[James Coote]

open sesame

 

[Kylara]

Right that's me done :wink: super speedy...with a cameo...

 

[paranoid marvin]

Wow Kylara, you've set a high benchmark with that entry.

I hope people like the theme I chose; I wanted to try and make it as open-ended as possible, so that everyone would (hopefully) be able to find an entry that appeals to their strengths.

 

[alchemist]

Ad Astra, my alma mater's motto.

I'll be frantically working on my WIP for the next fortnight, but I'll be back sometime. There could be some interesting entries this month.

 

[FeedMeTV]

oooh this is exciting. It really is wide open and could be anything. I shall find my thinking cap and don it asap.

 

[EricWard]

Well now this is interesting. Greatly looking forward to see how people interpret this.

 

[Kylara]

Thanks PM, right up my street at the moment with stars and space and writing in any genre I could think of! I very much look forward to reading the rest of the entries...

 

[Bowler1]

Well done, Kylara for getting in there quick. 'To the stars' is so open I'm stumped for now. It won't last, I will recover from the shock. Hmm, what to do?

 

[Jo Zebedee]

Very nice, Kylara; explains a little about our solar dragon? I enjoyed getting away from synopsis/query/choosing a scene hell.

 

[ratsy]

Well I posted early again. Very touching story Springs.

Kind of nice to have Open genre...so much different than Dinosaurs (with Trolleys )in Humerous Scifi but still challenging.

Good luck everyone

 

[Parson]

Open genre? Did I read that right? I mean I was getting all set for Romantic SF in the style of Yates.

Hm, now to don yon thinking cap.

 

[David Evil Overlord]

There's room for ray guns in there, Bowler.

I am going to have to write about dinosaurs going to the stars in a shopping trolley, just to prove you wrong.

Damn! There goes my idea.

 

[Luiglin]

Mine is in. Nice idea this month but due to the open genre made me want to include the theme directly as part of the tale.

 

[Bowler1]

I did notice DOE, and I did think about it. For my entry, you could say the RAY GUNS come later...

I feel the urge to go down the shooting range.

 

[Luiglin]

Can't beat a bit of old fashioned spark and smoke ray guns.

 

[Bowler1]

Too right you can't. Come join me on the range, I'll even let you borrow some of my RAY GUNS if you like.

 

[Luiglin]

Sounds good. Although for you zombie aficionados there is a zombie evacuation race you can do in the UK (see zombieevacuation.com) which my better half found last night.

Bother just realised I should have used the universal word 'beer' instead of 'pint' at the end of my entry.

I think you should be save Luiglin, or at least to us Canadians! I call it going for Pints...
