To cut to the chase, I'm starting up a little subreddit called /r/GoodWriting to discover, save, share and discuss good non-fiction writing. It's about as simple as it sounds. If you like that sort of thing, you should come over and check it out. You should also share the places and sites you get this sort of thing from. I love (long-form) non-fiction. I read it on the subway...

What follows is my line of thinking as I came to the idea. You can skip a bit further down to the boldface font to get to the meat of the game itself -- however, reading the next two paragraphs may well give you insight into the game. Early Saturday morning, I was sitting in the ER waiting for a few hours. While nearly...

Some people liked it! So I did another one. Mods - if I keep doing it, I'll make sure to keep it in a single thread. But for now, here's round #2.
