Short Story Competition
This one is only for the benefit of #lugradio dwellers
In response to neuro’s excellent Phated statistics I issued the following challenge:
Schwuk challenges someone to make up a short story using all of the words on http://neuro.me.uk/phated/
...and after some discussion I’ve come up with the following rules:
The screengrab shown here is the list everyone must work off Only the verbs shown can be used; they must be used at least once, and no more than the count shown next to them Adjectives, nouns, etc. can be added to make the story make sense Any of the nicks listed may be used any number of times Phated’s nick must be used at least once nlindblad’s nick (not on the list) must be used at least once The rules may change at any time (ala Calvinball)
Before I added (and used) the final rule, Phated came up with the following which I think she should be commended for:
Chuckles. Chortles. It’s all she has. She stabs, kills, hugs her victims, curls into them, huggling; she will steal, popping bullets. She likes it when they flee, bounce. Wants what she takes and takes what she wants. Spanks and smacks, and sidles away.
