Hello Sanctum Dwellers!!!

As many of you know (and the rest of you soon will), the start of April marks the Sanctum's birthday. This site is turning four years old and to celebrate, we thought we'd try an entirely new, often requested type of Writing Challenge for this month:

GROUPS!!!

Starting from the following prompt, you can work in groups from 2-4 to generate a story. How the rest is arranged is explained below, for now, your prompt!

You waken in a darkened meadow, head aching, with no memory of how you got there or what might be rustling in the brush behind you...

As always, our general challenge stipulations apply. You are free to do anything you like with this story so long as it attempts the prompt. All details are entirely up to you and your group.

Now, as for the groups, here's how that will work:

1. We are setting a deadline of April 18th to form a group. That will leave just under a week to prepare your entry, but we strongly recommend that you start EARLY so that you can finish before the deadline.


2. Each user may only be a member of 1 group. Groups cannot exceed 4 members. If there is a need for replacement or you want to let someone new in, please let the admins know as soon as possible. The deadline for this is also the 18th

3. In order to write the entry, each group will be given a subforum. These subforums will have a thread prefix for "Challenge Submission". The thread with that prefix will be your entry and can be written like a roleplay thread. Another prefix has been made for any OOC threads you want to make, either for plotting or for sharing rough drafts.

4. In order to request a subforum, please have one member of your group post in this thread: https://writerssanctum.com/threads/group-requests.16633/

5. When the deadline is reached, every entry thread will be moved into the challenge forum for voting. The subforums themselves will be removed afterwards, so if you want to keep anything, please let us know so we can move any OOC threads.

The final submission deadline will be Sunday, April 26th. The winning group will all receive a special medal for the win and have their thread featured for the month of May.

Good luck, good writing and happy birthday to the Sanctum!!!
