Sanders Sides Word Crawl

By: shnuffeluv

Finally, my time has come! I’ve been building this puppy for months and I finally get to share it here! I want to preface this with the fact that any challenge you don’t want to do, you don’t have to do, word wars can be replaced with word sprints if you so desire, and I don’t expect anyone to complete this in a day. Now, without further ado, I present to you…a Sanders Sides crawl!

My True Identity: It’s time to introduce yourself to the world at large! Do a 5 minute sprint as you explain what you want to do with this YouTube series.

Way Too Adult: Adultery is a scary thing, but you can get through it! Sprint 300 words to kickstart your journey!

Taking on Anxiety with Lilly Singh: Your Anxiety shows up, but you will prove to both Anxiety and your Inner Editor that you won’t back down! Sprint to the nearest thousand.

A New Year of Lying to Myself…In Song: Prove to yourself that finishing your novel isn’t a bunch of lies! Do a 15 minute word war to prove you can accomplish this!

The Dark Side of Disney: Anxiety and Princey never seem to agree, or do they? Sprint for 10 minutes as the two sides debate!

I’m in a Disney Show!: Being on a Disney show is a great achievement! Do a three-digit challenge to celebrate!

The Mind vs. The Heart: When Logic and Morality clash, it can get difficult to find the right answer. Sprint for 20 minutes as you reach a compromise between the two!

Alone on Valentine’s Day: Another Valentine’s, another reminder about being alone. But your friends will always be there to support you. Do a 15 minute word war with them to boost everyone’s word count!

Losing my Motivation: Everyone is at fault, and Logic is Logan?! What?! Sprint to the nearest thousand as you try to wrap your head around this new information.

My Personality Q & A: So many questions, so little time! Sprint for 10 minutes as you answer a few questions while a few more arise.

Am I Original?: It’s hard to come up with an original idea, and it’s even harder when it has to be a good one! Do a 30 minute word war while you brainstorm. Bonus: mention something about originality in your novel! Double bonus: use the name Roman!

My Negative Thinking: Figuring out cognitive distortions is a pain, and falsehoods abound in this episode. Sprint to 300 words, one for every falsehood in the video.

Growing Up: Birthdays come and go, but adultery is forever. The problem is, are you truly “adult enough”? Sprint to the nearest thousand and keep yourself focused to see this novel through to the end, and give Patton a hug!

Making Some Changes: You need your friends nearby to support you, sometimes. While they can’t always be there, you can keep them with you in your heart! Sprint 800 words, 200 for every friend in the episode.

Becoming a Cartoon: Everyone loves the villain! Prove yourself worthy of the title by attempting a fifty-headed hydra! If you win, congratulations! If you lose, no worries, just keep swimming to the next prompt!

Accepting Anxiety Part 1 (Excepting Anxiety): Where oh where could Anxiety be? Do a 10 minute word war as you travel to Anxiety’s room.

Accepting Anxiety Part 2 (Can ANXIETY Be Good?): Everyone’s freaking out, but at least Virgil has returned! Write 478 words in celebration.

Fitting In (Hogwarts Houses): This episode is all about figuring out where you fit in, or if you want to do your own thing entirely. If you’re a Gryffindor, sprint for 10 minutes. If you’re a Ravenclaw, write 600 words. If you’re a Slytherin, do a 15 minute word war. If you’re a Hufflepuff, do a three digit challenge! If you don’t fit into any house, write for half an hour to show how awesome you are!

Moving On Part 1 (Exploring Nostalgia): Looking back on the past can be useful, but it can also have drawbacks. Sprint 650 words as you realize that you need to stay in the present.

Moving On Part 2 (Dealing with a Breakup): If you can’t move on, moving forward is the next best way to go. Write to the end of your current scene to move forward in your story.

The Sanders Sides 12 Days of Christmas: There’s just no winning on Christmas! Write for 12 minutes, and don’t forget about the truckload of Bubba Gump shrimp!

Can LYING Be Good?: If Deceit is here, then where is Patton?! Sprint 1,000 words to find your favorite father figure of the series!

Why Do We Get Out of Bed in the Morning?: Finding the right balance in life can be difficult. If you want to focus on more creative endeavors, and pants your way through the novel, sprint for 15 minutes. If you prefer to focus on the more logical things in life, and plan out your novel, write 500 words. Don’t forget to take a break and drink something, and eat if you need to!

Crofter’s (The Musical): Time for something a little silly! Relax and write through the song (found here) at your own pace.

Learning New Things About Ourselves: Discovering who you are can be a difficult process. Do a 20 minute word war as you contemplate who you are.

Embarrassing Phases (The Nightmare Instead of Christmas): There are always phases that we look back on and cringe. Sprint for 1,000 words as you learn to accept these parts of yourself.

Selfishness v. Selflessness: Deceit is a slimey boy, but at least he hates Nazis? Consider what he has to say in the court case and sprint for 45 minutes as you contemplate going to Lee and Mary-Lee’s wedding.

