Thought some of you might be interested in this. The BBC have got eight authors to write the beginnings to stories. 20,000 copies of the beginnings have been book-dropped all over the UK and there are hints on the website about where you can find them. BUT... In two weeks time, the stories will also be posted on the internet, so anyone can get hold of them. The challenge is to finish the short story in about 1200 words! More info can be found here. Personally I'm pondering Alexei Sayle's story or Joanne Harris' I *Heart* my Mini!

Being in Slytherin, she’d thought it had been the epitome of cool to return to school with such useful snakey phrases as “Can you pass the apple pie, please?” and “Would you be good enough to tell me what time the train to Madrid departs from Platform Two?”

The onlyl problem is that I'll now never get any work done because I'll be too busy writing (not really a problem 
)
