Training Arena Ramping Dedicated Individuals, Greatest Ravenous Authors Dare Ever
SEMIANNUAL bootcamp/wattpadding club for writers - six months prep time, six months run time
//ended April 30, 2020//
Welcome, one and all, to our first ever TARDIGRADE Initiative - 2019-2020!
First off, what is TARDIGRADE?
The short version is simply: Training Arena for Ramping Dedicated Individuals and the Greatest Ravenous Authors Dare Ever
The long version? A six-month-long book club, writer's camp, write-a-thon, call it what you will; designed to encourage commitment and dedication in people. Specifically, authors. Through a series of weekend challenges, we'll test your drive to write - every single week - for half a year, straight. Like a tardigrade - aka the most resilient animal on the planet - you'll troop through flash fiction challenges, imagines, reactions, even poetry; and come out, stronger than ever.
Sounds terrifying?
Don't worry, we'll be with you - every step of the way. As tardigrades!

There we go. Tardibear, our ringmaster, is in the orange - while our artist, Waterbear, dons the blue. And our very own Spacebear - the purple one - will be joining in the challenge as well, although needless to say, she can't receive prizes (like the rest of you might!).
Ultimately, we want you to have fun, show your books around - and become a greater writer while you're at it! Are you up for the challenge?If yes, continue on to Regulations and Recruitment!
