NYC Midnight Flash Fiction competition

I would email them and ask -- I'm sure it's fine, if you got the "received" email. You did email the backup as well, right? But nearly everyone seems to have gotten it by now, so it can't hurt to inquire.

 

[Cory Swanson]

I see no instructions for sending a backup email. Pretty sure I didn't do that last time either. Did I miss something?

 

[Cory Swanson]

Emailed them. I typed my email address incorrectly. I totally suck. All better now, though.

Here's my story. If anyone's paying attention, feel free to eviscerate.

Round 2 results tomorrow night. Any tips for time travel so I can know how I did right now?

Get a running start, slam your head into the nearest brick wall.

When you wake, voila - you will be in the future!!

 

[TheDustyZebra]

The suspense is killing me.

 

[TheDustyZebra]

And it's going to keep killing me until 3pm tomorrow. Gahhhhh. Going to bed.

 

[sinister42]

I'm annoyed. Ah well I'll keep plugging away at my NANO

 

[Cory Swanson]

It's just more time to prepare myself for inevitable disappointment. :0

 

[sinister42]

woot - I advance! Onward!

 

[TheDustyZebra]

Thirteen points in round two, and twenty is one short of what was needed.

 

[sinister42]

Aww. Sorry to hear that TDZ!

Oddly, I had 12 points in both rounds.

 

[TheDustyZebra]

I looked, and twenty would have been good enough in 69 of the 80 groups. Blargh.

 

[Cory Swanson]

I got second in round two and overall!! Moving on. Bummer TDZ. I definitely lucked out on genre.

 

[TheDustyZebra]

I was really lucky on genre, too, getting mystery and comedy. Just unlucky on group.

Action/Adventure, a fish market, a remote control.

The only idea I have is a guy running through a fish market chasing another guy who has a remote control that the first guy needs for some reason.

Hrmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I got Romantic Comedy, A Family Restroom, and Rubber Boots

I’ve got most of a story down about two ghosts who haunt the same family restroom and how they fall in love.

Not really my wheelhouse. Just hoping everyone else is as out of their element as I am.

 

[Cathbad]

Romantic Comedy, A Family Restroom, and Rubber Boots

Frankly, this sounds downright nasty!

 

[Cory Swanson]

Okay, draft finished. Anyone want to look it over for me? I’ll gladly reciprocate.

 

[sinister42]

Well I just wrote a bad episode of 24, but like, with a twist ending, so maybe that makes it better?
