Round Robin Two! Call For Participants!

The Second HD/RHW Round Robin will commence soon! This time it'll be an urban fantasy cosy crime caper (so murders, robberies, intrigue, scones... all with a touch of the supernatural!).

Rules and structure will be the same as for Night of the Unexpected:

• Everyone will get the same brief with the main characters and setting.
• You will be given a number.
• When it's your turn, you will get the last three sentences of the previous instalment.
• You then have 48 hours to return your chapter of 300-500 wobbly words.
• Any style, any genre.
• Usual Harvey Flash!Mob submission guidelines please: no erotica, no AI, no em-dashes, for fun only, no royalties, any revenue to the Harvey project.

If anyone fancies taking on the role of first and last, to kick off the story and wrap it up at the end, please give me a shout asap. If there's more than one, we'll run a list!

Names in the hat please by noon Monday 27th April 2026. Please email me at cgh@cghatton.com with the subject line COSY to confirm your spot.
