Did you ever think of a great idea for the A to Z challenge, but not want to use it yourself? Perhaps it seemed like too much work for you, it didn't fit the "brand" of your blog, or you already had an idea you liked more.
That's what today's post is for! Out there in the blogosphere are people who are thinking about joining the challenge, but they don't know what they'd write 26 posts about. (Maybe you're one of these people.) And here in the A to Z community are people with more ideas for the challenge then they could ever post about. (It could be that you're one of them.)
So go for it! Drop off an idea in the comments that you'd like to see someone use for the challenge. Or pick up an idea from the comments and churn out 26 amazing posts. Maybe even both! Share with your community of bloggers.
This is so cool! Thank you.
ReplyDeleteHere's a possible A-Z theme
26 under 26 - BYO-interpretation - 25 word flash-fiction or poems. A series of photos with 25-word captions. Or 26 films made/books written/song titles/news headlines from the last 25 years...26 places under 26 degrees North/South...many ways to go...
I LOVE idea of a photo series with 25-word captions!!! My general theme is set but not the details of it. You might have just set it. Thank you, Nilanjana!
DeleteAnytime, Emily :) I really enjoyed your posts last year. Look forward to them this April. Nice to reconnect!
DeleteNilanjana love you theme ideas.
DeleteI'd love to read something that finishes line "26 steps to..."
ReplyDeleteWhat's your passion? What have you accomplished? Give us the steps in alphabetical order.
You can do a serial story that will continue from day to day.
ReplyDeleteYou can loosely base the post around the day's letter, it does not have to be "A is for Apple," more like "Appalachian Trail, how to get there and what to do once you are there ..."
I tried the serial story a couple years ago, but it didn't work out as well as I'd hoped. Some read the story out of order, coming in the middle or reading the end(along with the twist). I even had a notice at the top of each post that it was a serial story and gave the link for the start at "A for “Admit him. Now!” with no luck.
DeleteI'm curious if others had more success.
Keith at Keith's Ramblings http://keithsramblings.net did that last year. Once I found his blog and enjoyed it, I jumped back to A to catch up.

I'd like someone to take a popular book and make 26 blog posts that begin with words found in that book. for i.e: Lord of the rings, or even The Hobbit, I suppose it can be from a movie as well.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see 26 birds, or flowers, or even insects. Nature is so amazing in its variety. This would provide an opportunity for great photographs as well.
ReplyDelete26 memories you made last year - I like reading about snapshots of other people's lives :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea!
DeleteWow what a fab idea. I'm tempted to use it...anyone else using it?

A history of X as a letter, a number, a symbol, and a word. I've researched the topic twice. Really interesting. Especially the integration of X in illiterate societies of a certain religion, and the history of tic-tac-toe.
