CALLING ALL WRITERS! NAVARASAS SERIES Back on Track! Update Pg 1 - Page 8

Call out the emotions you want to cover, writer people!

I'm open to Disgust OBVIOUSLY Love, and pretty much anything, so, actually, dont worry about me...my brain exploded with scenarios for each of the nine, so I'm good with whatever's left--but you girls pick your favorites right now, so we dont have ten people doing Rudra (anger!)


AND READERS...PLEASE get in on this---garma garam your own favorite writers, creating one shots with the nine emotions, but we are all open to your own suggestions for what you want from us. Once a week, for the next nine (ten) weeks you'll get ONE one shot from one of us, using an emotion we've selected from the list. But the content can be influenced by you!

Suggest anything, any scene, any fantasy, any future or past or present rewrite you want. Any character you want more exploration of.An object, a feeling or a situation you want us to work on. Throw us the requests, and we'll incorporate them into the One Shots we'll each do--see which one we like and go from there!

It does 😉 So remember to tag it with mature, if it calls for it. Although, I can't say that I will heed that erm... warning?

The emotions, once again- also the list of writers is edited with thirteen, including myself- I would like to call for five more writers so we can have doubles on all the emotions! Seeing how different writers interpret the same emotion will be wonderful.

Tentative choices- these are up for changes as well:

Sringara (love/erotic)

Haasya (laughter)- Niyoti

Karuna (compassion)

Rudra (anger)

Veera (bravery)- Curledup

Bheebhatsya (disgust)- Napster

Bhayanaka (fear)- Choti

Adbhuta (surprise)

Shaanta (peace)

just found this thread...and am so overwhelmed...too stunned for words..

Am so so honored that you thought of me when you started this thread, napster-sa.

You know that I am a big fan of your work!!!

And all you lovely people (you know who you are)...thank you so much!!!!

So awed to see my name several times in this discussion!!!

I really do not think I have the calibre to write something meaningful and deep...the way I see napster-sa writing the yesterday/tomorrow series...and more recently, the goodbye series...or the way choti-si baisa wrote the peccatum series...

So very scared to attempt the navarasas...sorry!!! I really am rather apprehensive...😲

So give me some time to become a few more OSes old on this forum...and may be, just may be, some maturity in writing will come eventually?

Ok...here I was wallowing in self-pity...you see, the husband is away for a couple of weeks...

And i hate sleeping alone...

But this whole thread..this wonderful idea and all the lovely posts...after reading all this..

I cant stop grinning now!!!😊

Love you all so much!!

It means a lot to me to get all this love and motivation...after being just two stories old on the forum...

Thank you again!!!

Love

Choti,if we have white lies and the two ladies Senbon said would be joining us soon..I think Couch Potato was one of them..whats the count at? Hold the count at 18, for now, so we can do double per emotion--so saturday and sunday, one emotion, two one shots, from two different writers! And I second the one thread concept.

I think one thread per emotion would be best--every week, a new thread, with a new emotion..two stories posted into each thread, and then the readers 9 (and the writers) have at it, analyzing, commenting, even responsing to questions about what they wrote and why. I like that concept more than one long continuous thred because we can make sure everyone gets read, gets feedback damn near equally .


Some readers post once on a thread saying.."Good work. Update" and then never again---they'll see 17 other stories posted, but wont realize they can in fact give feedback to us all, and multiple posts are completely fine! We want to have the chance for readers to interact with us, tell us their feedback, dscuss why we chose what we chose, even argue with us if they dont like something...separate threads per emotion (so 9 in all, with two stories per thread) lets that breathing space happen.

And we need a week by week allocation starting with...? You?
