Scratch

For the writing contest a Monthly short story contest with themes? Eg. a starting sentence or a theme ect?

Mint was doing the competitions, and mint knows what mints doing, and I'm avoiding asking (mint may know but I don't, there was something about book covers)
in the chapter by chapter thing, you just have a starting chapter, and then people add a chapter each and see where the story goes. You restart every two months.
Cheese, I don't think humhum would mind if you copied the contents of the old library. You do it, and if there's something wrong with that, she can take it out on me later, and I'll say it was me not you    but I don't think there'd be a problem anyway.
Cheese you are doing astoundingly brilliantly with this library. I am amazed    .
And please, choose a banner, pick a banner, use two, three, I don't care, they're all for the same collab, and they don't say 'library' or 'competitions' on them or anything.   
whisper, if you start and run the chapter by chapter thread, and link us to it, and mint, you do the same with the competitions, I'll start up this thread of ours. The main thread should be focused around the collaborative making of scratch ebooks. I'll explain it all in the first post. And I should add to these banners. There should be one saying 'librarian' on it and one saying 'competitions' and one saying 'chapters' and one saying 'person who fails at sounding organised'.    that way we know we're important.   
and cheese, I don't know about exclamation marks but I've used a few to many smilies as well (I think    )

I finnally made the contests! Here it is!

Waffle Facts—Animal Edition by Waffle27
(Information collected from Buzzle.com, Bats of the World, and A Joey Grows Up by Gretchen Wulfing   )

    When these strange, rabbit-like marsupials were discovered in    1770,   Captain James Cook didn’t know what to think of them. What were these pouched, sandy colored creatures? Upon asking the native locals of Australia, he got the response “Kangaroo”, or “I don’t know” in the people’s language.

    Vampire bats don’t have much room in that little body of theirs. That’s why, when vampire bats are sucking blood, they are also peeing!

    Herrings communicate by farting!

    The scientific name for a Gorilla is simply: “Gorilla Gorilla”.
   
    Bulls are color blind, thus it’s not the red color that gets it angry, but the taunting motion of the scarf.

    All polar bears are left handed.


I made a quick fact book for the library  ^^

Hey cheese is this good enough or should I change something? (This is where we post our stories for the library right?)

Whisperfur- about 100-1000 words. That's about 500 as a median, but anything within that range is fine, of course, you're running it, so you could make it whatever you want it to be. These are only suggestions, but short is good, so people feel like they can do it quickly. We want it to end up longish. Towards the ending of each double month story, start encouraging people to try and finish the story. Apart from that, try and keep posts that aren't additions to the story to a minimum. I'm trying to leave it open, so you fan have fun with it. It's just that before I can start the main thread.     
Awesome job mint! 
Odd collection of facts waffle, I knew about the polar bears and the bulls, but apart from that- remarkable!

Waffle Facts—Sleep Edition by Waffle27
(Information collected from listverse.com and randomhistory.com)

    10 minutes after you wake up, you forget 90% of your dream.

    You do not dream about yourself until the age of about 3 years old.

    The idea of the sewing machine came from a dream where cannibals attacked him with spears that had a hole in them!

    Women have more dreams about teeth then men do.

    President Abraham Lincoln dreamed of his own death days before it happened.

    You can’t snore and dream at the same time.

Interesting facts! 
I will now add it to the library!

Now there is a good idea. Use that beyond write to the death mint and you could be famous! No one has done that before- that is a brand new idea, most book ideas have copied something, but this is new, understandable, clever and catchy. You should start writing a full book to try and get published as a real book before someone gets a similar idea! I love that. That is cool, but for your sake, I won't share it with my other writing friends for your sake. You have just come up with an amazing book idea. You could make and do something out of and with that. I love it    well done!

Bump! 

I hare thinking uP characters when I have to have lots of them because of how thebplit works. In my entry there are twelve characters that all have to get used at some point. But do I use them and not let the reader know them properly, or do I use one or two and leave loads left over? It's really annoying. I could cut it down to possibly four, but that wouldn't suit the plot as well.
