A Challenge...?

Following a chat in the pub last night with [livejournal.com profile] smokingboot, I have decided that we ought at least to try to wake [livejournal.com profile] just_writing from the torpor it suffers from between half-hearted annual attempts to get some of you buggers to contribute Christmas ghost stories.

I have had a slight inspiration around the sad lives of the denizens of Dimpler Towers and hope to have something written in the next day or so over the bank holiday weekend.

I know that a fair sample of the people on my friends list is decent writers1; I’ve worked with a number of you on NWO and I’ve read contributions from others. There’s a talented if lazy mob out there. I count myself in the lazy bit at least. If I’m going to post something, will anyone join me?

(Cross-posted as usual, so it can be ignored by the greatest selection of people I can reach).

1Grammatically correct, yet oddly wrong-minded; this sentence is a literary Roundhead: repulsive but right.

Every year the encouragement to do Christmas ghost-stories starts earlier and earlier! I'll see what comes up. Hmmm. I wonder if Serpent-people celebrate christmas?

I dint mean this to be a rallying call for a Christmas ghost story (tho if that's what it takes...), but any story. Long or short!
