What is the Ambush?
The Ambush is a social gathering where a host throws out a topic, and everyone has a half hour to sketch their interpretation. Alternately, they might write a poem, a story, or compose a short music piece on their computer.
How do I submit pieces?
Post it to a URL or email it to the host. Please keep files under 100k, although sound bits are a special case. :)
But what if I can't submit it today?
Just let the host know and then email it to them any time that week. We trust you...
What are topics like?
Topics are usually silly, although they may be serious. For instance, one might involve you being kidnapped by the Kingdom of Guppies and taken to their Sewer Kingdom...or an interpretation of Dark City or another movie.
How big can file sizes be?
Please keep them under 100k please. Sound files can be larger.
Will these pieces be displayed so my friends can see them?
Yes.
But I don't want it displayed?
Just let the host know.
Do I have to be an artist?
Everyone's an artist! We keep it to 30 minutes to keep it fun and simple. Anything submitted is both a sketch and for the sheer fun of doing it, so please don't be shy.
Can I attend even if I don't parcipate?
We'd be honored if you did.
How do I see a list of recent URLs?
Type 'hURL #recent'. Morticon wrote this program. It's a wonderful little gem, don't you think?
Can I submit non PG works?
It depends on the location and the host. For mine, no, and generally not any held on SpinDizzy: please see 'news behavour'. Non PG pieces will not be posted to the site, or accepted for submission, and will be removed from the URL list.
Where is it hosted?
It's hosted at Bristles and Pixels. You can get there by: luge N1 E8, B
