This sounds like fun. We like fun!

Swiped unceremoniously from the lovely and talented ellen_kushner:

Tell me about a story I haven't written, and I'll give you one sentence from that story.

Sentences! Stories! Knowing me, an accidental new novel!

Game on!

ETA: Game off. No further sentences are being taken. Thank you all for playing!

I put the idea to Katie (11) and Abby (7), and here's what they came up with.

Abby: A member of the faerie court falls ill; despite the many talents of their own doctors, the faeries are forced to find a human doctor for the faerie to survive.</p>

Katie: Somehow a hill-sized ogre (means well, but clumsy, dopey) becomes trapped in the humans' world. She notes that hill sized means like the hills behind Cal State-East Bay, and they eat deer, trees, and rocks.

Abby:

The wonders of the hill and the magics of the tree were theirs to know, but ah, the strange magic of "group insurance," that was slightly beyond their ken.

Katie:

"You said I could have a pet," said Katie, with the inexorable logic of the pre-teen girl, while behind her on the hill, her "puppy" chewed serenely on a Pinto.

Thanks, fabulous Seanan! I laughed out loud here at my office (leading my co-workers to wonder what I was up to this time ...), and I know our girls will love both that you responded to their requests and your hysterically funny responses!

Best and more best -
