So, Neil Gaiman in conjunction with Blackberry, started a writing project earlier this year, inspired by tweets he had prompted. He came up with twelve short stories, one for each month. From the website:

You’ve inspired Neil. The twelve tales are written. But words are only half the story – now Neil wants your help bringing them to life. The next step is to illustrate them.

Watch the video to get some tips on what Neil is looking for. Read and download the stories, then let your imagination run riot.

Whether it’s a sketch, photo or doodle, using paint, ink or collage, upload your artwork for a chance to feature in the digital showcase and the printed, limited edition of A Calendar of Tales .

You can read Neil Gaiman’s A Calendar of Tales here. If you don’t like reading on a computer screen look for the Download all stories button. If you are an artist, you can even add to the project and make some art. All of this is free, by the way. Check it out.
