Write or Die
Not accepting new chains [closed]
In celebration to the scariest month ahead, we are holding a new collaboration inspired by our childhood phase “Chain Letters”.
Chain letters were popular some decades ago where because you’ve made the unfortunate mistake of opening and reading it, you are now obligated to copy and pass it on to your unfortunate ‘best friends’ or your crush will forever know your darkest secret of you wearing your underpants inside out last summer.
The idea here is to write creatively, tag a few ‘friends’ and pass them on with the consequence that if the friend fails to continue the work and pass them on further, they are listed in the “Hell of the Dead” instead of “The Living Hall”
This collaboration runs throughout the month of October, submissions will be published as they come in.
How to Play
- Create a piece (story or poem all accepted). Please use an image in your piece, because it makes our homepage look great. Ensure they are properly attributed. If you are not the image creator, include a link that shows licensing information.
- Add at least 1 person at the end of the work with this template:
[@tag the people], you have been entered to the Hell of the Dead by me. To escape to the Living Hall, you will have to recreate this piece in your own words or extend it as part of the Write or Die collaboration. Failure to comply will leave your name and soul in the Hell of the Dead.
3. Use these tags: “Write or die” “Halloween”
4. Submit it as a draft to Chalkboard and we will review and publish it as soon as we can.`
If you were tagged by someone else:
- Read through the original piece and rewrite it to a whole different piece or take a part of it to develop, you are free to change the format of the piece e.g. story to poem, and vice versa. Feel free to change the title as well.
- Add a subtitle referencing the original piece :
This piece is a Write or Die response to [link]title
- Please use an image in your piece, because it makes our homepage look great. Ensure they are properly attributed. If you are not the image creator, include a link that shows licensing information.
