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.
