From Random Elements A Story Make, bi-weekly challenge Options

[McGonagall's Cat]

Rob Balder over at Live Journal posted this recently in his LJ :

I created a writing exercise for short stories using that random button.

The simplest way to write a short story is to create a main character, put them in a setting, give them a problem, and introduce a complication, usually in the form of an antagonist.

It's a great Idea and I am stealing it to challenge Ferrets with!

On the Full Moon and New Moon each month a new "Randomly Generated" Challenge will be proffered.



Sir Nicholas *cough* will also award a small prize to the best submission in each bi-weekly challenge. ("best" being a relative term, may come from polling, or just the capricious whims of the Staff.)
