So it's very early in the morning, I couldn't sleep anymore and in trying to find something to occupy myself I came across this idea and decided that I would give it a go. This idea is mostly born of a mental stall but I'm hoping that it will be fun and useful for any who choose to participate.
The Goal of this Thread:
Here I invite anyone interested to join me in creative writing exercises. The premise is that someone (I will give a starter) will suggest a subject and any who wish can submit a writing on said subject. I hope that someone else out there is interested!
Guidelines:
All posts most meet expectations posted on Art, Music, and Writing Rules.
Any writing on a posted subject will be welcomed, these should be: descriptive paragraphs, poems, or short stories. Short stories should be posted as links to their location so as to avoid extremely long posts. Constructive criticism and encouragement are also welcome as long as they aren't spam. Please look for the most recently posted subject before submitting writings.
When the time comes for suggesting a subject I will maintain the right to veto any I don't feel are appropriate. I want this to remain a creative thread, not a debate thread, I will thus shoot down any subjects concerning politics or religion. Any other subjects that do not breech forum rules will be acceptable. Once there are a few people involved (assuming there is any interest) I will arrange for subjects to be voted on by participants. I will ask that subject suggestions be sent to my profile. Thank You!
Starter Subject: An apple.
The crisp red skin of the apple gives way with a snap as she bites into it, revealing the soft white flesh contained within. The sweet juices rush to meet her tongue as she chews, savoring every droplet of flavor. Every bite brings more of the apples succulent aroma. Every tear of her teeth releases more of the tangy juice. Soon she is wiping juice from her chin and licking it from her fingers, reluctant to waste even a drop of it's powerful elixir. The apple's flesh is gradually torn away and only the core remains in the end.
So, I know that's not much of a starter but like I said this is an idea born of a mental stall. So show me what you've got people! Thanks!
Wow, your paragraph is very well written, a great amount of details but not over done. I'll try to find some time to right about an apple. Here is my Haiku (I love them little boogers)
Floating in a tree A brilliant red apple But to high to reach
Yeah, not great >.< but hey give me credit, it didn't have anything to do with a dead person
Alright, this seems like a fun way to improve my writing...
An Apple [i]Has I reach my hand up to grab the bright fuji apple. Has I stretch my arm up farther, I finally grab the apple. I open my mouth, and sink my teeth into the crisp, and tasty fuji apple.

Eh *shrugs* There aren't really any fails here just learning experiances. Wow, that sounds really cheesy but it's essentially true. I just had one question. Did you mean 'As' where you wrote 'Has'?
Idun with the golden hair stood before the gods. Her blinding smile and youthful face lit up the great hall of Valhalla as she offered an apple to the Asa. One by one they took her offerings, already feeling the slavery of time trotting closer with the speed of Sleipnir. Even though they were of age, they never felt the bonds of mortality as strong as they did just before the first bite of the life giving apple. Even so, there was a hesitation. This was a moment of silence and honour, and as much as Idun brought the offerings to the gods, as much they needed her and her apples, and they would not be able to live without either. Then they in unison took a bite and felt the sand in the hourglass run back up once more.
Nice, throwing down some Norse, those were the golden apples right? I think in one tale Loki hid them, hmm gotta refresh myself.
Well, it is my ancestors' belief anyway. And once Loki stole the apples and gave them to a ... I have no idea what to call them in English > < Anyway, big chaos, so much trouble... As always.
Was the only thing I could come up with, when it comes to apples, really > <...
