ds_flashfiction! It works like this: you are assigned someone and you write a flashfic starting with the first line of one of their pre-existing stories. Meanwhile, someone else writes a flashfic starting with the first line of one of your stories.
Thirty-seven people have already signed up -- don't you want to play too?!?
Deadline for sign-ups is midnight on Monday, May 7, CDT. Stories must be posted by midnight on Monday, May 21. Come on in, and join the fun!
Please pimp this! Also, if you're able to offer beta services, please comment on this post!

Date: 2007-05-05 10:07 pm (UTC)See, I'm happy to make all my stories fair game, but they are not all in one place, so I can't just post a link. I haven't put my holiday exchange stuff on my journal yet, for instance, and nothing of mine is, as yet, in either of the general archives.
So should I just take the second option and post a list of all my first lines? Or would it be better to put the various links to my stuff into my comment on the sign-up post?
I know it's stupid of me to get stuck on this. Because I could just take option #2 and not worry about it. But I'd kind of rather give people the option of actually reading the stories, as well (because that's what I'd want for the prompt I'd work with).

On the downside it feels like my brain is being sucked out of the back of my neck. With a straw. A stripey one.
