300 Word Challenge #8

And here is your discussion thread.

 

[Starbeast]

I like this picture. I've got a few ideas dancing around in the back of my mind.

 

[Karn Maeshalanadae]

Indeed. There is a LOT that can be done with this picture, shipwreck or no. The old derelict does indeed help a lot, especially if anyone goes down the supernatural route, but I'm seeing some good possibilities. Even better than last time.

 

[Warren_Paul]

Yep, a story just fell into place in my mind as soon as I looked at the picture. Going to be very interesting.

 

[Hex]

I suspect the idea that fell into my mind is the one everyone will have. Fantastic picture, though.

 

[Mouse]

Makes me think of food.

 

[Hex]

er maybe not, then.

 

[Warren_Paul]

Makes me think of food.

I think New Years is getting to you, Mouse.

 

[alchemist]

Makes me think of food.

Makes me think of rats desserting

 

[Hex]

Makes me think of rats desserting

Oh please.

 

[Ursa major]

But you have until 10th of January before you can post your story...









...so the picture is your starters for ten....

 

[Mouse]

Oh dear, what have I started?

Just to explain myself, it looks like a deep fat fryer, a shopping trolley, a colander, a fruit basket, one of those blue crates you put veg in...

Maybe I just really like food.

 

[TheDustyZebra]

Eat some lunch and then try again.

 

[Karn Maeshalanadae]

Food is the last thing I was thinking of with the picture, Mouse, and I'm a fat guy.


Hmm...to be honest, I really don't know what to try to go with. I'm glad we have a good week and a half to think things through for the 300. There's just too many possibilities with this one.

 

[Perpetual Man]

Just looking in at the end of the day, and what an interesting photo. A few ideas filtered through the old grey matter, but not sure just what is going to settle there yet.

I just thought it was rife with potential and gives me a few ideas.

The first thing that sprung to mind was a WiP I started many years ago, and have only recently come back to looking at again. (I'm probably not going to rework it here, but the idea just jumped back on me!)

 

[Karn Maeshalanadae]

And I promise not to put in The Cremation of Sam Mcgee as an entry. As funny as that would be, it would be blatant plagiarism and disrespect to Robert Service.

 

[Abernovo]

It is an interesting picture. Ideas are slowly percolating. I can see what Mouse means, though. Kind of reminiscent of the little baskets they put on restaurant tables, to hold the bread. Or a tattie crate.

Did that make you hungry again, Mouse?

 

[Lucky_Lola]

Nice image indeed. That heavy sky keeps drawing my gaze... But no! Must get 75-er out first!

 

[TheDustyZebra]

And I promise not to put in The Cremation of Sam Mcgee as an entry. As funny as that would be, it would be blatant plagiarism and disrespect to Robert Service.

It's not often I find myself thinking the same thing as you, Karn!

Happy 2013!
This going to be a fun month.
