Unable to decide which of the suggestions was best (sorry, all) I’ve fallen back on my own inadequate store of ideas and plucked out the one on top, which bears an unfortunate resemblance in some ways to last year’s.<\/p>\n
Pick a character.\u00a0\u00a0 For the purpose of this game, characters will look the same and be the same size and have the same basic personality.\u00a0 Now translate that character to 2011, and put her or him in a particular location (where?) and occupation (what?) with a hobby (what?)\u00a0\u00a0 Pretend, for the purpose of the contest, that these books have never been written, so (for instance) Paks-in-2011 can’t have as a hobby playing Paks-in-the-books at conventions.\u00a0\u00a0 The juxtaposition of character, place, occupation, and hobby can be “appropriate” or “humorous.”\u00a0 It’s up to you.\u00a0\u00a0 I think we’d all enjoy seeing how you connect the character’s personality to the new occupation and hobby–so you don’t have to limit yourself to just listing the variables.\u00a0 Play.\u00a0 Show off your imagination.<\/p>\n
Because next week is going to be super busy for me, you will have until midnight Saturday, October 1 (a date easy to remember) to make your entry.\u00a0 As before, all entries will be given a number and the winner drawn through a random number thingie-whopper.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
