It occured to me tonight that in the past couple of years, Queen of the Capes has been the only one to post scavenger hunt lists. Generally speaking, however, the one who posts the challenge doesn't write a response. So, poor Mary hasn't had a real opportunity to write a scavenger hunt fic.
Meantime, the boards are going through their usual winter slowdown (people on vacation, busy with Kerth reading, etc).
Clearly, there is only one thing to do. Call for Superman! ... No, wait. That's not it. Uhm... go catch up on the huge pile of stories I missed reading this year! ... No, that's not it, either (although I should do that, too...). Oh, right! Now I remember! Post a new scavenger hunt list!
Here we go... Whether or not your first name is Mary, the challenge is to write a story including as many of the following items as possible:
1. A bowl of cereal
2. A broken traffic light
3. Three airborne penguins
4. A cake with an unusual message (IE not "Happy Birthday")
5. A llama
6. One or more of
The Flying Elvi (or Elvises) 7. A new flavor of ice cream
8. A kite
9. A
Stutz Bearcat 10. The complete chorus line from a Broadway musical (not on stage)
11. Cat Grant
12. A plate of spaghetti
13. A songbird
14. Exactly 53 snowflakes
15.
Krypton (the inert gas)
16. The advertizing mascot of your choice (something already existing, such as the 7up spot
or a new and original one of your own)
17. A statue based on a classic myth
18. Someone in Spandex other than Superman
19. A comic book
20. A persistent and frustrating lack of spoons
Good luck, and have fun.
Paul
