A Society of Two People
Nov. 24th, 2014 11:26 pmHey look, a post that's unrelated to sims! And it's about university life!
Basically, I joined my university's creative writing society, and we meet pretty much every week to play small writing games, or share things we've already written, etc. We were working on a piece to send to the university newspaper, but there's a slight problem...
We're down to two members. The president, and myself. Other people very occasionally show up, but most weeks it's just the two of us, usually playing some sort of game involving writing a piece based on a picture, or a piece of music. Which is pretty good. It does mean, however, that the collaboration piece planned for the paper is off, and instead two smaller pieces will be submitted - one of which is mine!! - and one from the president himself.
It's still fun, and still productive, but we'd prefer it if we had more members. Especially as we need to have at least three members by the end of the academic year, otherwise the society won't exisit next year, as the current president graduates and it will just be me.
We're currently trying to recruit people, and I'm in charge of designing posters to put up in the new year to try and attract some new members. We're also planning to play with the "Storytellers" image - at the moment, we just write, but of course, there are other methods of storytelling, like drama and cartoons, etc. These 'alternative' storytelling methods are going to be our attempt to recruit people.
So my question is, what other methods of storytelling can you think of?
