iceminkOkay I'm going to try and start a meme. Well sort of. I got this idea from a WIRED article a friend sent me.
"Hemingway once wrote a story in just six words ("For sale: baby shoes, never worn.") and is said to have called it his best work. So we asked sci-fi, fantasy, and horror writers from the realms of books, TV, movies, and games to take a shot themselves."

So the meme? Try it yourself, write a story in six words. Here are my attempts. (And why don't I have an "Out for a walk bitch" icon, it would be perfect for this)
Buffy: "Spike! You're alive! Chocolate Syrup?"
"Xander! Watch out! It's you're date!"
Spuffy occurs. Willow bakes in vain.
"Bite me! Wait, that feels good."
Buffy was driving. The world ended.
And what has this exercise taught me? Maybe "Save the cheerleader. Save the world." Isn't so lame after all.
