***Suggesting a new NYC Midnight Competition: "Title Story"
During summer vacation, to stimulate my four children, I'd have them cut the headline from any article in the newspaper, without reading the story. They would glue the headline to the top of a lined paper, then have to write an article or story, based on that headline. It always got their creative juices flowing, and their stories were usually far off base from the actual newspaper story. Lots of laughs and surprises. I think this could work as a competition, where the contestants are assigned a title they must use, and three elements from: location, object, word, genre, etc. FUN!!

I think this sounds like a great idea, both as an activity to get creative juices flowing and for a new competition!
I'm terrible at coming up with titles for stories - working from the top down, as it were, would be an interesting concept!

When I was in college, my friends and I would go to the bar or coffee shop and play a game. We opened a book and read a random line. We had the length of a song to write something on it. That was our kind of fun.
