Buddystack
All are free and welcome to write captions or fan fiction about Mills Baker and his sidekick Stacky. This is a buddy cop style story where one character is the good cop and the other is the bad cop. Feel free to write in any genre as long as you maintain that relationship between them and the people with whom they interact.
When you post your stories or captioned image to your newsletter or Notes be sure to include the term Buddystack. These stories will appear in the Buddystack category for some as of yet undetermined amount of time.
Do more than post a story though. Read the stories and image captions provided by others. Let them know if you’ve enjoyed the work and try to use this activity to make new connections. It’s also an opportunity to increase visibility for you and your newsletter. I hope everyone will participate.
