New Writing Challenge Alert! Penny's Pass The Story

Penny’s Pass the Story

 

I’m delighted to introduce our shiny new writing challenge. Our very own Penny4athought will donate $50 to ABCTales if we can finish her story in ten parts.

 

How it works:

 

Penny has posted the first part here and celticman has taken up the baton!

 

https://www.abctales.com/story/penny4athought/pennys-pass-story

 

 

To be next in line to do a part of the story, you will need to comment under the previous part and it'll be first come first served

You’re welcome to leave regular comments under each part too, just make it clear if you want to go next.

Each writer has a maximum of five days to complete their part, but if you can finish it sooner please do

Participants must clearly mark their story “Penny’s Pass the Parcel’ Part 2/3/4 etc

Please make sure you add a link to the previous part so readers can follow along

The word limit for each part will be 2000 words (but that’s a limit, not a target)

You can take the story in any direction you choose, so long as you follow on from the previous part, and the final part needs to tie it all up

All participants get a cherry and ABCTales gets the money – win win!

I've done Part 2. Hopefully someone can pick up Part 3. I've left it open. Jump  right in.

Thank you Celticman for starting this off and with an intriguing chapter so the next writer can pull those  threads and weave us the next. Who will it be? smiley

is soulfire going to step in? 

 

Submitted by insertponceyfre... on

He'd be very welcome to Celticman. Maybe he wants to finish his current story first? He'd have seen the new part when he posted his own last night, so I assumed he didn't have time at the moment

Okay I'll have a bash at part 6. It's not really my genre so don't expect too much!

That's brilliant Marandina - just click on the link above to part 5, leave a comment there confirming, and we will look forward to it very much!