Dealing with INTRUSIVE THOUGHTS: Uh-oh, The Duke is here, and it looks like he isn’t going away anytime soon! Write whatever comes to mind for 20 minutes as you battle his intrusive thoughts!

again and again i find myself lamenting that audio roleplay isn't taken more seriously by some people. like yeah, they often have a romantic element, and by nature they usually directly involve/address the listener- and i totally get that those things aren't to everyone's taste. no art or entertainment is universally appealing, and that's okay! but.. it still makes me a lil sad that the "cringe" reputation of asmr/audio rp precedes it. there's a whole lot of talent and creativity being poured into these audios by so many people that i feel goes unrecognized and/or disrespected simply due to the medium that the stories are being told through.

i would say that hotd is about equal to seasons 1-3 of got for me. is it a perfect adaption of the source material? no, because there’s a reason they call asoiaf an unadaptable series. is it a perfectly written show? no, i think there are a few misses that stand out specifically bc they’re kind of puzzling when you look at how great the overall product is.

but do i still cry every time aegon cuts alicent off and asks her if she loves him and she responds with “you imbecile”? you bet your ass i do, just like i sit there wanting to peel my own face off when ned gives varys That Look and says “i learned how to die a long time ago.” it’s not a perfect product but yes i DO rewatch it constantly, absolutely i do!!

Moana Crawl

By: Imps

Here’s the Moana-themed World Crawl I put together for a past NaNo, reposted for 2018. Enjoy!

“In the beginning, there was only ocean…” It’s time to create some word “islands” in the “ocean” of your blank page! Start off with 3 minutes of writing , plain and simple.

Maui steals the Heart of Te Fiti, only for the Heart to be lost in the ocean when he is struck down by Te Ka. Sprint to 500 words as the search for the Heart of Te Fiti begins, as does your adventure as Moana.

Let’s fast-forward to Moana’s early childhood. You’re exploring the shore when you see a helpless baby turtle. Write for 5 minutes as you try to lead it to the water.

If you write fewer than 300 words, you have to fight off birds looking to make a snack of the turtle. Write for 3 more minutes as you protect the turtle.

If you write 300 words or more, things go smoothly and you’re done.

The ocean interacts with you, and gives you a strange gift that you wind up losing. You don’t get much time to look for it, because your father, the Chief of Motunui, soon shows up and takes you away. He teaches you the ways of life on Motunui. Write for the length of the song Where You Are 9 . (If you don’t want to listen while you write, or can’t access the song, it is 3 and a half minutes long.)

By the time you’re sixteen, it seems you are on track to take over as Chief. Sprint to 600 words as you help the villagers with their various problems.

Everyone is proud of you… But it turns out the call of the ocean isn’t something you can forget. Write for the length of the song How Far I’ll Go 7 . (Again, if you don’t want to or can’t listen, the song is 2 and a half minutes long.)

But you only started thinking about the ocean because of some of the problems plaguing Motuni! The biggest problem is that there are no fish to be found within the reef. Write for 5 minutes as you try to take a boat out beyond the reef.

If you write fewer than 300 words, your attempt is a disaster, and you must write 300 more words .

If you write 300 or more words … Well, you attempt is still a disaster, but it could have been a bigger one.

Grandma Tala catches you after you wash up on the shore, and reveals the secret history of Motunui. As you learn that your people were once voyagers, write for the length of the song We Know The Way 6 . (Alternatively, write for 2 and a half minutes.)

You are given the Heart of Te Fiti, which Grandma Tala has kept since your encounter with the ocean as a toddler. You had thought that was a dream! If the Heart of Te Fiti is restored, you can save Motunui… If not, all the islands of the ocean will be destroyed. Sprint to 500 words as you try to convince your father and the rest of the village to help you restore the Heart.

No one is listening to you, but when Grandma Tala passes on, you know you must take this journey, even if it’s one you’ll take alone. Your first step? Finding Maui, who must help you restore the Heart. But it’s easier said than done. You know how to get there, but you don’t know how to sail. Write for 5 minutes or have a word war as you attempt to navigate the ocean.

If you write less than 300 words or lose the word war , you must write for 3 more minutes as you try to survive a terrible storm.

If you hit 300 words or more, or win the word war , you manage to stay out of the way of the storm, but are still lost.

One way or another, you eventually end up on the island where Maui is, and meet the egotistical demigod. Write for the length of the song You’re Welcome 3 . (Alternatively, write for 3 minutes.)

Now you must convince him to help you. Sprint to 200 words until you realize Maui has taken off with your boat.

You manage to catch up with Maui – thanks, ocean! – but soon the Kakamora attack. Write for 5 minutes as you fight them off.

If you write 300 or fewer words, the battle takes a turn for the worse as their ship seems to multiply. Write an extra 100 words to finish things up.

