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.

Victoria: Your additions are truly appreciated. You have also helped our Wilhelmina achieve a dream (see last several comments on https://www.writersandartists.co.uk/question/view/2622)
But, please, follow the guidelines and let some more writers take a turn before you return the volley. I LIKE your last contribution and we'll let it stand - ESPECIALLY as it's early days yet and not too many writers are "hooked". But in future we're aiming for a more widely-spread story.
I wish to make clear that I LOVE your enhusiasm, and hope to read lots of your replies here. But try to space them out. (Please invite your friends and connections to join in!)
Aisha, somewhat confused, beat the zombie Austen to a greasy stain with the dainty yet suprisingly lethal shoes forever ending her plans to marry a handsomely moustached zombie.
The literary agents of Ms. Jane Austen (b. 1775, d. 1817, z. 2016), being too unscrupulous to sign up with an upstanding web-site such as this, have put themselves (by devious means) in contact with myself and asked me to include the following contribution from their client:
“Waaurughhhhhhhhh”, ejaculated Miss Jane.
“Do not you think”, reposted the tree-frog, “that you are hardly in a position to make such a statement? And watch your language: words have changed their meanings since you were alive, and there are children perusing this, do not you know?.”
