Lets make some sort of contest.
I guess this isnt just an idea for you. But like, what if we could make some sort of outline for a story, then see if people could make it into a great short story. Then we'd judge who did which short story and which was hottest, best written etc.
Their would have to be some sort of length limit, and certain openings in the story to give the authors some creative wiggle room while still seeing if they can write through a given path.
I dunno, this just came to me, if it gets some steam behind it, I have a few outlines / ideas for stories that I could throw up to make this a real contest.
