Sound the clarion!
A CHALLENGE HAS BEEN ISSUED
This morning, Michelle Stone wrote a hilarious dream sequence where the heroic, yet mortal writers stand against the very Gods of Medium in a virtual Colosseum:
There in my dreams were Henry Wismayer and Jon Westenberg standing at dawn in a packed Colosseum. Morgan Rock Loehr stood at Henry’s side. Benjamin P. Hardy stood next to John…
For two hundred words, I laughed over my morning tea and yearned for more. And so I say to you, denizens of Medium, stand up and let your pens (not a typo, you pervs) be heard!
Let the Grammar Games begin!
Write a 200 word post to continue the Michelle’s story.
I call upon every writer mentioned in the story to add their zero cents (should we not give back all that we have received from Medium?):
Henry Wismayer, Jon Westenberg, Morgan Rock Loehr, Benjamin P. Hardy, Gutbloom, Ellie Guzman, elizabeth tobey
But why should it end there? If every manner of sexual, physical and psychological experience can be exposed for the world to see, don’t be shy, Medium! Stretch yourself, enjoy fifteen minutes of Sunday silliness and add your perspective to our meta version of Gladiator.
I call upon all my favs to add but a sentence stating where they are and what they are doing as they watch the field of battle. Just one sentence, please? You know who you are, but I shall have to call you out anyway, as this will appear on your alerts.
You can either submit your comment here, or respond to this post below.
[UPDATE: Find the complete story, combining all chapters up to present:
I hope the arbitrers of life hacking will join the fray. If not, I’m afraid I’ll unleash another salvo of faux hacks.)
Thanks and have a great week!
