There are two ways to do this - one is slightly harder than the other.

The first time I did this activity, it was as such: write a coherent dialogue between two characters - but write only dialogue. You can write no description that isn't in the character's voice, and the dialogue has to sound natural. Easy enough.

Lately, I saw a different version of this: here, the writer-narrator sets up the plot situation in a beginning paragraph - not too lengthy. In this plot situation, the narrator *can not see* but can hear two speakers, one "for" and one "against" the narrator. The two characters discuss 'back and forth' focusing mostly on the narrator rather than on each other. [The speaking characters may be 'developed' as well as the narrator through the dialogue.] The dialogue may have a theme.

So pick one or both and go for it.

Ooh, I like the second one! That actually might fit in well with my story.. Crystalia blacks out and wakes up in a dark dungeon, where she can hear two voices arguing about her.. :twisted: I just might try that.. But not here lol. :P

Little Britain rocks!

But that was good. I personally can't write speech, so I'm not going to embarras myself by putting anything in here.

Good luck to those that do!
