Some of you may recognize this; last year I posted it to

povetry_slam, the twisted brainchild of Lyra and Lynn -- there were about ten members on that comm. But I was inspired by

lucifercircle's creativity in writing a folk song, and thought you might forgive the recycling of Used Poetry. Hopefully it will be new to most of you.

Suffice to say it's, uh, slam poetry. By Diefenbaker.

This ficlet was induced by the comments I got on my previous reply to this challenge, especially

missapocalyptic’s. It doesn’t follow her suggestion entirely, but it is as close to RPS as I dare to come. As a writer, I mean. As a reader, I don’t have such scruples.

heartofdavid for a fast beta and entertaining me at the same time. And to

lucifercircle for reminding me I needed to get onto this fast. Oh, and please excuse the lack of illustrations. I know they are a big part of any self respecting Just So Story, but I am simply not that good. Sorry.

This one comes from

pearl_o who notes that:

"our stories have a lot of variation, but there's still mostly a common genre we all stick to in writing our fanfiction. So what I think would be really cool would be a Genre Challenge -- for all of us to pick a specific genre of writing and write our fanfiction in that, with its style and rules.

An incomplete of possible genres: mystery, detective story, thriller, horror, ghost story, historical fiction, harlequin or regency romance, sf, fantasy, western, drama, children's book, Platonic dialogue, memoir/biography, academic paper, newspaper or magazine article, textbook, religious text, chronicle, guidebook, reference book."

So switch that story into a different key: set your DS in a genre you normally don't write in.

Today's October 27th; stories are due November 10th at midnight.

Edited to add: I'm editing the title of this challenge to make it "genre redux"; yes, we did a genre challenge last year, but I thought it would be better to open us up to multiple genres than just to do a horror/Halloween story challenge. So use any alternative genre that you like.
