I find 100 word stories are much more rewarding when done well. I think that might better suit a forum setting...

How about: a man that can only see the world at night; during the day he is blind. That may be interesting?

Very hard to do flash fiction well (or make it interesting).

Suggestion for the writing assignment: everyone here writes a piece of fiction that describes a situation where an attractive, bosomy female has recently been hired at your place of employment, and you have been tasked with "showing her the ropes" so to speak (FNARR!) She proceeds to make several overt sexual overtures towards you (no points wil be awarded for realism here!), and you muse idly about how you are going to incorporate sexual trysts with her into your already overscheduled dating life.

This sounds a bit like a cross between nerd daydream fantasy and the MetroStyles "Adventures in Online Dating" threak.

It's actually the plot of one of Conne's recent threaks in DT, only Conne is neither a believable protagonist nor a reliable narrator in the story.

I don't think that a cooperated short story would work too welll in this format but how about having some joke-thread about a story to that every poster only adds one word...?

I would like to join this! My contribution - a person whose soul inhabits two bodies, one of which is married to a wife who carries on an affair with the other body. Just throwing that out there because the idea I really like is

That is a very interesting idea.
