Simple rules, potentially complex writing: Write a confrontation between two or more people. Sounds easy? Remember, if you start off too strong, it may look cartoonish. If you don't add to the emotion as it goes on, it will sound like a philosophical debate. And you need to make the different personalities come across. What causes the conflict, whether or not it is resolved, how tense it gets, etc., is all up to you. I just want to see the confrontation build - blood and guts isn't a requirement. ;-) Please post your entries here. The thread is locked at the end of the day on 24 March. (I'll try for 11:59pm, but no guarantees. It's a bit past my bedtime on workdays.) Voting will start 25 March, with the winner announced on 1 April. Have fun!
