[allmywires]

I don't know WHY on earth I feel like I would have time to do this but what the hell...entered...

 

[sinister42]

Well I've just been unceremoniously booted out of NYC Midnight so I'm looking forward to this one.

Me too. I pulled down an honorable mention, but don't get to write this weekend. Boo!

 

[sinister42]

I didn't even get that. It was the damned genre. Whatever they think "political satire" is bears no relation to what I think "political satire" is. The judges' feedback was a lot of insulting nonsense. Ah well.

 

[TheDustyZebra]

I forgot to go and read yours!

I got an HM too, one spot above last year’s if they list them in order. So sixth place.

Onward and upward!

 

[sinister42]

Here's mine - "political satire, scandal, prisoner's wife." I liked it.

[Luiglin]

My random three options are interesting and go well together, unlike last year.

Title HUMAN SHIELD
Dialogue Close your eyes, let me put this on your head... gently does it... now?
Science (optional) Cellular signals start to change brain chemistry

Anyone else?

 

[Biskit]

I completely forgot about this. Mine are

Title TIMELESS CLASSIC
Dialogue Nothing's impossible, that's what you always taught me.
Science (optional) New Psychotropic drug creates telepathy/telekinesis

Not sure I actually have time to do it.

 

[Cathbad]

Yeesh.

Title: ERROR ERROR
Dialogue: I have never seen one but heard they are simple brilliant, have you seen one?
Science (optional): Frozen for millennia, a humanoid 'survivor' awakes

 

[Cory Swanson]

Title: You Can’t Be Everywhere at Once

Dialogue: She’s the expert, hand it over to her. That way we have someone to blame when it goes wrong.

Science: A yearlong eclipse changes the world forever.

 

[Bagpuss]

I've ended up with:

Title: The South Bank
Dialogue: “It says Urgent Action is now required - so now what?”
Science (optional): Only twins are born from now on.

Not really sure what I'm going to do with that.

 

[Cathbad]

Science (optional): Only twins are born from now on.

If I were you, I'd opt out of this optional "science"!!

 

[Cory Swanson]

My biggest problem with mine is the title. My story is developing fine, but that dang title just doesn’t fit.

Maybe you could use it like a Philip K Dick sort of title?
