RULE OF 3 BLOGFEST 2011

Welcome to Renaissance.

Participating writers create stories based in Renaissance.. There must be THREE main characters; we have supplied the world and will supply weekly prompts. Once a week the blogfest writers will add a chapter of their tale - focusing on ONE main character at a time  - for three weeks. The fourth week brings the conclusion of the tale, whatever that might be.

ANY genre or style. ANY time period.


The original  October 2011 announcement, guidelines, prize information and complete details can be found here or by visiting any of the host blogs. I encourage you to visit the other blogs, and to join us as a writer and/or follow/comment/support us as a reader.


**********************************************************
General Rules: October 2011
Maximum word count each post is 600. You may use less.
You must choose at least one prompt per week from the choices we give you.
You must have 3 main characters. Each week, choose a different one to highlight. Your week 4 story will tie everything together. You may, of course, have secondary characters.
Include your choice of prompt and word count with your posted story each week.
One entry per person/link. If 2 or more people write for the same blog, you still may only post one REN3 entry.
The story must take place in Renaissance and its environs. You may incorporate/mention other places, but your story should be primarily about Renaissance.
You may not publish your stories elsewhere unless specific references to the shared world of Renaissance are removed.  Please respect our intellectual property rights.
