Create: endeavours in reading, writing, rhythm, blues, art, photography, and biscuits.

Create.

What is Create?

Create is a series of themed challenges. We hope to provoke h2g2ers into feats of wilder research, more studious creative writing, tastier visual arts, more lyrical fun and wonderfully composed biscuits.

Welcome to the Month of May!

Our illustrious leader, Z, takes up the strain and exhorts you, in the nicest possible way, to write for the Guide this month. Our challenge, should you wish to accept it, is Hobbies. You will find all the details of this challenge here. If the only hobby you have is h2g2.com then you may be interested in reading our coming up page and planning how to storm ahead by researching for the future months activities.

42 bottles of beer on the wall...

h2g2 is not a fan site, but many h2g2 researchers arrived here because of their love of Douglas Adams' work. As a result, they tend to have a natural affinity for the number 42. In partnership with the forthcoming podcast, Towelcast42, we would like to harness that for two 42-related challenges.

We continue our photography challenge to create an exhibition of naturally occurring or more contrived sightings of the lesser spotted 42. Now would be a perfect excuse to get out and about and enjoy the spring (*cough* autumn *cough*) air, and we are still welcoming 42s of any kind over at our flickr account.

Why not have a go at our 42-word story challenge. Yes, the challenge is to write stories only 42 words long. This month the keyword is 'Hobbies'. Surprisingly.
