Wired magazine asked various writers to write a story in six
words (a 0.067-drabble, or something like that). There results
are here:

My challenge is... Oh, you guessed...

Alright, then. Here's six of them:


The Doctor got Cyber-converted. We're screwed.

K-9's wedding: "I do," said toaster.

Gallifrey not handicap-accessible. Davros wins lawsuit.

Benton: "Jo picked Cliff instead. Bitch."

Mary-Sue saves Universe, kisses Doctor. Awww...

"A Raston Warrior Robot? Where? AAAAARGH!"

And, just for fun, here's some six-word parodies -- written with love -- of
various adwc authors' work:

Helen Fayle...
Though 'good-guy', Kastchei's villainy still sexy.

Paul Gadzikowski...
Doctor: "Interfere!"
Picard: "Shouldn't. Hey, wait..."

Clive May...
Tormented woman. Alienation. She'll win... somehow.

Imran Inayat...
"Sis... I have secrets." Angst ensues.

Graham Woodland...
Six words? That's not enough to

BKWillis...
Violence! Nyssa! Puns! Where's the lesbians?

Here's my own:

The Daleks... are *us*! (Or not.)

"Captain Harkness? Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart. Clear off."

"?od nottub siht seod tahw, roctoD"


And the six word TTR story:

Polly finally stopped *anyone* getting in.

"Strange people with very strange names" would be better.

I guess I could get more specific and do six-word versions of specific
fictions I've written or written in.

'Room 308'...
Saveena, stoned, annoys Elaine. Skrang plummets.

'Spring Surprise', early in series...
Nyssa, he; Doctor, she. Oy vey.

'Spring Surprise', recently...
Heroes winning, but Nyssa's going schizo.

MPT3k...
>Blah blah
ALL: This story sucks.

'TTR: Help' series...
Proprietor: "You're hired." Later, "Aw, crap!"
