No, I am not starting another challenge. We have plenty.
This is only for discussion and for idea generating. Any writing that comes from it will be solely for your own fun and profit, and will have to be placed in F and F like any other story.
What I want to do is have people come up with random triggers. Be creative, you never know which hair-brained idea will spawn the next WOTF finalist. Maybe we can get some story idea's coming, and then hopefully going out.
Here are the rules: A trigger is not a premise. (refer to the group discussion) A trigger is not a story. A trigger should not be more than a sentence long.
So if you want to, add a random trigger to this list, and we can see how long the list gets.

Now for the challenge. I am drawing a line in the sand, poking a bony finger in your chest, and double dog daring you to pick a trigger. It could be any one of these brilliant suggestions, not just one you wrote yourself. You got one? Good.
Now, open a new file and start free writing. Write down any thing the trigger makes you think about, and then another thing, and then another thing, and then flip the whole idea on its head, and then just write a gull-durn story.
