May is Sea Monster Month at Torn World! http://tornworld.net



Every year, we celebrate a month of the big ocean dwellers in this shared world platform. You have just a few more hours to join in our kick-off Muse Fusion: http://torn-world.livejournal.com/229215.html

Bring prompts, and our artists and writers will create something just for you! Your prompts can be generic, if you aren't familiar with the setting, or specific to the Torn World monsters: http://www.tornworld.net/settingpageview.php?id=114

I'm doing a personal Sea Monster crowdfunded project - a Sea Monster Mini-Coloring Book! http://ellenmillion.livejournal.com/1515101.html

I'm making an 8-page half-sized coloring book (8.5 x 5.5) of sea monsters, both serious and silly. We've made our goal for getting a print copy - PDF copies start at just $2, and are included in every sponsorship package. Further stretch goals include more pages, bookmarks, and professional printing (which will ensure stock for future sales)!

I am promising sea monster sketches for the next 13 prompters at the Muse Fusion, so get those in swiftly!


And, the May Sketch Fest is on the calendar for May 14-16. Join us for 48 hours of creative sketching! http://www.ellenmilliongraphics.com/sketchfest/

(June's Sketch Fest is tentatively scheduled for June 12-14!)

Ooh, I've been in this comm for awhile and just now figured out I should advertise here!

I hold bi-monthly prompt calls over at my journal, and the May/June prompt call is now open! The (optional) theme is Nature. The post at the link has more information.

Poetry Fishbowl Report for April 7, 2015

[ysabetwordsmith]

This month's theme was "language shaping thought." I worked from 12:30 PM to 4:30 AM, so about 14 hours 30 minutes, allowing for breaks. I wrote 15 poems on Tuesday and another 9 later.

Participation was good, with 27 prompters on LiveJournal and 50 on Dreamwidth. A total of 20 people sent prompts. Please welcome new prompters moongoddessgirl and kiramaru7. You have them to thank for the second freebie.
