5/13/02: I actually got a reponse submitted. Imagine that. ^_^; However, it's
for one of "this week's" stimulus...but instead of creating a whole new
"week", I'm just going to put it on the main page here.
9/6/00: I managed to find another submission that I had just sort of
forgotten about, sitting in my inbox. ^_^; Sorry, Jason. Also, I think I'll
just wait until I get at least three submissions for each week before I
update them...
8/16/00: Finally another update...there wasn't much point in updating sooner,
because it seemed like everyone was too busy to write. However, we're back
now! And in honor of our thirteenth week, I've put up four stimuli!
Woo!
| Stimulus 1: | Elements | submitted by John Evans |
| Responses: | Elements | submitted by S L |
| Stimulus 2: | Happy Birthday | submitted by John Evans |
| Stimulus 3: | Triskaidekaphobia | submitted by John Evans |
| Stimulus 4: | End of Summer | submitted by John Evans |
The Sunburst Project is an experimental fiction project. The rules are
simple; each week there will be several Stimuli, for example, a
paragraph, a phrase, or a story beginning. Authors then write a story
based upon a Stimulus, inspired by it or contininuing the ideas. Then,
when the week is up, I will post all the stories for everyone's
enjoyment, and new Stimuli will be posted. The fun comes in seeing what
directions different authors have taken one idea in...it's like rays
emanating from a single source. Hence, a Sunburst.
The Sunburst Project is different from normal Impro, in that stories
aren't continued from week to week. Each week there's a new topic to
write about. Several, in fact.
You can write things based on previous stimuli...But then your work gets
buried on the Previous Weeks page. If you
get your response in by the deadline, you get to see yourself displayed
on the main page for an entire week! Compelling, isn't it? ^_^
However, as the whole point of the Sunburst Project is to see the
different directions people take a certain idea in, you should feel free
to submit respones to any stimuli you can find, even ones that already
have lots of responses to them. But the idea is not to write responses to
other respones, only to stimuli.
As a result, there are no queues. No registration is necessary. Simply
send in your story whenever you want.
And one more thing...Be sure and read the news. There's sometimes
important stuff in there.
