Last week’s challenge: Holiday Horror<\/span><\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n

I love the random title challenge.<\/p>\n

I love it so much I wanna hug it.<\/p>\n

I wanna hug it so much it explodes.<\/p>\n

Anyway.<\/p>\n

Way it works is this: you pick one from the two columns of 20 either by using a d20 die or a random number generator, and smooshing the word from Column One with the word from Column Two gets you a title. (You can modify that title slightly by putting “The” in front of it or making the title plural or possessive in some way.) You write the story — we’ll say 1500 words max this time around. Then you post it at your online space and drop a link here so we can all read it. Due by next Friday, noon EST.<\/p>\n

Get it? Got it? Great.<\/p>\n
