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...?)
Jon shook the water out of his ears just in time to hear one of the dwarves saying: “Now, you boys turn your heads the other way. It’s alright for me to look: I’m a doctor.”
“Don’t let him kid you, Lady: we just call him Doc because he wears glasses.”
After rather too many seconds of cowardly procrastination, Jon opted to follow after our hero Aisha because a) she was more likely to be in danger, Jon being unaware of the cuteness factor, b) she was less likely to kill him, Jon being very aware of the zombie factor and c) she was naked. Jon emerged into the gloom of the cave ready to ogle... I mean be a masculine but respectful champion.
[Public announcement: The 2nd part of this project (up to the latest addition) has now been uploaded to https://www.writersandartists.co.uk/profile/emilie-van-damm/work/57d68f67387140d54e8b4569 There have been some editorial changes (mostly obvious typo corrections and punctuation improvements, but please let me know if you feel that I've messed up your style), and some editorial asides have been removed. Reading the whole thing on this thread is more complete... but more complicated and laborious.]
