Well over a year ago, a held a contest which assigned a cliche to everyone that entered. The contest challenged users to take typically despised content and shape a story out of it. It was a rather fun time and I felt it was enjoyable to the userbase that contended.

I would like to host a second, with an added twist from the first. My proposal for this contest is that it would feature two judges (one to be selected, should this pass), and both offer up a cliche. For instance, one would come from me ("abduction"), and one from the other judge ("psycho killer with a kitchen knife"), and the challenge would be in not just making these cliches work, but tying them together in a plot that seems sensible.

Though it'd be a goal to avoid blacklisted subjects, I feel that if the winning story is good enough to stomp out the competition, it'd be good enough for a blacklist appeal due to quality. Or, should one be assigned, perhaps the author will chose to play with it in a way that doesn't make it the key plot piece, but rather the second cliche?
