Hello freewriters! Welcome to the new week of we-writes with your host @ntowl.
Thank you to the four pairs that participated in the reboot of the we-write last time. I will be posting the prizes for the last round later this week. But I didn’t want to wait to post the next round so here it is!
What is a We-write?
A We-write is a freewrite written by two people. One person writes for five minutes then a second person finishes the story in five minutes (or any variation of this). The prompt is the daily prompt posted by @mariannewest on the day the we-write starts.
How to find a partner
Finding a partner should be easy. You can reach out to anyone you already know who writes on Hive and ask them. You can write a comment on this post asking if anyone wants to partner with you. There is also a We-Write channel on our discord channel where you can find a partner too.
How to enter
In order to be a valid entry, there needs to be two halves to the story. That means if you commit to working with someone you need to make sure you complete and post your part.
Once you find a partner and have written your part, post it to Hive. Then make sure to post a link to it in the comments of this post. To be valid there must be links to both parts, or one link to a post with both halves. If you include your partners portion in your post, be sure to indicate which part is theirs and tag them so they get credit for their work.
From this week on, all entries need to be in English. You can still write in other languages, but I’ll need an English translation posted as well. Unfortunately, it’s the only language I understand. Also I can get the gist of stories through Google translate but I’m betting all your lovely prose is lost. Providing your own translation I hope will preserve some of your greatness! I appreciate the Freewrite House has members from all over the world so I hope you understand this request.
Prizes
We have a pot of 20 SBI for this contest. The prizes will be divided as follows:
8 SBI - Will be given by random draw to two pairs from all valid entries (4 SBI to each pair, 2 SBI per person)
12 SBI - Will be given to one pair selected by our judge (@ntowl). That is 6 SBI to each member of the pair.
@freewritehouse will also give all entries a 100% upvote.
Deadline
Normally I will post the we-write on a Monday. The contest starts today, August 24 and will end midnight Friday, September 4 EDT.
The Prompt
Today’s prompt from the daily freewrite is:
Where are you going?
So what are you waiting for? Go find a partner!
Still have questions?
That’s great! Please ask them in the comments or on our discord channel.

Part 2
https://peakd.com/hive-161155/@hidave/the-eulogy-we-write-reboot-round-2-part-2-prompt-where-are-you-going
The finest Homegoing Service I ever attended. Now I can only wonder of Mr. wanntmore, "Where ARE you going?"
Thanks so much for your partnership. I appreciate you taking the time to produce a beautiful ending for our story.
Take care and have a great week ahead. Stay safe.
You too. Maybe theres s place of redemption alloted to him at the pearly gates.
Hey ntowl, here is both - @doppley and my part of the story: https://peakd.com/hive-174578/@oivas/where-are-you-going-or-doppley-or-oivas-or-short-story
Yayy!
It all turned out nice, such great literature. We should probably make a novel sometime😄

Hi @motev. Who is your partner for the we-write? Or did you mean to post this under the daily prompt?
Seguimos con este reto en pareja
Soooo wgo wants to be my writing partner ?
Check my posts if my writing style fits you?
He @motev. That isn't exactly how the we-write works.
First you find a partner, then the two of you discuss who writes the first part and who writes the second. The you write a new story based on the prompt (either part one or part two). The freewrite you've already done is great but the we-write needs to be something new with your partner.
Don't worry, someone will answer your request to be your partner. There's plenty of time.
I didn't get a notice from you about this. Could it be the comma behind the usernames. If others got the notice, then let me know. Thanks.
Thanks for letting me know. Strange the comma should make a difference but I'll take them out to see.
How about asking others if they got the Mention before making a change. If so, then it's something on my end. I know some capitalize my name and I don't get the Mentions.
I had another question. I thought a We-Write was just about you providing a prompt word(s) or introductory story and didn't require a partner. The Partner We-Write is the one that requires you to find a partner to write with. Am I totally confused on this issue?
A freewrite is " just about you providing a prompt word(s) or introductory story and didn't require a partner"
The we-write requires finding a partner, then writing a story together based on the prompt.
There seems to be some new people a bit confused on this. Thanks for asking!
Not trying to be compative, but these are the We-Writes I participated in previously:

Ah, I see. Yes there are two versions of the we-write. One you use the daily prompt. the other you’re given the start of a story. I think @zeldacroft chose to do the latter most of the time.
I’m choosing to use the daily prompt for now, to see how much participation we get before investing the time to write the prompts. I’ll probably ask for volunteers to write the prompt at some point. If you’re ever interested in writing the prompt just let me know!
Does that make sense? I’m sorry I misunderstood your question. No combativeness detected.
Thank you. But my initial question was from the standpoint of a Partner We-Write (need a partner to complete) as compared to just a simple We-Write (you provide a prompt - no partner participating).
I've participated in both previously, and both have prompts.
The 2 previous versions as I remember are the:
We-Write
Partner We-Write
I've written the first part here
Would anyone like to partner with me?
Hi @doppley, I haven't tried this out but let me partner you on this. So, I take you first part, write the second part, post the full story and leave a link here with both our names, right?
Is my understanding right @ntowl?
I'd definitely love to partner with you...once @ntowl confirms the procedure :)
Sure, that's fine. I guess it doesn't really matter if your partner is happy to write the second half. The more entries the better!
OK, awesome. Then I will go ahead! Thanks @ntowl!
He @doppley. That isn't exactly how the we-write works.
First you find a partner, then the two of you discuss who writes the first part and who writes the second. The you write a new story based on the prompt (either part one or part two). The freewrite you've already done is great but the we-write needs to be something new with your partner.
