Some time ago I stumbled across They Fight Crime!, Andrew Wheeler & Alasdair Watson’s crack addictive meme-generator. [UPDATE Oct. 11, 2013: the original meme generator has disappeared. Luckily for us nerds left behind, Paul Makepeace’s Toys have reproduced it here.] Each click brings up a new logline, such as:
- He’s a one-legged dishevelled senator living undercover at Ringling Bros. Circus. She’s an enchanted junkie soap star with an evil twin sister. They fight crime!
- He’s an unconventional albino photographer haunted by memories of ‘Nam. She’s a hard-bitten snooty college professor in the wrong place at the wrong time. They fight crime!
- He’s a jaded ninja stage actor on the wrong side of the law. She’s a disco-crazy goth widow with the power to see death. They fight crime!
So here’s my challenge. If you can manage to stop clicking “try again”, pick one meme and write a short story. Link back to this post, and I’ll publish all links. Good luck and I can’t wait to see what you come up with!
Here is the one I got:
He’s an ungodly soccer-playing card sharp on a mission from God. She’s a beautiful punk fairy princess with with her own daytime radio talk show. They fight crime!

Barb, I’m in England and I’m groggy and Mother refuses to let me out of her sight and I have fifteen hundred relatives demanding my time (slight exaggeration, family not very big really) and these are all not good excuses not to join in with this great idea and I want to, I really want to, and I will…but probably not until I get back to Canada. Should have updated my blog before I left as well…horribly unorganized. Anyway, don’t want you to think I’m ignoring you.
Are the birds any quieter where you are?

The birds have been barking here since 4:30AM. But the SUN is SHINING. Life is perfect in England. Have fun with Mother and the fifteen hundred.
