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.

NO THEME?!? Eep! Ok @Niightskies, (I probably completely butchered your name.... *face palms*) Anyways, what should I write about? Any ideas? Or I can just put something here and try to come up with something...

Haha, don’t worry about the name thing, my irl name always gets spelled wrong so I’m used to it XD
I do lots of fantasy art, so maybe that? Otherwise maybe a realistic world with magic involved? I’ll *try to* draw anything!!

Hmm, no theme, tricky. What do you think you'll write about?
(March 10, 2021 - 8:11 pm)
I'm not sure! If you have any specific input/things you'd prefer me to write about so it is easier for you to draw about, please let me know. Otherwise, I'll probably be listening to a lot of music and/or using random things (e.g., a Malala Yousafzai quote, or the first sentence of a book, or a line of someone else's poetry, or the title/first line of a song, or an author I admire's writing style, or... I don't know... something. Or I'll write a little bit of Trains and Tribulations. Or... i don't know lol) for/as inspiration.

That sounds good! I'm better at drawing people and having objects in the background, so if you could focus the writing around the character, that would be very helpful. Otherwise, all your ideas sound great :).

Any ideas for what I should write about? I'm excited to work together!
(March 10, 2021 - 8:31 pm)
I have no ideas, at the moment. what's your favorite genre to write in?
(March 11, 2021 - 11:42 am)
I like writing fantasy! I think I'll listen to some music for inspiration and play around with some ideas I have tonight. :) Is there anything in particular that you really enjoy drawing?
(March 11, 2021 - 9:07 pm)
awesome!! there's nothing in particular that I'd like to draw, but I'm REALLY bad at drawing animals, especially dogs and horses.
(March 11, 2021 - 9:58 pm)
So many options to write about! Azalea, do you have any ideas/preferences as to what I should write?
(March 10, 2021 - 10:38 pm)
Oh, it doesn't matter really! I would prefer not to have science fiction because I'm not as good at drawing those kind of outfits, but I could definitely try! I enjoy pretty much any genre :)
(March 11, 2021 - 7:31 am)
Excited to work with you too! I'm almost done with my story and I will probably have it out by tonight/tomorrow.
(March 11, 2021 - 6:52 am)
Cool! What's it about? I am best at drawing humans.
(March 11, 2021 - 4:37 pm)
Hi! I'm excited to work with you. Is there any requests you have before I start writing? Things you like to draw/things you can't or don't want to draw, or ideas for my story, etc. Also, would you like me to start a thread on This Month so our planning is a bit more organized?
