Story-thon

Ammani is back at her old crease. Doing what she does best, writing stories. Only this time, she’s got Shofie and Neha to help her. Check out this year’s Project Why Short Story Contest, titled Ready, Steady, Charity.

So anyway, I thought I would dip into the pool too and write a story. The result of which is this.
I was asking Suman his opinion of the story I sent in. He felt it was a bit weak, and written in a hurry. Both of which was (and is) true. While we were discussing that, we hit upon an idea. We would, the both of us, build a story around the protagonist in the short I submitted for Ammani. Yes, the two of us would write a bigger, hopefully better story.

How?

I would do part 1, and tag him. He would do part 2 and tag me back. I would do part 3 and tag him back again. He would do part 4 and tag me back again and again. You get the drift, right?
We hope, together, to come up with a fairly good story based around one man’s life. Right now, we aren’t bothered about word limits and other minutiae. We just wanna have fun writing it up, and eventually will have a half-decent story on our hands.

Now, if you want to be tagged between or by the two of us, do let us know. Mail me at chandrachoodan@gmail.com, or leave a comment. Or mail Suman at sumank@gmail.com or leave a comment on his post. Remember, the idea is that you write one section of it (no matter how long or short as long as something happens in that section) and tag either of us. We’ll then do it cyclically.

    Excellent idea! I’d toyed around with something like this, after reading a book called ‘Yeats is Dead’ sometime ago. Looking forward to the result.
