Catching fire word crawl



Here is a Catching fire word crawl! 1 2 3 write!
To celebrate your victory in the 74th annual Hunger Games, write as many words as you can in 74 seconds to get started.
To decide which district you are from, use a random number generator like this one or roll two six-sided die. To show your district pride, multiply this number by 100 and sprint to this many words (For example, District 6 would write 600 words).



TRAINING

Watching this year’s Quarter Quell announcement, you discover that the terms for the 75th Hunger Games mandates that the tributes will be reaped from the existing pool of victors. This means, that as the only winner of your gender from your district, you will be going back in. Terrified, you begin training.
To develop your survival skills, write to the nearest 1000 in your word count.
Build your muscles by writing for 30 minutes.
If you write 0-500 words, you break your leg during training and cannot complete any other training exercises while it heals. Continue straight to the Reaping.
If you write 500-999 words, you train hard, but don’t make much progress. There is no penalty but no reward, either.
If you write 1000+ words, you will have an advantage in the games and earn one do-over.
To help you escape danger, practice sprinting. Try to complete a 50-word one minute sprint, a 100-word 3-minute sprint, and a 250 word 5-minute sprint.
If you fail at all three, you give up on training and move straight to the reaping.
If you succeed on one, continue training with no penalty.
If you succeed in at least two of the sprints, take a do-over.
If you succeed in all three, take a do-over and add one point to your training score when you reach the capital.
Finally, work on your ability to hide. Round your word count up to the nearest 100 and take a free do-over.



REAPING

You stand on the platform waiting to find out who your competition will be. You look over at the pool of victors. These are people you have known your entire life, and at most, only one of you can survive.
The representative from the capital reads your name aloud. To calm your nerves, write until you’ve used every letter from your name. (No cheating and adding a title page or a self-named character!)
The representative then calls the name of your partner. It seems like this takes forever. Sprint for 10 minutes while you wait for the results.
If you write 0-500 words, they draw a name of your enemy who is much larger than you. Write another 200 words to gain confidence before you can move on.
If you write 500-750 words, they draw the name of someone you recognize but don’t know very well. There is no penalty.
If you write more than 750 words, they draw someone who will be your ally. If needed, this ally will sacrifice themselves in the arena and give you a do-over.



THE CAPITAL
You are rushed onto the train and don’t get a chance to say goodbye. To console yourself, write for 30 minutes with no word goal while you ride on the train.
Arriving in the capital, you are invited to the party at President Snow’s house. Write for 5 minutes to see how the party goes.
If you write 0-250 words, you eat until you vomit. Subtract two points from your upcoming training score.
If you write 250-500 words, there is no penalty.
If you write 500+ words, add two points to your training score.
You meet your stylist, who is friendly but very brave. If you have a cover uploaded for your book before this challenge, you are fashion forward and win a do-over. If you do not have a cover but write 250 words and upload one now, you can still earn the do-over. If you choose not to have a cover, you arrive to the parade naked and have to hide in your chariot. No do-over for naked tributes.
You work to impress the judges during training. Determine your training score by the following: Write for 15 minutes without stopping. Divide your word count by 100 and round down to the nearest whole number to determine your score. The highest possible score is a 12.
If you score a 0-4, you suffer from low morale and must add 100 words to your next goal.
If you score a 4-8, you are satisfied with your score and proceed as normal.
If you earn a 9-12, your pride can get you out of a sticky situation and you win a do-over.



