It seems everyone else is running contests, so I thought I'd try one of my own. I don't feel like putting a great deal of effort into it, so I'm gonna steal from a couple of other bloggers and synthesize my own twist.
First, Leopold Stotch of Outside the Beltway and Professor Chaos went literary. He challenged readers to change a single letter in a well-known book and come up with a new plot description. (Modesty forbids me from disclosing who won.)
Next, Michele of A Small Victory had a "chain reaction movies" contest, where readers were challenged to pile on more and more movie titles to make the longest movie title they could.
I entered that one briefly, but I found I wasn't playing along with Michele's idea. I was playing a different game, using elements from Leopold's -- I was combining two movies, then summing up their plot in a sentence or two.
So that's my challenge. Take two movie titles that have at least one word in common, run them together, and then come up with a plot summary. This is your chance to make a "pitch" for your dream movie.
I probably didn't explain that very well, so I'm sticking my entries in Michele's contest in the extended section as examples.
Winners should be announced Thursday evening.
