DISCUSSION -- October 2015 300-word Writing Challenge (#19)

[Ursa major]

The 300-worder is up. As always with the longer form, entries can be posted from the 10th of the month (in this case October), but that doesn't mean no-one can talk about the challenge until then.

And as ever, the image is only there to provide inspiration; your story does not have to reference it, even indirectly.

 

[Droflet]

Wow, what an image. Well no excuses this month. If I write something crappy I can't blame the inspiration (this time).

 

[LittleStar]

Does look like an image that will bring up some great stories. Looking forward to writing, and then reading the entires already

 

[Dan Jones]

Blimey, that is pretty intense. I've got a good feeling about this month already

Good luck finding your mojos, everyone!

 

[Mr Orange]

one glance at the picture and the "feeling" of the story is already there. just need to find the story now...

EDIT: Also, i'm impressed that NASA follows the Chrons and submitted a picture....

Where do you think they do all their recruitment?

 

[Perpetual Man]

A really great picture, ideas buzzing already. I've never seen this member NASA before, what's his real name?

 

[Droflet]

Really guys, modesty forbids.

 

[Ursa major]

I suppose I could have just typed "Public Domain", but at one o'clock in the morning, and with my iffy typing skills, I thought being slightly more precise with the attribution was the safer option....

 

[Dan Jones]

Yes, one can never entirely rule out being shanghaied off to Cape Kennedy and launched to Mars at the behest of an irate gaggle of NASA engineers for copyright infringement. Trust me...

Kevin

Kevin

A big thanks to Kevin for his lovely photo... This should be a fun month!

 

[Phyrebrat]

Errrr.... The correct honorific is Kevin the Astronaut; or have we forgotten our manners?

[Droflet]

Or, maybe all he says is, "I am groot."

 

[Denise Tanaka]

It was so cool at Worldcon (Sasquan) this year that Dr. Kjell Lindgren was a special guest of honor - remotely by video - while floating about the international space station.

 

[Mr Orange]

Errrr.... The correct honorific is Kevin the Astronaut; or have we forgotten our manners?

Kev's never been one for honorific's though, and these days he doesn't like to draw attention to the fact he's an astronaut, not since the whole "mooning" misunderstanding...

i think i've been at work too long

 

[Perpetual Man]

Umm, don't know what's wrong with me. Not only have I written a 75 word already today, but I've just completed a 300 word as well. (Rattled it off and it came straight in at 300 words no less)!

 

[Denise Tanaka]

Oh woe is me! I woke up with a great idea. I've type 500 words so far and I'm nowhere near the "good part" yet! And now I have to stop and do research about electricity stuff. What to do. What to do.

 

[Dan Jones]

What to do. What to do.

MAKE IT UP!



No-one will ever know.

 

[Juliana]

Okay, I have something. And a few days spare to tighten and polish. It's a little dark but hey, I'm not the one who chose 'thunderbolt and lightning, very, very frightening'!!
