Much less painful, and at least as fun, are the fictions currently on offer over at Stageleft. The Game is called Ficki, and it is played like this:
…create a completely fictional sketch of a person you don’t know that either captures or satirizes the self they present to the world through their blog-presence.I think TGB should definitely involve themselves. I may join later, but first I need to crawl around inside a coffee pot and de-lint my brain.So why don’t we all do the same thing? Here’s your challenge.
a) Choose someone in blogdom. Anyone. It can be a blogger, or a regular correspondent without a blog.
b) Write a one-paragraph fictional sketch that sums them up. Because it’s fictional, we’ll refer to it as a “Ficki”.
c) The only rules are that you can’t do yourself, and that your Ficki may contain NO correct factual information, as far as you know. (Peter may actually BE a retired beekeeper, for all I know). It has to be fiction.
d) If you do a blogger, send them a note to let them know they’ve been fickied, and link them back to this thread [at Stageleft] so they can discover their inner essence as seen by the world.
