Would like some member input, so who has some idea's for a new short story competition.

I was thinking of having to write a story that is completely conversation between characters and nothing else.

Any others?

If I submitted Waiting For Godot, would anyone notice?

Actually as a variation on your theme - how about a quick contest of a week to find the best conversation between an Amkon member and the Turing machine-thing at www.cleverbot.com ?

I've had a couple of bizarre conversations - totally lucid, but the program is actually borderline sociopathic/pedophilic. Very naughty. I posted a couple on another website but would try again.

That's just an idea for something that is entertaining (the idea is to get the program to 'think' in a way that brings about a conversational flow about real and metaphysical things) and quick.



I have some other ideas for later.

A dialog only competition? Could be fun...

Maybe a mythological creature story? Dragons, bigfoot , nessie, whatever you know so long as the story revolves around a mythological creature.

Maybe a competition that revolves around terrorism? Either political or social...

Ummm what other ideas....OH! Maybe a story that includes pics! Write whatever you want so long as the story includes at least 2 pictures....Then again their is a picture upload limit of three I think... meh we could still do a story with pics.


So their are a few ideas of mine. Who else has some?

Classic Conspiracy Haiku: like jfk, moon visit, big foot etc etc.

Message in a bottle from the past. We use the short message to work out where the character is. Good for lost Sumarians!

Ode to (famous dood). With a pre-described layout.

Example.

Noun
2 adjectives.
Short sentence of accomplishment (10 words max)
3 gerands.
Short sentence, how they died (10 words max)

Havent a clue really. Ive not worked it through but I did suggest an Amkon Internet radio. I would suggest people could have their own hour live to play/talk about what they want.
I would also suggest it would be well listened to, just imagine all the sheeple from ATS and OM hearing their pet theories destroyed or laughed over.

The key would be keeping it short and snappy IMO. Not an hour to talk about what you like, more like 5 minutes.

Chorlton

I would suggest TV would be a bit boring.
You can have Internet Radio running whilst you are doing other things like a word doc.
TV is also a bit thirsty, bandwidth wise.

chorltons correct, we have considered doing a radio show numerous times over the past couple of years but havent either had the tech knowhow or the interest from members to get it started.

ive always been willing to put together a 1/2 hour segment a week, just need some additional support from the rest of the members. it would be cool if say at least 6 of us were able to commit to a 1/2 hour segment each per week.

Fair enough, we have the talent and time to do both... I'm busy at the moment and just kicking around ideas.

I'd love to hear it Chorlton, especially if you do some underground 60's stuff. I imagine you have a decent voice...

*

Just record it, encode it to mp3, upload it to youtube, start a thread and we'll all listen... That's how I would start. The other way to do it is spend ages organising the damn thing and it'll all fall apart cos we can't stretch to the schedule. With the different time zones hardly any of us would listen live anyway.

You know what'd be really cool... 60's music, and then UFO gossip etc in the middle.

yeh, that was the plan. rather than doing it amateurishly with uploading mp3's or youtube's the ideal would be to have a dedicated internet radio show a few times a week and try and build an audience.

something with an amkon attitude dealing with alternative topics in a no bullshit manner.

got enough smart people and edgy personalities to make it successful imo.

*sighs*

all mojo wanted was some plot ideas for writing contests...

and we end up with Mega Media Murdoch Wannabies alla ATS clone, blah.

Chorlton is correct, Triangle, bandwidth IS an issue, on the User End. A lot of folks run at 3MPS or less ("dial up" type speeds) Wireless routers in the house have a nasty habit of Not delivering at their full potential. Same for cells and wireless portable devices.

as you mentioned, Delivery isn't really a problem anymore... Reception, however, still is...

Unless you want to limit your market to only those people with high end connections and the hardware capable of rendering the audio / visual components you're recommending.

From where I sit, layer the thing with as many bells and whistles as you want... It's still SHIT if the content sucks. If the content rocks, then bells and whistles are moot.

Trying to get two AmKonians to play nice together is harder than getting your kid to eat her broccoli. We'll all starve ourselves to death before we back down from "whatever".

