It has been brought to my attention that multiple members of our community have been made uncomfortable, feel unsafe, or otherwise by an individual I’ll only go so far to name as Panda. When word gets to the person they will know it’s directed towards them but if anyone reading this personally doesn’t know who panda is, don’t worry about it, this post doesn’t pertain to you.

Anyway, the point of this post is that Panda is being banned from Vegastuck.

This has been weighed and discussed for enough time that I’m thinking this is for the best of both the individual and the group, as there have been threats flying and I’d rather not wait for them to happen.

THANKSGIVING MEETUP

will be held, here is the information

Here is a disclaimer, sometimes the group moves spots! If we have and you cant find the group, please contact me, I check my tumblr often at meetups just in case anyone gets lost! I put my personal blog so you can just message me, but if you're more comfortable with the main blog you can send questions here as well.

If you can, bring some food! This is a potluck, like every year! If you’d like to send a message saying what you’ll bring beforehand that’s totally welcome too!

How to... Plot!

(Source)

So you want to learn how to plot? Or rather, come up with a plot? If only it was as easy as movie villains make out!

I'm going to focus on using prompts to come up with plots. A good place to start is with one of the many prompt generators that are out there in the world. One I use is this one, which randomly generates scenarios and lets you shuffle it until you find one you like. Another is this site. Whilst it is labelled as OTP prompts, you can use it for your own characters. Although these may only give you ideas for short stories, and you might want to write a long one, you’ll be surprised what comes out of it. A prompt about a taxi driver receiving a cryptic letter might result in a massive series about a dimension-jumping taxi driver with godly patrons setting out on a quest to find his lobster.

I realise if everyone is writing, then you are all long past learning the alphabet, but bear with me. I used a chart similar to this at a writing course, although that chart was a Victorian one that was teaching Chinese people how to write and say English words (I still have it but can’t find it for the life of me!). The idea was that you had to write a story by picking a starting square on one side of the chart, and had to make it to the other side by making a path of squares to get there. The squares have to be touching, you can’t move diagonally, you can go in any direction you want, and your path can be as long or as short as you want. This is obviously not the only alphabet chart, and you can probably use ones for other languages, so go out there and find one you like!

Another idea is postcards. If a picture paints a thousand words, then a postcard is priceless. You can use ones which are pictures of the local area, photos of random objects, or cartoony ones. This blog also posts images frequently.

Sitting in coffee shops, libraries, lectures (though technically you should be note-taking in those!), and buses create brilliant opportunities for people watching. Is the man glancing anxiously at the door waiting for a lover, a contact, or looking over his shoulder for his past troubles? Is the woman who hasn’t left her seat in the library for ten hours really revising, or is she conducting a secret experiment for a foreign government?

Unfortunately, the only other way to come up with a plot idea is to wait for inspiration to hit! Just have a notepad with you at all times, keep an ear out for conversations, an eye out for happenings, and a pen in your hand.

December is here! along with a December meetup! Vegastuck and Nevadastuck have teamed up to bring you Holidaystuck! The theme this month is holiday crossover characters! I wanna see some cute reindeers and santas, maybe someone will come as a dreidel crossover? Be creative ! this event there will be both a white elephant gift echange, and before that, a small costume contest! 

White Elephant is starting at 1 pm, and the costume contest will be at 3 pm!

There are three categories for the contest: Funny, Creative, and most festive!! There will be one winner for each category, and nevadastuck is providing prizes! There won’t be acts, just come do a cute walk, show your costume off. If it’s technical you can have some time to explain how everything was made.

Edit: the costume contest will be overseen by the nevadastuck admins, so please direct your questions to them!

The white elephant gift exchange will be held directly before that. How it works is similar to secret santa, you come with a gift (please keep it $10 & under) and sign your name or nickname or whatever you want us to call you on a list on a clipboard that I (admin dp) will b holding out with me until it happens. Then we’ll bring out the presents and call names for people to get them, one at a time. You’re welcome to exchange them after you get them with the other people who entered if ur both wanting to do so 

Location: Desert Breeze Park

date: 12/19/15

time: 12 (noon) - 5 pm

Heres where in the park we’ll meet up:

Can’t wait to see u there!

Thanksgivingstuck meetup!

posting the info for the traditional Thanksgiving meetup in advance!

Btw the theme this year is ugly sweaters. If you don’t want to dress with the theme you don’t have to but I think it’d be cute, and also you might want to bring something just in case it gets cold.

Date: November 28th

Time: 12 pm-6:30 pm

Location:  Sunset park, just like last year.

The rules are the same as the page rules always were, regardless of whether you actually follow them, but please try to respect your surroundings in general. Please seal your paint if you have any and if you havent but are comfortable with it, I’ll bring some baby powder just in case.

It’s a potluck, so if you have food you’d like to share, please do!! That being said, if you’d rather buy food there, there is a 7/11, McDonalds, & Taco Bell in the vacinity.

we are meeting in the part of the park I circled, near a parking lot and a set of bathrooms that you will most likely be able to see us at. 

If you have any questions or can’t find us when you get to the park feel free to message this blog, or my personal blog off anon for further information. Hope to see you there, I’m super ready!
