Yes, it will be fun to see what happens. I have never attempted anything like this, but since structure is one of my challenges, it might be fun to see what happens when structure is set and all one has to do is create great character, setting, and variation on plot.<br><br>I'm not sure what you meant about imagining a story shorter than 1500 words.
