Description:

This is a challenge for all of the creative writers on Swap-bot. It’s the first of several writer’s challenges that I’ll post.

For this first challenge, write a story that contains all 15 of the words in the list posted below. For those wondering how I chose the word list, I simply opened a dictionary and flipped pages.

You can use the words in any form, but make sure to use all of them. Give your story a title, print two copies and send a copy to each of your partners.

The word list:

a) Aye

b) Considerable

c) Joyous

d) Mold

e) Nylon

f) Sermon

g) Triple

h) Ways

i) Zombie

j) Pave

k) Jade

l) Fly

m) Chamber

n) Music

o) Baron

Tips: You can bold the 15 selected words so your partners can easily find them.

The story can be any length, shorter (1-5 pages) is probably best though.

Be sure to put your byline and contact info on the story.

Have fun!

The fine print:

This swap is international.

Your story should be mailed via snail mail (on paper and in an envelope, not via e-mail).

You don't need to wait for a partner assignment. Start thinking and writing as soon as you join so you'll be ready to mail when partners are assigned.

Rated players must have a 4.5 or higher to participate. Newbies welcome. ALL players must have a completed profile. I review the participants list after the signup deadline.

Can this be in the form of a poem?

user9701 07/24/2007 #

I like this idea. I'd like to have a whole book of them. Thanks

GHG: It can be any form you'd like as long as the 15 words are used.

LBG: I don't know about THAT many, but we'll go as long as there's interest. :)

Do the words need to be used in the order given?

Artistic 08/ 5/2007 #

PostMuse:

Any order. Any format. Any form.

Finished mine today. It's ready and waiting!

I hope you do another, as I really like the idea but just don't have the time to write it right now. Be sure to let me know if you do!

Partners have been assigned. Let's get those stories in the mail.

Have fun.

user9701 08/12/2007 #

Just dropped mine in the outgoing box, so mailman will get it in the morning.

Stories are en route to my two partners. Enjoy!
