, 2021 - 8:17 pm)
Perfect! And I saw those, thank you so much!!
(April 17, 2021 - 5:23 pm)
Um this is weird but I can be your partner @Perigrine! (I have an idea)
(April 17, 2021 - 5:23 am)
Juni, I would really like to work with you but Jaybells already said they would be my artist partner. However, I would be very happy to work with you outside of this contest if you would like (you caught my interest when you said you had an idea and I would love to see it). It's always fun to have a story to your art and vice versa.
(April 17, 2021 - 3:52 pm)
Okaaay! I finally finished the rough draft, and I think I'll colour and polish it it up some more... Uh, soon.
If you don't feel like writing about it just let me know, I'll come up with something else! Yay!
(Also I read your story from last round and it was aMaZiNG!!!

Yikes, I'm tired; I forgot to attach the file :P
(April 18, 2021 - 2:31 am)
Thank you, I'm glad you like my story. Your art looks amazing and I may or may not have an idea already (sometimes they fall through)! The strange lighting and the shadows look so mysterious and intriguing. I can't wait to get started.

Do you mind if I copy and paste your art elsewhere so I may access it more easily? I will, of course, give you full credit.
A little update on the story: I am mostly figuring out the character(s); their personality, wants, dreams, etc.
