It seems to have fizzled out some years ago, but I thought that I might revive the idea for a new generation of users on this forum.
NEW RULE: To prevent total hijacking, each entry may be a MAXIMUM of THREE (3) sentences!
Even when this thread disappears from the most recent page(s), please keep it in mind and return to it again and again. Let's see if we can write a novel-length work of beauty and originality! At least set a new record for thread length.
Obviously, styles will change. Genres may also do so. I will try my best to keep it from sliding into a Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter OR Twilight clone. (THAT's a gauntlet thrown down for some of you fanatics! This could be fun!)
p.s. If it's interesting, I'll ask others at La Gr@not@ if we can publish it. Prepare your CVs!!!
I'll begin:
*************************************
Aisha wiped the mud out of her eyes before plunging her head in the almost-freezing mountain stream.
"That Jon!" she muttered (filling her mouth with water, the rash girl), "He'll pay for this!"
Shaking her head caused myriad waterdrops to fly out from her long, red hair.
(to be continued...?)
[Let me change that last bit into one sentence] 'Zombies need a zombie language - something groany and welsh with lots of throaty velar fricatives'.
In the land of vomit, the wellied woman is queen. Aisha sloshed purposefully and disgustingly to the very centre of the ring as quickly as Jon ran in the opposite direction. The arrival of dozens of pukers has overwhelmed the senses and stomachs of even the slimy literary agents leaving a quite unfazed zombie Tolkien to greet Aisha with a guttural 'gghhnoswaith dagghhh! What do you think? New zombie language. Too welsh?'
[Can you readers – do we HAVE any readers? – imagine what it’s like to share an office with Emilie and Wilhelmina? It’s lucky for me that Jane Austen doesn’t show up here in zombie. Wait a minute: there’s a knock at the door… WHEW: it was only the postperson!]