THE ARENA

The arena is a watery wheel surrounded by twelve evenly divided beach and jungle sections. You find yourself standing on a platform in the water halfway between the cornucopia and the beach.
You have 60-seconds to devise your plan. Write for 60-seconds while you decide what to do.
If you write 0-30 words, you nervously jump off the platform and explode before your time is up.
If you write 31-59 words, you grab the two items closest to you and run for cover. If you can write an additional 400 words in the next ten minutes, you make a clean escape. If not, you are killed by another tribute with a trident.
If you write 60+ words, you bravely run into the blood bath. If you can write an additional 250 words in the next five minutes, you survive. If not, you are shot by an arrow through the heart.
Section One: You are camping safely in the jungle when you hear a large beast approaching. You need to run as fast as you can. If you can write 1,000 words in 30 minutes, you safely escape. If not, it eats you.
Section Two: After a good night’s rest, you are walking calmly through the jungle when you are surrounded by poisonous mist! Without looking at your word count (cover it if you have to!) write for ten minutes while you try to escape the mist. When finished, add the digits of your word count together. For example, if you wrote 649 words, you would have 19 points (6+4+9). If the mist has dissolved your point total to less than a 15, you die. If you score more than a 15, you live.
Section Three: You have realized the arena is a clock! Look at the current time- it tells you how many words you need to write in the next 30 minutes. (For example, if it’s 7:19, you need to write 719 words). If you succeed, you receive a parachute from your sponsor with a do-over inside. If you make at least half of your word count, there is no penalty. Less than half? You misread the clock, walk into the wrong section, and die.
Section Four: The Jabberjays shout at you about how terrible your writing is (no worries, the Capital told them to lie.)Find the most difficult problem spot in your novel- the one that has been intimidating you or that you’ve been avoiding. Finish the scene in under 30 minutes and you make it out. Fail, and the Jabberjays win and take one of your do-overs.
Section Five: The blood rain makes it impossible to see. Write for ten minutes without editing or rereading. The blood rain won’t kill you, but it’s not fun.
Optional: If you complete this activity without looking at your screen at all, earn a do-over for your bravery.
Section Six: You’re fishing on the beach when a large wave approaches. Swim like your life depends on it for three minutes. If you write at least 250 words, you live! If not, you drown.
Section Seven: Lightning strikes nearby! Write for five minutes without looking at your word count. If you write an even number, you aren’t struck and live. If you write an odd number, you are electrocuted and die.
Oh no! The cornucopia has spun and changed all of the sections!! Use a random-number generator to figure out which section (1-7) you end up in by accident and repeat only that section.



THE ESCAPE
District 13 arrives to save everyone! You rush towards the hover craft. Write until your word count ends in a 13; if you manage it in less than a minute, you make it onto the hover craft and are saved! If not, they leave you behind and the capital captures you.
You made it! Write for 13 minutes to celebrate your new District 13 friends.

Hunger games word crawl

Here is a Hunger games word crawl! have fun! 1 2 3 write

STAGE 1 - IN THE DISTRICT
Reaping Day: It's that time of year again. Head over to the District Square and try not to think about your chances. Do a three minute sprint. The number of words you manage is the number of times your name is in the Reaping bowl.
Goodbye: Well, it seems the odds weren't in your favor. You're now a tribute for your district. Do another three minute sprint to say goodbye to your friends and family -- you're probably not coming back.
Train Ride: What district are you from, again? Go to a random number generator (like this one) and get a number from 1 to 12. Sprint that many hundred words to show some district pride! For example, district 1 sprints 100, district 2 sprints 200, etc.
Optional: If you sprint a thousand times your district number, you have useful survival skills already, and will have a definite edge in the arena. You can do-over one challenge that you fail without losing.

STAGE 2 - PREP WEEK
Opening Ceremonies: Your stylist has some...interesting ideas about your chariot costumes. You have a half hour to reach your district goal (district number x 100). If you succeed, everyone loves your costumes and can't stop talking about your style. Gain one do-over. If you fail, you look ridiculous, but you won't be penalized... yet.
Training Days: You have three days to train your body and mind for the arena. Sprint to the nearest thousand to round out your skills.
Private Session: Time to face the judges. You have 15 minutes to put down as many words as you can. Round down to the nearest hundred -- that's your training score. 1-3 will receive a penalty: you get no bonus from the interview section below. 4-6 receive nothing. 7-9 get one do-over. 10-12 get two do-overs.
Interview: Wow, you look fantastic! Time to woo the crowd. Sprint to the end of the scene you're on. Take a free do-over as well. Caesar really brings out everyone's best side.

