I’m thinking I’ll probably end the contest on January 7th, that’s when I go back to school.

Sounds fun :) Quick question though, can the worst ficlet challenge be uncoordinated teamwork? For example, could I write the first part as a sequel to this and then let anyone sequel it? Or would you only want a coordinated team?

Coordinated, uncoordinated, it doesn’t matter, just someone HAS to make sure that the better ficlet is written. (And a “couple” will be credited with the win) Also, they can then switch roles and enter again.

Okay, entry #1 is done. I have, per the Narcissistic Challenge, written a sequel to one of your ficlets, one from way back. I tried for this one to stay in the same vein and tone of the original, which was hard, cause that meant writing as a girl. Um, do I get bonus points for that? Just checking. Here’s the link to the sequel. http://ficlets.com/stories/15562

LoA

The points will be secret until the end <.< >.> {or shortly before the end}

Hmm… Can the ficlet be already written? Because I have a perfectly horrible one (that I wrote…), and I could possibly make it better.

Ish.

I’d rather you didn’t, personally. Especially since you know what you were trying to write.

Okay.

Congrats on 100 ficlets!

Okay, I’m looking for a teammate! If you’re interested, message me and we’ll cast lots for who gets the “bad” one and who gets the “good” one. :-)

i’m totally entering the “worst ficlet” one! that’ll be fun. somebody just sequel, because i don’t want to be out looking for you!

I did! I did! Take a look at the team right heeere!!
LoA

I just wrote the worst ficlet ever. Someone sequel it.

Okay, I wrote a bad ficlet for OTOC to sequel. Go team!

What’s the challenge, exactly? To write something that’s bad, or something that’s just unreadable?

Ah…I’m not quite sure exactly. I think my definition of bad leaned toward “unreadable”
If you look up “Smiley-sun and the Nazi, A Retelling” in my ficlets, then look at what I wrote it from, that combination is pretty much what I’m going for.
Or look at the “Blocked” & “Blocked from my heart” things, they do basically the same thing.

I think “badness” is in the eye of the beholder. I modeled my bad ficlet after the worst ones I’ve seen on the site. To me, a ficlet is bad if it includes one or more of the following:
Atrocious spelling, grammar, or punctuation; text-message brevity with character substitutions; incoherent ramblings about juvenile things; celebrity worship or other irrational exuberance; confusion of tenses; and pleading for sequels, with chain-message promises.
That’s just me, venting. It was cathartic. ;-)

Ummm, I kind of liked the original Baby Smiley-sun and the Nazi (http://ficlets.com/stories/9064). You and I even had a comments-debate about the merits (or lack of) of that particular ficlet.

I know, and I realized that after I posted my comment.
Like uselessness said, it’s all in the eye of the beholder.

OMG !! The Worst Ficlet Challenge was made for me!! LMAO !! just read any of my like, very first ficlets and i’ve already won!!!! dammm!!

Some very great ideas.
