It begins!

I watched as the clock ticked down. I went straight to the forums. Adventure was first on the list (probably due to something crazy like alphabetical order) so that is where I stopped. The most recent post in the dare thread was from a couple days earlier by a member with a username of redsamurai. Here is the first dare destined to be part of my novel:
dare

+ henchmen can do job and know there jobs
++ henchmen are plants by hero
+++ henchmen are double agents and are taking money from both sides
+++++ henchmen soo good they are the supervillans and using the named
villan as cover



I actually like that idea, though it will be tricky having intelligent henchmen. It could be fun though. At this point I'm thinking this might work out well. That's until I get to the fantasy dares. I've been around there for the last couple years, so I know what kinds of things they'll dare. 

I left this dare for someone to try:

+ A main character has to fight a large creature with a whip. 
++ The whip is covered in oil. (type of oil is up to you)
+++ The whip is abnormally short.
+++++ Each hit with the whip actually makes the creature more powerful in some way.

My word count is currently 0, so I better get some writing done before bed. Enjoy the first day and that rush of adrenaline that comes with a new story!