If you write 300 or more words , you manage to scare those little coconut-armor-wearing pirates off quickly! Continue your voyage!

The next stop on this trip is Lalotai, the Realm of Monsters, where you and Maui must retrieve his hook from the crab monster Tamatoa. Write for 8 minutes during the very long fall.

If you write fewer than 500 words , you land far from Tamatoa’s lair, and must face some truly spooky monsters before reuniting with Maui. Write 200 more words as you do so.

If you write 500 or more words , you land outside Tamatoa’s lair. Good work!

Now you and Maui have to work together to get the Hook back from Tamatoa. Write for the length of the song Shiny 3 . (Alternatively, write for 3 minutes.)

Maui is impressed with how you handle yourself in Lalotai, and even agrees to teach you wayfinding. Sprint to 500 words while he shows you the ropes .

You finally deliver Maui and the Heart of Te Fiti across the ocean, and have made it to Te Fiti. Time for Maui to restore that heart! However, Te Ka is there – and your reckless attempt to get past her gets Maui’s fishhook damaged. The trust between you two is broken. Sprint to 400 words as you reflect on your actions .

When all seems lost, the spirit of Grandma Tala helps you finally see who you are and why you were chosen for this quest. Write for the length of the song I Am Moana (Song of the Ancestors) 2 . (Alternatively, write for 3 minutes.)

You will restore the Heart of Te Fiti, even if you must do it alone… But you don’t have to. Maui comes through in the end, having forgiven you and realized that he is more than just the power of his fishhook. Write for 8 minutes or have a word war as the two of you try to get to Te Fiti .

If you write less than 500 words or lose the word war, the dangerous struggle nearly seems hopeless, and Maui’s fishhook is broken in the process. Write 200 more words.

If you write 500 words or more, or win the word war, you manage to get to Te Fiti with relative ease.

Either way, something shocks you when you get to the Mother Island: she’s not there. That’s when you realize that when Te Fiti’s Heart was stolen, she became the demon Te Ka. Write 500 words as you bravely let Te Ka come to you, and return her heart.

Te Ka becomes Te Fiti once more, and after saying a heartfelt goodbye to Maui, you set sail for Motunui, where your family greets you with joy and pride. Your people start to sail again, and you take your place as Chief in your own, unique way. Write for 5 minutes . You know the way.

THIS IS SO CUTE....

I did get your ask about the baby having to somehow survive in an eyrie somewhere and i was like ah i did not think this through. but also i like to imagine some rebellious human child being put high up in a nest for time out but they've gotten so good at climbing they can't be contained... they would be a better climber than a young harpy, and harpies are very flightless for a long period of time - potentially years. so they do actually spend most of their childhood kind of stuck high up in a nest, and I could easily imagine harpy parents being very frustrated by their weird featherless baby who keeps escaping the nest because for some fucking reason it wants to see what the ground is like (weird)

a human couldn't make some of the very high-pitched vocalisations but i think they'd do a good job at finding ways to get around it, and their carers would certainly learn to understand and interpret their signals

i also didn't consider very much how a king would react to this child and i don't think it would be positive... given that kings have a reproductive role and don't like rivals, but they could be persuaded to see the benefits (???) of a human child, like perhaps access to more human wealth in the future, better relations between this flock and a town flock, etc

Some art of @ranticore's harpies from Ice Storm over Kosa, who I have been reading about non-stop for maybe 2 days. Learning about such interesting and creative worlds is always a fun time for me, I love them. I really liked the briefly mentioned idea of a wild harpy kidnapping a human baby to infiltrate a town in the future, very amusing! On the bottom left corner I wanted to explore how a human could attempt to mimic eagle harpy winglets for communication. Are those two practicing harpy manners? Does the king just really not like the kid in his flock? Did they misbehave in some way? Who knows!

Can the kid actually speak the harpies' language? I'm... not sure, I would like to think so, but maybe they sound a bit weird since surely producing the more bird-like sounds is not easy for a human. Just surviving in a place designed for winged inhabitants also cannot be easy! They must be a great climber. Or they get carried around a lot by their "parent"... Would a regular harpy even be able to fly carrying a kid?? Many questions, many fun possibilities.

Let's Talk About Pacing Our Fight Scenes.

For Fast-Paced Parts:

Short words with single syllables. Immediately > at once/ endeavour > try/ indicate > point at/ investigate > check out.

Short sentences, the shorter the better.

Partial sentences to blaze through multiple senses and actions within a few lines.

Short paragraphs

Lots of verbs.

Few adjectives and adverbs.

Cut down on -ing form of verbs, as it can make words longer

Use simple past tense

Avoid conjunctions and link words.

Avoid internal thought - your characters are irrational, ruthless and in the flow of pure action.

For Slow-Paced Parts:

Use medium/long sentences

the paragraphs are longer: three lines minimum

Include longer words with more syllables

Use adjectives and maybe a couple of adverbs.

Insert the thoughts of the PoV character.
