Wednesday, March 20 is World Storytelling Day, and The Virtual Worlds Story Project is going to celebrate it in style with a Story Quest.
What's a Story Quest you might ask? Well it's something I've dreamed up that's designed to challenge writers of any caliber at any level. It will allow them to have a great time by immersing themselves in their stories as they write them.
Here's how it will work. There will be four genres to choose from. Once a choice is made, the writer will be given a link to a sim. At that sim he/she must find an enchanted book that contains a piece of the story the author is writing. In order to incorporate this piece, the writer will be required to interact with or immerse him/herself in some aspect of the sim. A landmark to the next sim and clue will also be given.
Once the writer has collected all the pieces, he/she can go to Karuna (the new HIV/AIDS sim) to relax, write, and turn in his/her story.
All stories are due by 5:00 pm and story readings, music, dance, and prizes will finish the day. Sound like fun? Here are the particulars:
Date: Friday, March 20th
Location: Starts on Storybook Island (http://slurl.com/secondlife/Storybook%20Island/129/70/25) and ends at Karuna with multiple stops at other sims. A notecard with LMs will be provided.
Start Time: Story Sleuths can pick up their first clues on Storybook Island (http://slurl.com/secondlife/Storybook%20Island/129/70/25) at Midnight.
End Time: The Quest
ends at 5:00 pm SLT. That is the time that stories must be submitted.
The rest of the festivities, which include story reading, live music,
and dancing commence immediately after. The awards ceremony will be
held at 7:00 pm.
