We're doing something a little different with the Storyball this time. Objects.

First round, you write a story that contains... something. An object. A cardboard box. A wooden toy. Something. Maybe all the objects came from the same Junk Shop... maybe not... we'll figure that out as we go.

Otherwise, you pretty much follow the rules of the Storyball -- come up with two 'phantom' titles that someone else has to write.

Whoever picks up one of those titles is (in this version of the Storyball) obliged to include that object (the one from the 'parent' story) in their story. Don't misconstrue -- what you write doesn't have to be *about* said object, but the object needs to be in the story at some level: centrally, peripherally, or whatever.

Do we want to make a list of objects to choose from ahead of time? I have no idea. Maybe we DO at least want to say "I'm going to write about an X," so that we don't have three people all writing about a left-handed corkscrew in the first round. How awkward would THAT be?

Thoughts? Let's hear a yeah or nay, folks.
