Ok, I am going to propose a fun little challenge for any willing artists out there. If you are not familiar with the improv game, Word at a Time Story is a word association game where you play with a number of players and sort of fill in the blank. Each player normally in this game supplies a single word and you fill in a story this way each contributing a little at a time.
What I am proposing is that we receive a number of willing artists to play a little game. We then take turns making a signature that expands on a story. We will go in turn order and make a story by means of creating signatures to further a plot as we see fit. When the person before you posts their submission, you have 24 hours to post your submission or you are passed. We create a story out of these signatures in the traditional means of Word at a Time Story style adding to the prior additions. Considering making a signature will likely take some time I would recommend adding something of merit such as an action but leave it open ended as to what the follow up to it will be. For instance perhaps there is a nock at the door. The next person might open the door to reveal a zombie. The next person after that might show the characters having tea with a zombie. Try to leave open ended following unless you are the end of the game. I suppose there is also a challenge in continuing a game from what appears to be a dead end though as well so wherever you really want to go I suppose. The objective is to create a story primarily through action but each person beyond you might interpret your actions differently or move the direction of your action to something else.
To get something like this started, we will likely need at least 3-4 willing artists and the first contest will go for lets say three entries apace. If we receive more than 4 willing artists we will stretch it out a bit longer but probably cap at 6 people for this first contest assuming we even get anything close to that sort of interest.
Please post here if you have comments on this or are interested in participating. I am going to try to take a sign up sheet for those interested and once we receive enough interest we will begin by picking a magic related character to base our game on.

I have officially moved to MTGNexus. I just wanted to let people know as my response time to salvation decks being bumped is very hit or miss.
