Cris Aposted 7 years ago
This is sort of like the hubchallenge only more (dare i say it? okay...) fun. Let us challenge some of our friend hubbers to create an "out of the box" hub (at least for them).

So I challenge:

dohn121 - a poem
tony0724 - a poem
shalini kagal - a rant/hub
randy behavior - a product review hub

Ha!

If the above mentioned hubbers relent, please post your link/s here

Enjoy!

Hubbers orbit (popular poetry)

Inhabited ether by disquiet waves
invading metallic frames, sprinkling screens
with colours and shapes
mineral world where life craves
for yet another load of precious beams
soon to be devoured like sweet grapes

High astral body that spirits shelter
surrounding the earth like a ring
transcendent entity travelling from winter to spring
running through time as it spins
carrying words, thoughts, rebukes and grins
immaterial rain pouring skelter

Hi Invictus!
This is a small "poem" similar flavour to the first one I wrote when we first met.

So how does this work again?
If you challenge someone how do they KNOW anyway?
After having 13 hubs flagged in one single day and having 2 or three flagged and off the air for more than 2 days MY challenge has been to recover.
(I was fluctuating between 84 and 89 and NOW it's all I can do to stay at 75 or better so that when a link to one of my hubs is posted people won't get a "This hub does not exist" message. But, I digress . . . )

  ralwusposted 7 years agoin reply to this
  Did you read the beginning? Just choose some hubbers that you KNOW well and what they are accustomed to writing about, then get them to think outside the box and write a hub about something they normally would not write about. Example: Mark Knowles writing about his favorite chapter of St. John in the Holy Bible. Totally out of his genre.

Black Lillyposted 7 years ago
Ok... do you think this game is something most of you would get involved?
Personally I think this is a great thread, but there are a few issues, like rules of the game:
- what if the person refuses to accept challenge - can you challenge him again?
- informing the challenged about the challenge - should the one who challenges take care of that?
- what about timing - how much time you get to write a hub?
