Let's check out everyones writing styles

I've not been a member of this forum for long, but I can already see there appear to be a lot of talented writers on here. So I thought of something fun we could all do, to compare writing styles.

The proposal is simple:

If you are interested in joining in, simply post a stuation/location for a 5-minute sketch.

Then after we've got some people posting (say in a weeks time) the moderator can then jumble the situations/locations around, and assign them to someone else.

So for example, bob who posted "A sketch about two lesbian train drivers on a desert island", is then assigned to Susan...... and Greg, who posted "A sketch about an elderly hermaphrodite weight-lifter living on a cruise ship" is assigned to Tony..... and so on.

This way the writer gets to write about something he'd never have thought of in a million years, and offers an interesting challenge.

Each person gets 7-days to post their final sketch, and then we can come back and compare writing styles

Anyone up for it?

There's already a "Skit" comp run regularly on BSG along those lines, you might like to check that out. The latest one (I think?) is at https://www.comedy.co.uk/forums/thread/15981

MORRACE:
I can tell.

JEFF:
But I can already see there appear to be a lot of talented writers on here.

MORRACE:
You're talking to one.

JEFF:
So I thought of something fun we could all do,

MORRACE:
I don't do anal.

JEFF:
I mean compare writing styles.

MORRACE:
Any thing in mind? You seem like a nice boy.

JEFF:
Simply post a situation/location for a 5-minute sketch.

MORRACE:
Nah, that's like anal sex.

JEFF:
I'm sorry?

MORRACE:
It's easier said than done. Explain yourself.

JEFF:
The moderator jumbles the situations/locations around, and assigns them to someone else. So for example, Bob who posted "A sketch about two lesbian train drivers on a desert island" ---

MORRACE:
--- Bob's always doing that - it's a fetish.

JEFF:
Which is assigned to Susan...... and Greg, who posted "A sketch about an elderly hermaphrodite weight-lifter living on a cruise ship" is assigned to ---

MORRACE:
--- Susan actually is an elderly hermaphrodite weight-lifter - lives with Tim Walker.

JEFF:
Oh - Well - this way the writer gets to write about something he'd never have thought of in a million years, and offers an interesting challenge.

MORRACE:
Like an elderly hermaphrodite weight-lifter proposing sex over barbells? How long?

JEFF:
Each person gets seven days to post their final sketch, and then we can come back and compare writing styles. Anyone up for it?

MORRACE:
Can I bring Dolly?
