Well I'm bummed too, that more people did not take part. Must admit, it was hard, and if English is not your first language the whole concept of adverbs may just be too much. But I thought it was an excellent idea for a Challenge and enjoyed it. I know it was an eye opener for me. Here are some ideas for Challenges I've been mulling over: 1.Write a scene twice from the view point of two different characters. 2.Write a scene twice, one in first person, one in third person narration. 3.Write a scene from a non-human point of view. Be a fish, bird, dog, or chair. 4.Write a creation mythos. 5.We could cycle through the various genera; sci-fi, romance, mystery, historical, fantasy, etc. One thing I would really love to see is an annual bad fiction contest. I really enjoyed doing the Max Mann story, and it would give me a good reason to carry on with it. How about making it an annual event? jon