Throw something "artistic" into the mix and forget about it.

when the time is right, it'll happen... that seems to be the way things work out here.

sellable.

Look at Jerry Springer.

*shrugs* P0rn is pretty "sellable" too, and cheaper to produce. Is this intended to be Profit Driven venture, or an Artistic Endeavor? Triangle is sounding rather profit oriented.... suck in more people, get more clicks, get celebrity guests, broadcast Live 24/7, etc...

Since I'm loosely related to the industry, that all sounds like WORK to me... time consuming Work. Time consuming professional and technical labor that deserves compensation.

If it's just for grins and giggles, there's still a technical aspect of it that is rather boring and mind numbing, ie not a lotta fun even for someone as crazy as Pac... so what's in it for the tech head that makes the thing work?

I link to mp3s and movies here alla the time. There's Nothing stopping Anyone from creating "whatever" hosting it "where ever", and then linking to their content from here.

Here's a couple of podcasts that Nola and I did some years ago to show my employers just how freekin' easy it really is... no fuss no muss, so easy a CHILD can do it.

podcasts are cool but not the same as a dedicated show with interviews and commentary.
but if someone was able to deal with those issues i think an amkon style radio show would be a fucking hoot, and thats all it would be imo. if it managed to make a few dollars that could help pay the running costs it would serve a purpose, i dont see it ever being a "money spinner". that would take way to much time and finance for most of us id imagine.

how about i add a poll for these suggestions to start with, we can always add to the list at anytime after weve decided on the next competition's storyline.


1. a dialogue only story.

2. mythological creatures.

3. story based on a picture.

4. a conflict involving a plant or plants.

5. haiku poetry with a conspiracy angle.

thy adventure wouldnt be a true pirates joy if it didnt contain a shiela, and a nice bit of tittay would be great..


if ye want to throw a twist in thar, maybe thy ending should be with thee main character being killed in some way.
many totally different adventures by many authors, all ending with a true character assassination.

we have "live chat"
is there any voice chat plugins or way to add one?
you could have a voice chat going

ppl do set routine. could allow a caller if req'd, could voice answer any text questions or comments.

in between shows it resorts to a general voice server host

Oh here's a good one: Write a story in 30 minutes/an hour. We PM you when we're ready, you give the same title to everyone and we have to PM it back within the limit. I'd rdefinitely be down for that.

that sounds like fun.

let me see how we can do it for it to be completely fair asnd above board.


(shit i forgot, im an admin and all i have to do is hack your accounts and read your pm's and eat the hearts of your first born child).

Nah.....that sucks. I wouldn't like the idea of a timed writing. This is a laid back venue after all.....

SO timed writing...... That WILL be a challenge for me.... I think when I write.... and that makes me write slow..... THis too could be cool... can't wait to read your story triangle.

So which way shall we go? Triangle already has his 30 minute story up. Shall we do that or something else?

I am not a good writer so I would never participate in these contests, but I thoroughly enjoy the stories of the usual writers here.

I was thinking it would be interesting to see where a story goes if someone else were to finish it.

For example... someone writes the first chapter (so many words or less) and then a second writer does the second chapter etc.

You could base the order for chapters based on the votes of the last competition.

Voters could select the chapter they liked best.

Just a thought, I have been waiting for your next ideas and since no one had any thought I'd give you a poke :D

Seconded by Pam!!!!!!!!!

Now we just need the story outline and a new thread and some rules and fuck the contest everyone is a winner!

I'll do Chapter 2 if no-one else steps up in the next hour.

Great initiative Pam!

Just as a thought, I reckon 500 words is about right. ;)

Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn!!!! Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn!!! Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn!!! That cult would never die till the stars came right again, and the secret priests would take great Cthulhu from His tomb to revive His subjects and resume His rule of earth. The time would be easy to know, for then mankind would have become as the Great Old Ones; free and wild and beyond good and evil, with laws and morals thrown aside and all men shouting and killing and revelling in joy. Then the liberated Old Ones would teach them new ways to shout and kill and revel and enjoy themselves, and all the earth would flame with a holocaust of ecstasy and freedom.

I'm not very creative. So, I won't be a contestant. But I do love to read cliterature. That would be a great theme.
