The great melting challenge.

Can twelve randomly generated micro-stories be glued together to one readable, meaningful story?

Sure you've seen Sherlockx's riddles, a discrete demonstration of the man's writing talents. Lately we noticed Sherlockx is writing a book (here). Some sample chapters are available on request by pm. Do it, guys, it's a captivating and interesting story. Speaking of stories, after we finished our first forum book - 'The story of John' - we're now writing a second book here. Those who didn't already should really jump in. We don't care about spelling or grammatical constructions... we simply want this to be a story created by as many members as possible of this forum, and, once completed and released, will live forever as a reminder for all those that participated.

ok. We tend to talk to much. (At least, I do. - G)

Answer: Yes by writing a prologue, a linking story between each microstory and an epilogue at the end.

We'd like to test Sherlockx's writing skills, and need your help for that.

First, we'll ask members of this forum to write a small text sample containing between 10 and 50 words. (If needed you can use a Word Count Tool, like this one ). PM this sample to G & a, and report here the message 'Text send!'. After twelve PMs we'll edit your post with the text you've send, and Sherlockx's will be on move: he will be challenged to melt the posted samples to one story, under the conditions we'll communicate once we're there. :twisted: Ow, we'll also talk about rewards later on, don't think you're doing this for nothing!

MAX

In this first challenge, we ask members to write something about a dog called MAX. Anything.

Short:
  • Write a text about MAX the dog from a length between 10 and 50 words.
  • PM that text to G & a (just tap 'PM' on the bottom of this post)
  • Post here the message 'Text send!'
  • Watch the challenge start once we've received twelve PMs

Once Sherlockx's job is done, any of the twelve people that posted here will be allowed to glue his own story together. Can anyone catch up with Sherlockx's writing talents? ;)

Yes, I know. Can't force it: I really need the twelve parts to make it a challenge. I shiver by the thought maybe this topic lacks of interest because there's no WRZ$ involved. I've noticed more talented users on this site with writing skills that could participate to this one. Maybe bumping it like you do - thank you, Jack - will wake up a few of them...

I am not going to panic it still needs a couple more people to post.
Of course what might be a challenge would be to see if I could link these flash texts (whatever thay may be) to zombie care bears
