So the answer to my question was NO? I am trying to spur all you budding writers to focus on Pam. That way this area can be filled with fanfictions and those 100-word thingies and such. I don't write either, so I am relying on all of you.

Well, right now I don't have one solely Pam related. If you give me a challenge (well, to a point), I'll write one, whether a drabble (the 100 words one) or full-fledged one. Up to you.

You already wrote one Pam one...I was just seeing if other people would be interested in doing it and having somewhere else to post and get critiques. Feel free too. You have your own story challenges that you posted. If you want, I am sure I could give you some guidelines for a story.

Well, after I tweak this earthquake one (which should be fun (and I mean that in the true meaning), I can write one along the lines of this one where you, Miss D and someone else can contribute an idea, then I do the fourth and have to write the story using all four items. That would lead to a challenge in it's own right (but it won't be seriously long... maybe 9 chapters ).

I think my dare would make you use the four items and do it in a 100-word story. I bet you couldn't do it.

Well, I'm up for a challenge of that sort (though I don't have to put it up on fanfiction.net do I?)

In my mind, you NEVER have to put one up there...including Pam ones. In fact, all Pam ones should go here and NO WHERE else.

Well, all Pam-centered ones. Any with Aidan I know wouldn't be on this board... even with Pam as the main focus. All right, I'll concede to the challenge, if you have one in mind?

I don't, but I got to thinking that you probably couldn't do it...and THAT is intriguing. I still think we should two or three ideas you HAVE to use in it first.

Not able to do a 100 word drabble or the four item bit or both? I do think the four requirement ideas would work regardless, and maybe for one chapter. I did plan on writing a short story on how Holly loses the suit based on what I wrote to you through PM too. I can't write that one out too long anyway, and might just focus on the handover itself. 'Cept it'd be too macabre, I had considered the innocent in all this be Bill, but I'm probably not going to do that as it contradicts my one big rule.

Both. I don't think you can do the four items AND the 100 words and make it all tie together.

I have to admit four with that stipulation would be long. How about a one chapter, X amount of words with the four items? You can give the word limit.

How about the 100 word limit IS one of the challenges...and then we get one or two more for you to write?

OK... that'd work, as four in 100 words would be tough unless it was four words (and preferably not all four letter words. ) I'm right now tweaking the earthquake story, and have delayed the wisdom teeth posting until tonight after I get home from work.

And... I'm still debating on that new story as well. I like the one with Aidan being temporarily blinded, but I might instead do it with Ralph and some suit scenario. Aidan's currently has her blinded when the acetelyne torch ignites a fireball at the school. Ralph is there, but as an observer. So, that one is on the backburner. Might do the airplane one first afterall, since I've got an idea of where it'll go.
