WOTM: Theme Suggestions

[Sinrus]

Oooh, middle/old English... that could be interesting as a component!

I'm going to be unnecessarily nitpicky and point out that Middle and Old English look like this, respectively:

Forrþrihht anan se time comm
þatt ure Drihhtin wollde
ben borenn i þiss middellærd
forr all mannkinne nede
he chæs himm sone kinnessmenn
all swillke summ he wollde
& whær he wollde borenn ben
he chæs all att hiss wille.

and

Þa cydde man me, þæt us mara hearm to fundode, þonne us wel licode: and þa for ic me sylf mid þam mannum þe me mid foron into Denmearcon, þe eow mæst hearm of com: and þæt hæbbe mid godes fultume forene forfangen, þæt eow næfre heonon forð þanon nan unfrið to ne cymð, þa hwile þe ge me rihtlice healdað and min lif byð.

Clearly, you mean Shakespearian English (which is technically Modern English, but using some archaic words)

[Dudel]

And completely prevent any foreigner (non-native English speaker) from competing. It's a miracle I can speak/write English fluently -- do you really expect me to be able to write an obsolete version of it?

As a component, no it doesn't. There would be several others to pick from.

As a theme it does, yes.

I'm WAY ahead of you Hank. I'm on your side, man, I'm on your side.

Sinrus: Pffft

What about a song? Well lyrics. Make the writer tell a story through the writing.

So basically a poem?

[Ezrath]

Eh I personally feel there's a difference. But yeah except more... intense, I guess.

[Narissa DeWitte]

an interesting exchange of ideas taking place... whatever the first installment of the new contests is, I look forward to meeting the challenge.

Lyrics = Poetry put to song. Any instruments set the beat and tone, whilst the singer brings in the words to take the song from a generalized tune to an individualized tune.

I've never written any, but I understand how they work. I took music literature classes for one and a half years. The reason I didn't take them longer is because there were no more music lit classes for me to pursue.

[Kadaeux]

Hmm, to throw an idea into the hat.

A tale of creation and destruction. Competing forces working together through the narrative to create a balance from diametric opposition.

[Alkeni Synair]

Two extemely powerful beings that hate eachother meet in a busy coffee shop and simply talk


Well, there's like three aspects in there, each of which could be used on their own

[Memory]

Lol I wanted to enter my poem but it's been on here for like...ForEver
