...at least when you've got a bunch of writers. Round-robin short story writing: split up into teams of 4 or 5. Each person gets 3 minutes to write 3 sentences, and then gets to pass the story to the next person in the group. Do this 5 or so times to complete a story. We ended up with half a dozen bone-chilling tales of secret editorial cabals, late documents reviews, broken printers and blue screens of death, plus the editor who took vengeance on the writer who murdered the style guide.
I'm hoping the person who collected the stories at the end will transcribe them so we can put them on our group website.
