A Challenge...?

[caddyman]

Following a chat in the pub last night with smokingboot, I have decided that we ought at least to try to wake 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.

I'd potentially be interested, although my available time is not consistent (and next to nothing at the moment as I lack a working laptop). My friend sushidog is a keen writer and has been looking for an LJ community where people post and comment honestly on each others work so I expect she'd be interested too.

She's more than welcome to join - it's an open community. Trouble is trying to get people to contribute and comment!

As for you: well, there's no time limit. Post something when you have time.

I'll pass the word along.
