NEW FaBo Lite starting May 2014

Hey dudes and dudettes

It may seem ludicrous but we're doing the FaBo story-writing thing again this year. Our only explanation is that we're a loony bunch over here at FaBo.

Please check out the new site at http://fabostory.wordpress.com/

There'll be a new judge every couple of weeks who'll be judging a new round of stories. Someone needs to win those great prizes. It may as well be YOU.

Kick-off happens in May 2014, so check out the new site and start limbering up your fingers on those keyboards.

We can't wait to receive your stories.

FaBo Challenge

FABO STORY 3 begins with a letter posted on the blog on Monday 16 July - a letter that threatens to disrupt the biggest sporting event in world history - the TITANIC GAMES.

Who wrote the letter and to whom? Why would they make threats? It's your job to write a follow-on chapter. YOU decide what the story is about, who the characters are, and what happens to them next. Each week, you will read the chapter written by an author on the FaBo team. It's your job to write the next chapter in the story (up to 1000 words) and send it to fabostory@gmail.com in the body of your email (not as an attachment) by 5pm on Friday each week. The winning chapter will appear on Monday at the same time as a new chapter by one of the children's authors. From then on, every week is another episode in a big, dark writing adventure.

By the end, you will have used your imagination and sleuthing skills to figure out who the villain is and how to stop him or her from destroying the Titanic Games. Are you ready to compete? Let the Titanic Games begin!
