Welcome to "The Acellevin Project", allow me to explain what this is about.
First off, the background. Acellevin is the name of a fantasy world I created for a parody story, which as since become a series of parody stories, with the intention of affectionately ripping to shreds the tropes and cliches prevalent in fantasy. So far that series consists of:
- The Big Bad Book of Terrible Fantasy Writing (https://www.fictionpress.com/s/2875691/1/The-big-bad-book-of-terrible-fantasy-writing)
- The Big Bad Book of Mary-Sues (https://www.fictionpress.com/s/2921316/1/The-big-bad-book-of-MarySues)
- Blue and Raven's Five Man Band (https://www.fictionpress.com/s/2983592/1/Blue-and-Raven-s-Five-Man-Band)
- The Big Bad Book of Drabbles and Snippets (https://www.fictionpress.com/s/3124512/1/The-Big-Bad-Book-of-Drabbles-and-Snippets)
Some time over the summer I had the ever so very bright idea of writing a 100word drabble every day for a year. I had originally hoped to start this on Halloween, but was unable to get everything together in time, and so will be starting on January 1st instead.
While not every story will be set in Acellevin, the vast majority of them most likely will be, as that has become my go-to setting for short stories and the likes. As such "The Acellevin Project" seemed a fitting name.
I cannot say for definite that this attempt will be successful; it's a big project and I'm not exactly known for following things through. But 100 words per day is doable, and just because it's a big project doesn't mean I won't at least attempt it.
Each drabble will be uploaded on the Blogspot and Tumblr made for this project. Every day. For a year. And I think it's finally sunk in just what I'm taking on.
