My friend Deva showed up to school one fine day with a set of guidelines. She has challenged me to write a story. I must rise to that challenge, or be labeled forever a 'buttfink.' The guidelines for my story follow. Read them if you wish. If you do not wish, just skip to the first chapter. :D
***
GUIDELINES (as provided by Deva):
Write a story. It MUST include:
At least one character from (each of these):
Harry Potter
Yu-Gi-Oh
A Terry Pratchett Book
A Douglas Adams Book
a one paragraph appearance from: Buffy the Vampire Slayer
ONE reference to either Mulder, Scully, or sweet potato pie.
CANNOT be X-Files based (author's note: DAMMIT!)
One reference to something you find funny for no reason (or for a reason, if you must)
One sentence including the following: piggy-wiggy legs (and/or) thnoogy-woogy-wipth, the world may never know, huffed and puffed and developed lung cancer
These phrases/words:
"They just don't understand." "Maybe that's a good thing."
"I can't believe I agreed to this." (Followed by a mock-hurt look)
"Well, it's...well, you know...it's...well...oh, never mind."
knobbly-eyed
"Oh, god! It's a giant ass! Oh, damn my eyes!"
magnificent poof
The following events:
at least one male crossdressing
at least two romances
one disaster that ends up covering everyone in pink powder
two attractive male figures fighting over Deva
one person sings an annoying song while others are trying to say something important
at least one random shapeshifting object (e.g. grapefruit to caterpillar)
***
Because it seemed like the least difficult thing to do, I have chosen to set my story in a Discworld Novel. It promises to be very amusing.
Disclaimer: I can try all I wish to write like Terry Pratchett, but it'll just come out like me trying to imitate Terry Pratchett. Best I can hope to do is just use some of his characters and settings and hope for the best. If that warrants a lawsuit, bring it on.
Let the madness begin.
