Alright, so I'll explain this here and call this thread the "signups"
Essentially, I'm going to take all the interested people, and arrange them in a circle in a word document. Each person will offer up one of their writings, and it will be passed to the next person in the circle. When you receive someone else's story, it becomes your job to reimagine it. Write it as though you had written it. Keep the same general plot, but feel free to change things. Make the characters act different, make it take place in somewhere totally different or some time totally different from the original. Once the whole circle has rewritten their assigned story, it's passed on to the next person in the circle. In round two you reimagine someone else's reimagination of a story. It continues in this fashion until the original writer gets back their own story, rewritten by the rest of the circle.
I'm looking for about four other people for this. I know Tokzic and Carbo are interested, so really just two or three more, so this actually finishes in our lifetime.
What I'm looking for in a story:
Something that can be reimagined, no vignettes, no poetry, etc. Should have a strong plotline, and should be between five and ten pages long. Any longer and it gets impossible for the circle to finish a round, any shorter and there isn't really enough there to reinvent. I know I'll be writing something new especially for this. I'm not planning on starting it for a week or two.
So, who's game?
