    I had a go at this today, and have now written 1100 words of complete dirge. Its amazing how easy it is. My only concerns are that its not bad enough, unless I edit out certain details I may have to mark it nsfw, and that after this I may never be able to write properly again. :)

    I don't really have any ideas for a story, but I'd love to see one with a male romantic lead named Mike Hunt.

    Has there been any movement on setting a date and wordcount for this?

    I think I'll kick it off today with a 1500 max count and running until 31st July if that suits.

    So is the purpose to write the worst story possible?

    The countdown had stalled at T minus 69 seconds when Desiree, the first female ape to go up in space, winked at me slyly and pouted her thick, rubbery lips unmistakably--the first of many such advances during what would prove to be the longest, and most memorable, space voyage of my career.

    --Martha Simpson, Glastonbury, Connecticut (1985 Winner)

    You know, I'd quite like to read more of this story!
