Fiction Friday: Ill-It-Yourself Children's Book!

For this to work, people have to send in drawings. I write the story - you illustrate it! I'll post the first 11 illustrations I get to illustrate the story-point captions below. Except, it's a children's book people damn it - so if you want me to use the drawing, don't make it all inappropriate!


1. Jill and Jill-Bob were twins. Jill was born just before midnight, and Jill-Bob was born just after!

2. Jill and Jill-Bob's father died during childbirth, but first he made Jill and Jill-Bob's mother promise to name the child Jill - no matter what.

3. Jill and Jill-Bob's parents didn't know there were twins in there, but Jill and Jill-Bob's mom kept her promise anyway. She just named everybody "Jill."

4. Later Jill started calling her brother Jill "Jill-Bob."

4a. The name stuck.

5. Jill-Bob loved his sister Jill.

6. Jill loved her brother Jill-Bob.

7. One day Jill-Bob asked Jill what she wanted for her birthday.

8. Jill said "a cartoon of a horse!"

9. Jill-Bob drew the most beautiful cartoon of a horse and gave it to Jill right then.

10. It wasn't even her birthday!

11. The End.
