Ann Aguirre has an interesting contest up at Something Wicked.
From now until midnight on June 24, we’re writing a co-op story. I’ll provide the premise, along with the first line. The next commenter will add one sentence to what I’ve written, no more, no less. The length of the sentence is strictly up to the commenter.
Here are the rules:
You cannot invalidate anything that has been written before (or say it was all a dream). Thus, you must read all the comments before adding to the story. Please make sure your line does not contradict anything already written. For example, if someone says that FTL was developed in 2204, you may not write that it was invented in 2499. Make sure your entry makes sense in conjunction with what’s already been written. If someone writes that the hero has black hair, you can’t make him blond, unless your sentence deals with him bleaching his hair for plot-related reasons. Got it?
The prize for this contest…an ARC of Wanderlust, the second novel in the Jax series. Once the contest ends, Ann will be posting the final version of the co-op story, formatted as best as she can, on her Free Reads page, so it’s going to be posted there as well.
