first ever post on a forum... ahh!
my ee2 class has 11 students - and im pretty sure we are all doing short stories.

we all handed in proposals a week ago, but i've already changed my main focus and structure.

 

[bex255]

My first ever post too =)

I'm surprised everyone else is handing in proposals and all that...
we haven't even had a formal get-together lol nevermind and scheduling of assessments...

 

[Empyrean444]

I'm doing poetry - a 'small' epic poem to be precise (3500 words). Done 2000 words thus far (wish i'd done some work in my other subjects...).

 

[Clifford]

Wow, thats impressive! I would have thought that poetry would be particulary difficult to write quickly, being so concerned about meter and whatnot.

I am from St. Leos (crickets), and we have a class of two. Its very intimate, and there is definetly simmering competitivness between us.
I am doing a short story sort of practical how-to guide to a world where language devices and concepts are taken literally and the ensuing chaos. I've written my proposal but its due in wk 2, and written a detailed plan of each setting and device....

Its a great subject, so much more freedom than the others, eh?

 

[Sayangliss]

So many people have done so much... ><
We've handed our proposal in since around week 6 of term four..

I'm doing... short story. In a class of 7.. or maybe 8... something like that. =]

And yes, it is a great subject! Terrible if you have love affairs with procrastination though.. >.>

 

[cerys]

Ahh shit. I haven't started on my MW at all.

Is anyone doing an animation or knows anyone doing one?

Or should I switch to poetry or short story since it's much easier...

 

[Yamiflea]

Hey!
Name's Felicity (Flea for short) and I plan on composing a short story as my major work. We've already had to hand in a proposal (obviously) but like most, the first idea's never drafted so I'm stuck.

 

[georgefren]

Hello. Ive finished the first draft (about 8200 words) of my short story. Only problem is im not sure if its quite up to scratch, so im gonna have to cut a LOT

omg
Same here! Wow yes, ive done my first draft which is a little under 8000 and feel exactly the same way. Hmm maybe with few hundred drafts and edits...it'll be good enough?

 

[hopscotchiscool]

Heya all.

I'm doing short stories too. Was thinking of video, but that's what I'm doing for art already. I don't think I'm strong enough to do two. Though, that would be massively awesome and fantastic, had I the time and strength for it.

 

[Isiebeau]

Hey I'm Izzy. Doing Ext Two and loving it. I decided on Short Stories..

We've done the proposal and my teacher emailed our results over Christmas. I got 9/10 so I'm pretty happy, can't have asked for anything better on a proposal ..not with my teacher anyway.
I've written up bits and pieces of multiple short stories, just drafts, nothing brilliant - I should probably do a bit more lol put some fingers to key stroke..

 

[chingyloke]

so many people have already done first drafts. jeez. i haven't even started my first proposal yet.

there are two in my class. i'm doing a short story on conflict and the human condition. my mate is doing a critical response on gaming as a visual medium (that's cheating...he gets to play games for schoolwork).

anyway. i've decided i'm going to do my proposal right now...jsut cause all you people have inspired me.

 

[blabla91]

I always hear that not many people do speeches but geesh im hard pressed to find even a mention of it on this site! well funnily enough im doing speech in a class of 6... 2 plays, 2 short stories, 1 critical response and me

ive completed a very rough draft, just hoping it improves massively coz past examples are really intimidating.

I love the subject but hate internal marks.. how can they assess you on such a subjective process!?

 

[rant]

heh our proposal drafts aren't even due until schools starts again.

I've almost finished my first MW draft and my first journal.

I'm not sure if I have posted in here yet, but due to extreme laziness and an odd limited form of procrastination where I feel that if I take short-cuts in my time wasting it isnt as bad... either way, I'm not trudging back too far through the thread, so if I did write twice just dismiss me as over eager.

My name is Jim, I'm from a class of two and am writing a short story about a chap who is in an odd world where devices and concepts of language are taken literally and whatnot.
Proposal due next week, 1st draft done but I hate it and am not sure if I still like what I've done.

that sounds like a fantastically awesome concept... have you by any chance read jasper fforde? i REALLY recommend him, he seems to go along a similar line to you in this weird, awesomely literary pomo ridiculous world with pastiche and blahblah.. very clever.

 

[Isiebeau]

I've read Fforde. He's great. You should try Robert Rankin also, particularly 'The Hollow Chocolate Bunnies of the Apocalypse.' It's brilliant, my favourite PostM Absurdist novel.

 

[accio.brain]

Hello. Ive finished the first draft (about 8200 words) of my short story.

Oh, my gosh.

Well done on doing a first draft already but wow..

 

[Skizzors]

Heya, I have 17 people in my class. I was going to do speeches, but I have just changed my mind so I am now doing a short story. And my proposal is due next week. Which is a bit scary.
