The Classic Literature Summer Mini Challenge

Postby Honeybee » Wed Jul 10, 2013 10:45 pm

Here’s the deal. Participants will sign up in this thread. In one week’s time, I will close the thread and you will be assigned a very famous writer. You will then write a short Enterprise story (Think from 500-1000 words) in the style of that author. Then, when you post it, readers will have a period of a few days to guess who the writer is.

I’ll try and pick very classic writers that you probably read in school. This has been done on several other sites, and it always was lots of fun.

Awesome! I know we don't have a lot of sign ups - but it should be relatively easy given you're not expected to do a full story! So come on people.

Not to be pesty - but, um... when are we going to start this? I could really use a diversion at the moment, and what better one is there then Enterprise?

I was hoping more people would sign up! But we'll start tomorrow morning, how's that?

We've got three brave souls! That should be good enough.
