Help Wanted! I have currently run into a position where I an unable to visit the club as much as I want to and is needed (as you've probably seen). So I'm calling out for help. It's not too hard of work, you'd just need to stop by about once a week. I'd like to have 1 or 2 people to help with New Members and 2 or 3 people to help with Club Submissions. Note the club if you're interested!

New Affiliates!
~Character-Collective "Hello, we at the Character Collective would like to offer you our services. We are a brand new group dedicated to producing characters that fit the needs of writers, graphic novelists, and other creative types. If any of your writers needs help coming up with character designs or wants a drawing of a character, they can come to us! I don't know how you want us to allow your members to use us, but we are open to suggestions!"
~Book-Reviews "I have, earlier today (28/8/09) started up a group for reviewing books. Currently there is only one review published there, but I am hoping to add to that in the very near future. I realise that your club is more about writing than reading, but I figure, the two go hand-in-hand. I’m planning to update with a new review at least once a week and am trying to make it as easy as possible for others to submit reviews as well. There will also be a list of fifty books that members recommend."


Welcome one and all!

We are a club that encourages short story writers. We believe that short story writers don't get as much recognition as they should, so here's the place to show your stuff!

We are open to all types of writing, so please don't flame at writing you may not like. If you really have a problem with a submitted piece, please contact us and we will try and resolve the issue.

If anyone has anyone comments, questions, or suggestions, feel free to speak!

Here's a list of the second list participators and submissions

2nd List
Pictures
Choose a picture, and write a story inspired by it. Interpret it however you like or see fit. The picture could be an outcome of the story, what's happening at the moment, or whatever you decide! You don't have to go in order, but you can if you like. You may use the picture for a preview of the story, but you are REQUIRED to credit the creator and post a link to the deviation.

_{This list was put together by =kittywhiskas and it took a VERY long amount of time... I tried very hard to get a diverse selection and remember, it's supposed to "challenge" you, so some themes will be harder than others}

(Sorry about the links... We have no subscription )

But we will be adding these to the 100 TC Reference sections in our favorites, just find the group with the number your looking for in it. Just find the title that matches the number

If any of the links don't work, please let me know (if the deviation doesn't exist anymore, I will replace it)

You may ask "Why would we want to do this?" or "What's in it for us?"

Well, this is a great opportunity to write about diverse topics. It will let you explore and improve as a writer. Plus it's fun

An added bonus, if you finish either or both lists you'll will be added to our front page permanently, until "hell freezes over".

We're now offering extra goodies if you finish either of the lists, but you won't find out what they are unless you finish

Submitting Entries: To submit an entry once you've finished a theme, send a note titled 100 THEME 1 (for the first list) or 100 THEME 2 (for the second list) with:
1. The Number of your theme
2. The List you used (just incase you forgot in the title)
3. The Title of piece
4. A Link to your piece

Your entry will be added under the topic, with a link to your piece (that's submitted in the gallery).

Important: This will automatically be added to the club gallery, so DO NOT send a separate note for a regular submission.
