100 Words or Less, By Invitation Only, In 3rd Person
by AmandaQuirky
A collection of stories/poems/journal entries/whatever that are 100 words or less. The idea is that the author of 1 chapter invites the next 3 authors, and gives them their subject in the title. To make it slightly more interesting, I'm stipulating that everyone writes in 3rd person.
If this idea bombs, sorry, but it seemed fun when it occurred!
A Day in the Life of …
by moonwalker
What if you could be anyone, or anything else? Then you could write about a day in the life of that person or thing. You could be a rock star who was a rock who became a star, or Elvis, who was secretly a cross dresser.
Anyway, each title should start with the words: A Day in the Life of … then say whose life you're writing about. Make it funny, gross, thrilling or whatever, but please don't make it mature, in two hundred words more or less.

Deborah swung her legs heavily over the side of the bed. Her husband, Doug, continued to snore loudly beside her. She sighed deeply; another day.
But this wasn't just another day in Deborah's routine of days that she knew all too well. This day would be far different. Only she didn't know it yet.

"Doctor Who and the Return of the Meddling Monk"

Labyrinth

Open a door, and describe what is inside. Characters, alternate dimensions, tea parties, etc… Whatever fits for the situation. Each door that you go into gets you further into the labyrinth,
and therefore closer to the exit… But not all passages get you to the end alive!

Mage Hunting
by Bolsheviki
Oh, he could really do without this. He could really do without this on top of everything. The ground felt rock hard under his feet as he pounded through the undergrowth, brambles catching at his legs, trying to trip him up. His breath rasped painfully in his throat, but he didn't dare stop, not when there was a massive hulking great black-furred bear on his tail…

There are statues everywhere. Have you ever thought of that? Statues, everywhere.
Of course you haven't thought about it. They're statues. Inanimate. What of them?
They're decoration, nothing more.

The Anjini Wars
by Craziantix
When the Anjini Ring, a cluster of planets rotating about the same orbit in the Anjini solar system, was found to contain life-forms, the Unclassified Organism Database sent out a team to investigate. To their horror, they found the Kestinos, a virulent species that preyed on the minds of other sentient beings. The team was ordered to bring back a few Kestinoid cells for tests. However, they broke out of their containment units and took over the ship. Thus began the Anjini Wars…
