Sekrit Santa 33 1/3

[David Evil Overlord]

Gotcha DEO, but I'm not at all sure that you've managed to make a request of your own yet, so think that part over. I believe the girls were making requests for you, earlier.

I distinctly remember asking for a story where the evil overlord was the hero...

 

[chrispenycate]

I like the idea of a dragon starship pilot, recruited for it's lifespan and cold intellect, flying a human colony to a distant colonisable world, and, as wages, carrying dragon eggs too, so the new settlement will be multiracial…

 

[Perpetual Man]

I'll stick with my original request methinks.

Robots vs Dragons

Ahh, so you did! I lost that, somehow, in the helpful pictures that alchemist posted afterward.

 

[Tywin]

Am I too late to join? I just saw the thread.

 

[monsterchic]

Okay, I've thought. If I ask really nicely with cherries on top, can I please have one about a wood elf who really likes to cook, but something goes wrong where she's banned from her colony forever? Throw in a dashing villain that's kind of relatable, add a pinch of forbidden romance, and BAM! You've got it

Mine still stands the same

 

[TheDustyZebra]

Nope, we postponed it until February, so you're right on time!

 

[Jo Zebedee]

I'm out, sorry. I just have too much on.

 

[Phyrebrat]

Ummm...ahhhhh.

Ummm.....ahhhhhhhh...

How long before I have to commit? I should do a Springs but these challenges/santas are such good practice.

 

[TheDustyZebra]

Oh, you have loads of time. I'm planning on doing the assignments at the end of the month.

 

[Tywin]

I humbly request a story with sharks with frickin' lasers on their heads. Robot sharks with lasers would be even better if the author could swing it, but mortal sharks are acceptable.

Also would like a protagonist with an embarrassing personal problem.

Arrrrrr... go on then, I'm in...

I'd like a story about a haunted something. Don't mind much more than that as long as it's not fantasy

[Remedy]

Hi TDZ, I'm in please!!!


I would like a sci-fi story about bionic / cybernetic humans with interesting weapons.

you mean ghosts are real? (hides under covers...)

 

[Perpetual Man]

Oooh there are quite a lot of these that I would like to write...

 

[Remedy]

... but no ick and no angst s'il vous plais, merci beaucoup.

What do you mean by ick and angst Jastius? Is the MC not allowed to worry about things or go anywhere slimy?

 

[Phyrebrat]

oh the joys of language. Heheh. I should have probably thought a bit more before I constructed that sentence but then on the other hand I'm a bit of a Carol-Ann myself so ... *

pH
*possibly Haley Joel Osment would be a more appropriate comparison

 

[Mith]

I'm still good for this, no request changes for me

 

[Glisterspeck]

I haven't taken part in this since the first one. Thought I saw in someone's post that there is a 1000 word target now. Is that right? (I think the one I did before was around 5,000.) Anyway, just wondering if a word limit had been added in the second go around.

 

[hopewrites]

No word limit. Time limit, but not word.
The thousand words is and has been a suggested minimum, a stipulation that basically says "Give it a good treatment. Let the story have room to run." But its pretty noholdsbarred writing in fullfilling the requests.
