Description:

Your challenge is to write a 2-page story. That in itself is a challenge for some, but since this is the Complicated Swap Lovers group, let's make it even more challenging!

Post in the comments section five words that you would like to see included in a story.

When partners are assigned, look at the comments section to see which five words your partner chose...as well as the words of the person before and after your partner. That gives you 15 words. You must somehow incorporate at least 12 of those words in your story.

The story should be at least two letter-sized sheets of paper or equivalent. In other words, feel free to write in a small notebook if you want, just be sure it works out to be about the same length. You may handwrite your story or type it if you prefer. You can use fancy decorated paper or just plain ol' ruled notebook paper. Your story can be fictional or true, prose or poetry.

Anyone in good standing with the Complicated Swap Lovers group is welcome to join. If you have not posted in the comments section by the swap end date, I will politely remind you to do so but will have to drop anyone who has not posted their words by the time I assign partners.

Got any questions? Wanna talk about ideas? Here's a thread just for that.
