ThemeMonday has a simple premise; a group of like-minded people change their avatars on or around the second Monday of every month, to a theme chosen by them after shortlisting and then a vote.
+
Write a single-post short story in response to a prompt chosen weekly (posted with the #WedC tag).
  
−
[[@blumenkraft]] set up a [https://patter.chat/room/779 #ThemeMonday chat room] for organizing - go take a look inside! The [[@ThemeMonday]] account also announces the event and helps coordinate.
+
== How it works ==
  
−
Don't forget to tell your friends!
+
Write a 1-post entry based around the week’s theme, chosen each Wednesday. Post it, remembering to include either the tag [https://pnut.io/tags/WedC #WedC] (preferred) or [https://pnut.io/tags/WednesdayChallenge #WednesdayChallenge] if your muse isn’t being helpful and you need to fill space!

== Approximate Process ==
+
=== More answers to questions ===
  
−
(Starting a week prior.)
+
* An extended version can be posted elsewhere (e.g. your own blog).
 +
* Though the challenge starts on Wednesday there are no pressures to hit deadlines - writing runs for the full week. You don’t even have to publicize your involvement, if writing is the thing that spreads your toes.
 +
* Given the 256-character post limit most people will use #WedC. The original #WednesdayChallenge tag was abbreviated in response to the inevitable observation that 14 superfluous character of tag is silly.

# Weekend: Ask for suggestions,

== History ==
−
# Thursday evening: Create poll,

# Saturday evening/Sunday morning: Announce result!

−
=== When ===
 
−
 
 
−
ThemeMonday occurs on the second Monday of every month, and is usually maintained for the following week. The poll usually happens the prior week.

* In the event of a tiebreaker being necessary @bazbt3 will roll a die. To be determined due to location-based constraints: whether a physical, electronic or totally imaginary die will be utilised.
 
−
* Effective theme recycling strategies are one key to success; participants tend to guide suggestions away from those already chosen for #ThemeMondays. However, dependence on e.g. world events, the seasons, nostalgia, etc.; all of these preclude the setting of formal rules.

[[@hutattedonmyarm]] created a small tool to see users' avatars for a given Theme Monday: https://wedro.online/roastmonday/roastmonday.php

On App.net, [[@nitinkhanna]] called for the first Wednesday Challenge{{ref|first}} and @duerig, creator of [[Patter]], suggested it be a weekly thing{{ref|first_suggestion}}. This conversation took place in the Writers Write room set up by @richardleis.{{ref|writers_room}}, who introduced the #hourofwriting{{ref|hour_of_writing}}, a similar challenge activity, during which people write at the same time for an hour non-stop.

−
To be included in the list, post with the #ThemeMonday tag, the actual tag of that Monday (e.g., #YourMugMonday), and the word "avatar".
 
−
 
 
−
  "This is my #themeMonday avatar for #YourMugMonday."

== History ==
 
  
−
* Originally proposed by [[@alicia]] and ably implemented and run by [[@berklee]], [http://bazbt3.github.io/thememonday/ #ThemeMonday] ''(an ADN Wiki page)'' was indisputably App.net's most popular regular event. [[@bazbt3]] took over from @berklee and ran it for a while. App.net closed down on March 16 2017 so most links below will cease to work, but the memories of all participants will undoubtedly remain with them forever.
+
=== Previous Prompts ===
−
* In the event of a tiebreaker being necessary, @bazbt3 previously sent a PM to [[@mlv]]'s Eliza_Bot, asking her to <code>roll 1dn</code> (where <code>n</code> was the number of tying choices.)

Revision as of 08:16, 26 June 2019

Write a single-post short story in response to a prompt chosen weekly (posted with the #WedC tag).

How it works

Write a 1-post entry based around the week’s theme, chosen each Wednesday. Post it, remembering to include either the tag #WedC (preferred) or #WednesdayChallenge if your muse isn’t being helpful and you need to fill space!

More answers to questions

  • An extended version can be posted elsewhere (e.g. your own blog).
  • Though the challenge starts on Wednesday there are no pressures to hit deadlines - writing runs for the full week. You don’t even have to publicize your involvement, if writing is the thing that spreads your toes.
  • Given the 256-character post limit most people will use #WedC. The original #WednesdayChallenge tag was abbreviated in response to the inevitable observation that 14 superfluous character of tag is silly.

History

On App.net, @nitinkhanna called for the first Wednesday Challenge[1] and @duerig, creator of Patter, suggested it be a weekly thing[2]. This conversation took place in the Writers Write room set up by @richardleis.[3], who introduced the #hourofwriting[4], a similar challenge activity, during which people write at the same time for an hour non-stop.
