26ⁿ - some useful info for getting started



Can I participate?
26ⁿ is open to everyone, whether you decide to participate from the beginning, or somewhere down the track - there's no one 'starting point' so it's not too late to join.
26ⁿ is aimed at enjoying what you write, it isn't important whether you consider yourself to be 'a writer' or not. There's a writer in everyone, and 26ⁿ is just about experimenting with, and enjoying, the writer in us all.

Weekly prompts
Each Monday a new prompt will be published on the 26ⁿ blog. 
Sometimes the prompts will be quite specific, other times they'll be open to greater interpretation. 
If you decide to use the prompt and write something leading from it, then simply post it up on your blog. 
If you've responded to the prompt and would like one of us to read it, please leave a comment with your blog's url. (We reserve the right to remove urls and comments that do not correspond to 26n related posts).
When possible please try to respond to the prompt before the next one is published.
When publishing your writing on your blog, please use the tag 26ⁿ

What if I miss one or more prompts?
It isn't the end of the world. Frequent participation helps to build a sense of community, but it's by no means essential.

I wrote something a while ago, it suits the prompt, so can I use it?
Well, you can, but as the idea is about exploring, experimenting and enjoying writing, then why not try to write something new?

Can I publish writing that isn't my own?
No, please just participate with your own writing, as that's what it's all about.

I have an idea for a prompt, can I share it?
Great! We'd love to hear of your prompt ideas! Feel free to e-mail them and we'll try to use them. Please tell us which name to use (and your url) when you send us a prompt idea, so we can give you credit for it and link to you if we use your prompt!


Can you link to my blog in the side-bar?
If you'd like to be included on the blog-roll of participants then please send us an e-mail telling us you'd like to be added to the sidebar and remember to include your blog's name and url - we'll add you to the list. 
(Please remember that we maintain the right to remove a url if the blog has not participated or responded to at least one 26n prompt per month.)
