In April 2005, I posted an open challenge to my LiveJournal; in which I asked all and sundry to descend and challenge me to write pretty much anything.
This page is dedicated to the results of that challenge- which I'm still in the process
of doing (I'm a lot more popular than I thought!), and really rather enjoying.

The Challenge.
This is for everyone who reads my journal-- those on my flist,
those who have friended me without me noticing until a week after the fact, those of you that may just wander over here and
read in happy obscurity. This is even for those of you that are on the Latest Posts page or are bouncing around on
random search.
This is for everyone who reads this post: I challenge you.
I challenge you to challenge me to
write something. To write anything.
Give me a line, give me a character, give me an idea you had once but never
got around to writing yourself, give me a picture to build from. Give me a single word. Or give me specifics; tell me a fandom*,
a rating, a genre. Make me go original; request something with fairies and dragons from inside my own head.
Give me
as much or as little as you can think of and I will write something.
I don't care if I know you, have friended you,
or if you're anonymouse314. I just want one thing from you; the seed of a story, the challenge to write something.
Go
on, you know you want to...
*I have scary-geek knowledge, or access to majority canon source material
on the following fandoms:
- Valdemar/Velgarth (M. Lackey).
- SERRAted Edge (M. Lackey).
- Discworld (T. Pratchett).
-
Sandman (N. Gaiman).
