As promised, here’s the place to post links to your stories in the Tick-Tock Hobbit Universe, as described in “Cover to Cover” #278A. You can start at TS 24:10 and hear Jason’s voicemail asking the question, and our responses that led to this idea, or you can just start at TS 40:20 and listen to the last 6 minutes of the show to hear the explanation of the ground rules.
The basic rules of this new fantasy universe:
- There must be Hobbit-like creatures
- There must be some magical-mechanical devices, not highly advanced
- An alien ship crash-lands on the world and changes everything
Write your stories in this universe, keep the stories PG-13, and only post the LINKS to the stories that you have on your own websites, not the stories themselves.
Let’s see where this goes!
