Challenge Issued: Paper Canvas Tapestries Collaborations (A Recap)

15th March 2012 was the one year anniversary of my blog. *dances a merry jig* Due to all that was going on as I mentioned in my earlier post (click here to read); I’ve not been able to do a midway check-in or anything fancy to celebrate.  Never fear, I’m here today so we can do a quick recap to see where we are in the challenge and to celebrate the missed anniversary; I plan to write something up for this challenge too (just a separate Flash Fiction piece for fun; I’ll post it within the week or so).

So far, CMBrown, Lara Schiffbauer and Deniz Bevan have taken up the challenge (if you haven’t read what they have written, please click on the links above -in the order above- to catch up); who will be the next story-teller, you, me or them?  Join us and find out.

The Challenge to you…

I want us to write a story together.  How?  Just like any other Flash Fiction Challenge; but with a slight twist (I can’t help myself); we will each write a paragraph (no more than 250 words per entry) to the on-going story (which will start below and continue in the comment section/linky list, I will create a page to collate all the entries.).  Once we finish this rather exciting online project, I hope to publish our collected works in an eBook -either market it for free or put it on sale for a worthy cause, I usually choose children charities; but we can decide the final outcome all together once the project is completed.

What do you say?  Are you in?  Alrighty. Here’s the 3 (+1, just because an anniversary is coming up) images I have chosen for this challenge; I hope it gets your creative juices going; be inspired by one or more -the choice is yours.

The Rules:

• Leave a comment below to say you are taking part (I will contact you and give you your number which will show where you are on the list and when your turn is due).
• Want to enter more than once?  You sure can, just make sure you come back and leave another comment below and I’ll allocate you with the next number on the list.  (Who says I’m not fair.)
• Your entry must be 250 words (no more).
• Any genre goes (providing it’s not explicit; we at yikici have a PG rating to observe).
• When it’s your turn write a post with your entry on your blog and add it to the linky list below (if you do not have a blog, you can email me at [admin (at) yikici (dot) co (uk)] with your entry or add it to the comments box below.  I will post it on your behalf.
• Duration: I’ll keep this open for three months and check-in each month to see how we are fairing.
• Prizes?  A HUGE thank you for participating & also hopefully publishing that eBook for exposure of your good work -it couldn’t get better than that right?

Finally

If you want to help me organise this project or just want to hop-on-board to oversee if all is going along to plan, then please give me a shout in the comments below, contact me via Twitter @ozlemyikici or email me.  Any questions?  Contact me.
