Born in 1972? Help me celebrate online

It’s a bit ambitious, but I thought it would be fun to try and get stories from forty people who turn forty this year.

I had wondered about threading them together, like Arabian Nights; I might still do that, at the end, but let’s keep it simple for now.

So, the theme is simply ‘1972’.

The stories will be presented online in some way and will all go live at the same time (hopefully sometime before the end of 2012 else we miss the point).

The story can be about anything you like, fact or fiction. There are just three rules:

  1. You must turn forty in 2012;
  2. Your story must have some connection to the year 1972;
  3. Try to keep your story relatively clean and inoffensive.

Fancy joining in? Please register your interest below. If enough people are interested, I’ll go ahead with it.

Join the Forty!

(Don’t worry, I’ll keep this information private.)

    I was born in 72 and fancy a go at that. I’m not much of a writer tho, particularly not narrative writing.

      Paul, don’t worry. If you want to do it as video, audio or photo-story – or even tell it to someone else to write it for you – that’s fine by me.

        

  2. Yup, yup, yup!
    I’m in :)

    Put me down for that!

    I know of quite a few others who are 40 and born in 1972 too. Shall ask…
