I hereby propose a writing game. It's something we used to do in my creative writing class, using photography magazines. Basically, File The Plothole, Photo Edition. It goes like this: One person posts several interesting photos, or links to them, numbered 1 through however many. Either give a brief, fitting description, or not.
And then we write short stories about the how and why of these photos, and post some photos of our own.
For this game, photos like this:
1: http://www.flickr.com/photos/manikol/6104144693/
2: http://www.flickr.com/photos/canon-eos/6096090759/
3: http://www.flickr.com/photos/williams253/6098501356/
4: http://www.flickr.com/photos/wildzone51/6106802095/
are better than photos like this:
5: http://www.flickr.com/photos/22881422@N02/6095233939/
6: http://www.flickr.com/photos/johncoffee/6093480855/
7: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dmitrysavin/6107368348/">http://www.flickr.com/photos/dmitry_savin/6107368348/
because there's more to speculate on and make up.
They can be photos you found, photos you took, photos you went on flickr and accudentally ran into, whathaveyou. The only rule for photos is that they should be interesting.
You can write about your favourite canon, your own little world, your neighbour, whatever. Post your writing here, or somewhere else and link it here, with a link to the photo you wrote about, and a few photos of your own, if you feel like it.
PS: If it's still there, I'll post a photo later of the thing I found in town yesterday that made me remember this game.
