I sometimes am really dense about Goodreads, Tracy. Sorry. Where's the separate section? (link me, if you can?Lou

No worries! We posted the rules in the new Secret Story section in our group. Here is is: http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1...
(Eventually, the secret stories will be archived there too in their own threads.)
What that would mean would be publishing here on GR some short stories by authors, but have it be secret, so you wouldn’t know who wrote what until a specific date, and we can unveil it.
Could be a fun way to read and guess authors’ styles!
Possible rules: We could offer some GRNW word prompts (and even take suggestions in this thread.)
Examples Prompts: Northwest, First Time, Coffee, Border Crossing, Library, Autumn,
Length could be anything.. Short or long. 500 words, 15,000 words, etc. It would have to be posted to GR in a thread, so a longer story could just cover a few posts. (I would post it so it would the author would remain hidden until the reveal.)
Process...we’d want to keep it secret, so those who would like to participate can PM me and I can post the stories on a specific day or days, maybe starting in August…?
And then maybe say, September 1, we could do a reveal, and post the authors names to the story.
What do you think? Would this be something fun to do? To read?
And what other word prompts might be fun? (I’m sticking to words to offer ultimate flexibility since authors can take “First Time” and do different things.)
Thoughts, GNRW followers?
GRNW Authors--PM if you think you’d like to try this. :-) I'll set up then a separate section for rules and where we can post the stories later.
