CDM / Short Story Smackdown - Christmas Edition?

[Rodrigo Istalindir]

Anyone interested in a Ceramic DM / Short Story Smackdown one-shot, with a holiday theme? I was thinking something along the lines of 4 pictures, 5000 words, 1 week time limit. Once the submissions were in, open it up as a poll and let the readers decide the winner.

I was thinking about a fast-paced variant during the Christmas season. One of my big frustrations with CDM is that it takes a ton of time to both write and read stories. I love 'em, but I don't have the time to commit right now. In comparison, though, I've been playing with the short-short-story format - you get a topic, and you have to write a story on it that is exactly 100 words long. The very short format requires you to carefully choose words, polishing each one so that it matters. It's fun and fast!

What do you think of that? We'd want 3 judges, and people would have 24 hours to finish their entry. (Since they take about 15 minutes to write, this is more to account for time zones than anything else.) Judging would be really fast as well.

I'd like to run this anyways, to tell the truth, but I'm happy to slot it in a different time slot than Short Story Smackdown.

Well, the response was overwhelming

Ok, PC, give it a shot. I'll play.