STAGE 3 - THE GAMES
Hovercraft: You're flying blind -- the Capitol doesn't want anyone to see the arena yet. Type for ten minutes with your eyes shut.
Launch: You're on your pedestal. Enjoy your last moments of relative safety. You have one minute to reach 50 words. If you fail, you twitch nervously, step off your plate too early, and get blown to smithereens. Game over.
Bloodbath: Do you stay and fight for your supplies, or do you grab what you can and run? If you do the former, do a #1k30min (to put it in Twitter parlance). Succeed, and you get a do-over. If you do the latter, you have an hour. Fail either task and another tribute kills you. Game over.
Day 2: You've survived one day, but it's only going to get harder from here on out. The Capitol decides you're being boring today and sends a Fifty-Headed Hydra your way. 500+ words in 5 minutes, the sponsors are impressed. You get a do-over. If not, you are badly wounded. Double your next word count goal, and try to do 250 in five minutes. If you succeed, you live with your penalty. If not, you succumb to the poison. Game over.
Day 3: If you have a do-over to burn, skip this challenge. If not, you're running out of water and need to find some -- fast. Write 100 words and roll a six-sided die. If you get a one, you find water and succeed. If you don't, write 200 and roll again. Same odds. Repeat until you hit 1000. If you haven't gotten water by then, you die of dehydration. Game over.
Day 4: You've been spotted by a vicious tribute. Get ready to run. Word War with someone for 10 minutes. If you win, you get away. If you lose, well. I'm sure you can figure out what happens. Game over.
Day 5: It's slow today, for some reason. This can't be good. Nevertheless, enjoy a brief rest by writing for three hours without a goal.
Day 6: It was quiet yesterday because the Capitol poured acid rain in a part of the arena that you weren't in. Good call. You stumble across the body of a fellow tribute who wasn't as lucky. Do a Three Digits challenge in half an hour. If you succeed, you find lots of supplies on her and gain a do-over. If you fail, all her items were eaten away by acid. Oh well, at least you aren't dead.
Day 7: This is it. You've made it to the end of the games. Only one tribute stands between you and victory. Word War with someone for an hour, with this Epic Music in the background. Winner takes all.

Clean your room word crawl



Here is a clean your room word crawl! 1 2 3 write!

Glad to see you've finally decided to get out of bed and clean your room. Write 100 words as you hop out of bed- and then proceed to make your bed.

Wow! Looking much better with those pillows off the floor. But there’s still trash everywhere. Count the number of pieces of trash as you throw them away, then multiply that number by 100 and write that many words.

Okay, nice. Your room is starting to look less like a pigsty, so that’s cool, but it also looks more like the backstage of a fashion show with all those clothes everywhere. Toss that dirty laundry into the washer, and then sit back down and write for the whole wash cycle.

Okay, now where are those plot notes? Buried under that mountain of old essays and homework, of course. Outline your next scene, and then organize all that junk in your work area. (If you’ve already outlined all your scenes, take the number of scenes you’ve already written and sprint for that many minutes.)

Now we’re looking spiffy. Oh- and your laundry’s washed! Pop that laundry into the dryer and then take a quick glance at the rest of your notes, just to make sure your plot won’t dry up… (If you have no notes, sprint to the next thousand.)

-Dance party until your laundry is done-

Wow, your laundry’s dry already? Time flies when you’re having fun, I guess. Fold your laundry, and then put it away.

You got a great idea as you were folding your laundry. I’m sure you can fit a sock monster into your novel somehow… Sprint to 500. Bonus prompt: A character tells a story about some wacky creature and claims it as true (example: getting attacked by a sock monster, which totally happened).

Oh no. You totally forgot where you put your calculator. How will you know how many words you have left today? Organize one item of furniture (dresser, bookshelf, nightstand, etc.) as you hunt down your calculator.

Nice! You tracked it down! But it seems those dust bunnies have also tracked you down- Sprint for ten minutes to outrun them.
If you write more than 250 words: you’ve found a vacuum! Go ahead and beat up those dust bunnies with it by vacuuming your room.
If you write less than 250 words: Oh no! They’ve got you! Sprint for five more minutes as you frantically search for a vacuum to suck those bunnies up and away.

If you succeed: You make it out of the deadly plant without a scratch and even spot a Galleon on the ground. What luck!
If you fail: Hermione has to set the plant on fire to get you out alive. She thinks very poorly of your skills now, so write another 300 words to impress her.

Harry catches a flying key and opens a large wooden door. Inside the next room is a giant wizard chess set. You and your friends need to replace some of the pieces and play the game. Ron takes the place of a knight, Harry becomes a bishop, and Hermione takes over for a rook. Pick a chess piece and complete the challenge below!

Dumbledore awards you fifty points for your courage. Write for five minutes as your peers congratulate and admire you.
