The worst challenge!

The Dishwashing Audiobook Challenge: write a story that's short enough for someone to listen to while they're doing the dishes after dinner, but hot enough that they'll ravish their partner before bedtime.

That doesn't cause an argument on how to load the dishwasher?
 
Challenge: Retell the basic plot of The Terminator, but instead of a cybernetic assassin traveling from 2029 to 1984, it's an intrusive AI assistant.
 
An erotic Gertrude Stein fan fic.

Alternative. An erotic rewrite of the collected speeches of any current Page One political figure. Extra points for iambic pentameter.
 
(This thread was inspired by listening to Tanita Tikaram's "Twist In My Sobriety" so soon after the "Born to Run" challenge.)
Can we go back to the start? I love that song. I love the oboe's warmth over the cold backing. I love the way that she wraps her voice around the melody while teetering on the edge of tunelessness. I've never analyzed the lyrics (unusual for me), but the sense of disassociation comes through brilliantly, and reading this essay I now understand that they were meant to confound:

It's a complete package. We should totally do a Twist In My Sobriety challenge.

I agree, it's a haunting and intriguing song, and just one of so many. TT is an incredible singer and lyricist, and I love how her voice blends with the music.

But if we did a Twist In My Sobriety challenge, I suspect you and I would be the only writers participating.
 
I was referring to the common topic in AH. So many complain about them that I feel they could have been added to the original list.
It was an omission along with griping about anon comments.

We'd need multiple chapters to cover all of them.
 
Just sprouted this on another thread:


The twist at the end is that they all realize they are characters in a story and the author set the whole thing up.


Has anybody done something like that?

Tell a story the way you normally would.

The last few paragraphs are the characters in the story realizing they only exist in the author's mind and words.
 
One of those I scratched out never to be seen was similar.

The author took over and declared fatigue and time to get away from the writing and go to bed. Chronicled their disability and the task it was to get out the wheelchair and in to bed, then try to forget enough to be able to get to sleep.

Or they know all along, but can't do anything about it. There was a Daffy Duck cartoon with that premise, back in the dim and distant past. One of the best that Looney Tunes did.

You could do a thing like that and have the characters ask the readers to join them for an orgy. Something along the lines of Six Characters in Search of an Author.
 
Okay so where I live, there's an annual Battle of the Bands event but with a hilarious twist. You sign up as an individual and identify as a singer, drummer, guitar player, etc. Then the organizers randomly group strangers together to form a band, and then also randomly assign them an artist that they have to cover. It's hilarious, most of the Build-A-Bands end up not being very good, but it's always a good time and occasionally the results are genuinely great!

So my worst Lit writing challenge is Seeking a Friend for the End of the World.

Everyone that signs up for the challenge is put into a randomizer tool, and then assigned a writing partner and a Lit Category. You and your randomly-assigned partner have to write a story in your assigned category, and you both have to contribute more-or-less equally to the finished product.

95% of the pairings would end up being fractious disasters, but 5% of them might actually produce something interesting and fun. Knowing my luck I would be paired with Lovecraft writing a Trans romance 🤣
 
Can you beat the fridge scene in 9 1/2 weeks or the equivalent spoof in Hot Shots?

I haven't seen either of those scenes so I'm not prepared to compete. However, IRL I have had some fun with food. This is a straight bro's perspective but from my perspective a beautiful woman's body and delicious food were made to go together.
