Shack attack!

[arduinna]

I am so jazzed about this, I can't even say. cesperanza gives the full background here, but basically, once upon a time, she came up with this idea for writing tiny stories about characters in a Canadian shack, and shortly thereafter there were 101 little ~500-word stories in something like 60 fandoms written by about 30 people.

And somehow it has been ten years now since then, wow. So in celebration, she's created a new collection on AO3, for anyone who wants to contribute.

I've got two stories in there already, one Leverage and one Burn Notice, and a few more ideas kicking around in my head, too. (This is what happens with me and Shacks: I wind up writing in fandoms I've never written in before.)

Come play! These are a lot of fun, and very low-pressure. Just aim for roughly 500 words, stick your characters in a Canadian shack (no matter how unlikely that may be), and post to the Canadian Shack 2011 collection on AO3.

Help us get to 101!

...ten YEARS?

I read about this yesterday, and it got me thinking back. Then I realized Nin moved in 15 years ago! OMG. Which means I've known you the same amount of time. Where did the decade + go?

::grinning:: I remember when those came out, going, "Oh, that looks like fun!" Working on Buffy/due South now, and debating Chronicles of Amber or Riddle-Master of Hed for a second.

I think it would be fun to do this, except for one big problem: I've never written anything that short in my life and I don't know how. Seriously, I can waste more words than any human being on the planet with a keyboard and a thesaurus at their disposal.
