Offer: Postcard Story Exchange
[ETA -- these cards are now all spoken for, but if fun is had I'll do another round.]
I offer you a low-stakes creative opportunity.
Which is to say -- I have a bunch of postcards.
I have written the first sentence (ish) of a short story on each postcard.
If you send me your address, I will send you one postcard chosen at random (or you can ask for a particular genre and I'll see if I can match or approximate it).
You write in the second line (ish), and either send the story on to someone else who is excited about postcards, or send it back to me. The game ends when the card is full, and you return it to the address at the bottom of the card. I will post any completed stories here.
There are nine cards in total. Each one begins in a different genre. However, the only real rule is to send it back.
The cards are short, so you know you don't have to write much.
The nine genres are as follows:
This is, of course, a variant of the game known to the surrealists as "The Exquisite Corpse".

Would you like to pick a genre, or do you prefer to rely on divine chance?
Also, I know I have your address but equally I know I will not be able to find it. Do you mind DM-ing it to me again?

I'll take divine chance, thanks.
