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...?)
Meanwhile, we find Austen chained to a desk in a stark concrete room surrounded by gloomy company - zombie Ben Jonson whispering ' Miss Lovelyknickers, Mr Total B******', zombie Douglas Adams with his head pickling in scotch, zombie Lewis Carroll just being creepy. Clearly, something wasn't working here, whatever it was that was going on.
One of the taller creatures jumped to his feet, picked up two furry-footed companions, and threw them (clothes and all) into the water.
“Quick: gather them in before they escape downstream… yahoo, dinner!”
The fish were, if truth be told, making no attempt to escape, but the current WAS beginning to chivvy them towards the exit.
Having wisely decided that the stream was too cold for a full bath, they opted for soaking their aching feet in it.
Several fish rose to the surface of the water. By a strange coincidence, all of them surfaced belly-up.
