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...?)
[Edit] reduced the once feminine killing tool
For clarification, aren't we in Europe. It might be important later for landmarks during the inevitable alien attack
Here goes
From her position stood in the tree, Aisha leapt beserker like to the ground and brought the fatal Austen shoe down on the head of the groggy Jon. However, a thorough soaking of zombie guts and a two kilometre jog had rendered the once feminine killing tool to impotent sound effect. 'Shcloppp' went the shoe.
[Double congratulations are in order! This thread has broken into the top 20 most popular threads of all time on this web-site. With THIS entry, it ties for #13! All the other top 20s – bar one – are AT LEAST 2 years old. The one exception is my own Q&A: “Do you REALLY want to write like Jane Austen???” (https://www.writersandartists.co.uk/question/view/2622) which is at #4! (#1 is another writing game, the one which inspired Emilie to start this one. Will we overtake it? It’s up to ALL of us!) Down to business:]
Of course, it was OBVIOUS what to do next: open a few more tinnies, then make sure that they didn’t spill their contents onto the forest floor.
Half an hour later, Aisha was feeling a lot more clear-headed.
Or WAS she?
