What happens when 26 people write a short story on the same topic? You get the Blog Fiction Project, of course.
Several weeks ago, I got an email from Bryon Quertermous, who participated in the first BFP (called “Junk in the Trunk”) a while back. He explained the idea, and asked if I was interested.
The basic idea is we give the same story starter idea to all the participants who then have about a month and a half to write the story.
The story idea last time involved getting stopped by the police with something in your trunk, and the stories were very entertaining. At any rate, I decided to give this a try. I’m not used to short stories. I’ve never written one, and for the last several looooong weeks, I’ve not gotten anywhere on either of my novels, so I wasn’t sure I was going to be able to churn out anything that looked at all good. But I’m finished, and the stories are supposed to be up today, so I will post it shortly. Below you’ll find the list of all the participating authors.
Your goal is to write a 3,000 word story involving an object that eventually appears in a police auction. If you’ve ever been to or seen a police auction you’ll know the object can be anything. Your job is to tell the story of how the object gets to be in the police auction.
