One of the fellas I work with and I used to be part of a bi-monthly creative writing group. We really enjoyed the regular writing exercises and frequent challenges - and we've recently come to miss it. Rather than sit around whining about how much we miss writing, however, we decided to dig up 100 writing exercises and start working our way through them.
For my part I decided to make them relevant to fan fiction.
The original work is created in Word using "Courier New" in a double spaced format -- typical for proof writing -- and everything is limited to 3-6 pages unless otherwise noted.
I'm keeping them on the RelicNews forum here:

Here is the commander's tank, complete with the resin cast extra armor. It's nearly finished in this photo (and actually finished at this point).
The Commissar doesn't ride in this tank but I threw him in for a little extra flavor. I'm quite, quite pleased with the end result on this one.
The armored company has four standard Leman Russ -- and these are them. They're painted, detailed, weathered and sealed. Table top ready and good to go once I get the rest of the tanks finished.
Now that the extra armor is finished I should be able to get things rolling at a steady clip again.
I'm finally happy with my extra armor sculpt. I have cast it in resin for personal use so that I don't have to re-create the damn thing every time.
Now that this set is finished I have several new ideas and learned a lot from my mistakes. All in all I'm rather pleased with the end result though -- especially when you see it on the finished tanks.
