Short Story Competition

[Farwa]

Hi everyone! I know a that a game like this hasn't been played for a long time, so I thought I'd start one.

The idea of this game is that, first one person gives any Enid Blyton story title. Then, the others have to make a story based on it, e.g. if the title is, "The House with Six legs", then the others have to make a story about a house with legs and what happened to it, etc. After that, a winner is chosen, and he/she gives the next title.

I think it should be fun, and also stir our creativity, and so, here's the first title -
The Magic Icecream

[Moonraker]

It was a very hot day and it melted.

[Farwa]

Er - you're supposed to make an entire story, Moonraker - it can be short though.

[Daisy]

Well that couldn't have been much shorter! Trust you Nigel.

[Moonraker]

Ok. Because it was magic, it reformed. Then along came Buster and licked it up!

[Daisy]

Oh very good!

To be honest, the forums aren't designed for pieces of work which might stretch to several pages. If you want to share a story, it's best to upload it somewhere else and post a link to it.

There's also a game where one person invents a new Blyton-style book title and the next person has to make up a blurb to go with it: http://www.enidblytonsociety.co.uk/foru ... =19&t=4913" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Yes, I think we've tried that and it petered out. Mind you, we seem to have loads of games threads at the moment, so maybe we've saturated the genre?
