New Writing Community?
My co-writer and I were talking, and the need for a different sort of prompt community came up. Before we started it, however, we thought we'd throw the idea out there and see if there was any interest at all.

One the biggest problems we find with prompt communities is their claim systems. They all want you to focus on one thing and one thing only--whether it be a character, a pairing, a fandom, or even a genre. In our opinion, what you should be concentrating on is writing, period. The opportunity to leap from topic to topic as inspiration moves us is part of what keeps our daily totals high. We feel that a prompt community structured to back that sort of writing process would benefit other tale-spinners, too. Instead of claiming a character, for example, they would choose to work one table out of many sets of prompts instead. The only real claims they might be making are how long they want each piece to be, or how long a period of time they are giving themselves to complete the entire table, both of which they would decide themselves--or it might be a NaNo type thing.

Thoughts?
