h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Create an advert for something worth:
. Seeing or
. Doing or
. Saying or
. Having


For instance:
. What's at Longitude: W162.30, Latitude: S28.15
. A week's course on How To Twiddle Your Thumbs
. To Joe Bloggs of Whistlecough
. A quiet day

Writing text for advertisements might be quite challenging - in the nature of Create 'challenges'

Making words 'sell' a product or service is quite hard, so it would be good practice for people wanting to develop their writing style. And fun.


I am just thinking about how we might then collate all the resulting contributions. As a page of small ads? With a few larger advertisements? Illustrations?

Thanks for this idea Rod, I think it 'has legs' or whatever that bit of jargon is for good thinking!

'twas just an idea I had for breakfast.

I've wondered about that sort of thing, too. It seems there are a couple of things I've done that aren't easy to find, don't appear in my entries list ... Perhaps others find that too?

Having just spent a while looking for somewhere to post the above, perhaps ONE central page for Create containing just a directory (no conversations) to pages for each challenge?

Yes, the idea is that Create should have an official forum eventually. At the moment it is dependent on Create being a 'user space'. Bear with us while we sort this out, as things aren't quite as plain sailing behind the scenes as I'd like!

You're quite correct though Rod, simpler is better, and thanks, I appreciate your comment.

You're too kind, Lanzababy

What do you mean Lanza? Everything is flawlessly smooth behind the scenes

Do keep chucking in the ideas, trust me, we look over ideas for upcoming challenges very seriously for anything interesting
