Would you write a short story for $0.20?

[avidgamer]

I was surfing around the net and I found this<br />http://www.mturk.com/mturk/welcome<br /><br />A site that pays tiny amounts of money for a quick task. <br /><br />One of the requests was quite unusual. <br />*********<br />"Write at least one single-spaced page about the future anywhere from 100 to 1,000 years in the future, with the main characters being Muslims.<br /><br />They can be in space, terraforming new planets, battling cyborgs, anything you like - just make Islam prominent in the story, and make it fun! I'm not looking for Shakespeare, this is just for fun, but crappy, hateful, or idiotic submissions WILL be rejected, so don't waste your time!" <br /><br />http://www.mturk.com/mturk/preview?groupId=1JQJ6QNB8KYPNGZVSG90<br />******<br />Interesting. I am curious, how many of you would write a short story for $0.20? How many would pay $0.20 for a short story?

After killing all the other people on earth, the Muslims started killing each other. Process concluded in 2108 and the ants inherited the earth.<br /><br />The End<br /><br /><br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#ff0000"><strong>TPTB went to Dallas and all I got was Plucked !!</strong></font></p><p><font color="#339966"><strong>So many people, so few recipes !!</strong></font></p><p><font color="#0000ff"><strong>Let's clean up this stinkhole !!</strong></font> </p> </div>

the aliens came and saw that groups of Muslims were being backward and treated women like cattle. They decided to focus on Saudi Arabia, where they turned all the men there into busty blonde women permanently in heat.<br />US saw this and promptly invaded Saudi Arabia, with the male population supporting the war and the female population being against it.<br />Soon the entire male portion of the US miliatary was inb Saudi Arabia getting laid like freaks. Saudi women decided to take charge of the slutty Saudi ex-men and opened brothels where the the ex-men became gainfully employed. The US had to pull back amid international sanctions and the price of oil increased tenfold.<br />The aliens came to the US and offered cold fusion cheaper than Saudi oil so the US entered a nice trade arrangement with the aliens, while Saudi Arabia became a humulongoumous adult team park.<br />The other muslims freaked out and allowed women all the freedoms they desired. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p>http://asteroid-invasion.blogspot.com</p><p>http://www.solvengineer.com/asteroid-invasion.html </p><p> </p> </div>

Mohammed Akbar carefully made the final two connections. <br /><br />There. The gleaming machine was ready. Cutting edge physics stolen from the EU/North American Bloc of infidels. Still to this day the Hezbolas Jihad Brigade fought on. If they could not ever win, then <i>everyone</i> must pay.<br /><br />Mohammed prepared himself. He reached over...<br /><br />...flipped a switch...<br /><br />...in a small and insignificant solar system - a common G2 star with 9 planets - a new sun shone briefly. And then there were 8 planets.<br /><br />And somewhere in the Multiverse, God wept. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><em>Differential Diagnosis:  </em>"<strong><em>I am both amused and annoyed that you think I should be less stubborn than you are</em></strong>."<br /> </p> </div>

Heck, I write short stories for <i>free</i>.....<br /><br />Not sure it'd be worth the bother of actually collecting the $0.20, though. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p><font color="#666699"><em>"People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly . . . timey wimey . . . stuff."</em>  -- The Tenth Doctor, "Blink"</font></p> </div>

There's probably a 0.22$ charge on transferring the money on your account, so you will actually end up in a 2c debt...
