	I was hoping that with the start of the school year someone
would reactivate these weekly writing exercises.  Were they just too much
work, or did some net.authority crack down on them?

	The three-word game was to write a short-short story containing
three words that the person running the game (Sho) picked at random.
"In the style of" involved writing about a topic that the person
running the game posted, in the style of any author you chose (e.g.
Raymond Chandler buys some eggs at the corner store, or Socrates goes
to the barber, or Millie The White House Dog explains C coding).

Thanks,
Andy Russo

  I second the motion for these weekly writing exercises to be
continued!  If the exercises were too much work for the original
runners, I would volunteer some of my time towards getting them
running again.

Thanks,

following words:
