Springs has been very kind to you all: the nice, wide genre of Speculative Fiction.

TheDustyZebra · 1st February 2012, 12:08 AM

Speculative Fiction? What the...

Oh. Never mind. Knee-jerk reaction.

Yay! This sounds cool.

AlcubierreWarp · 1st February 2012, 01:26 AM

And done! Luck for me that midnight in the UK is still relatively early here. Thank you Springs for the great topic and genre!

I'll admit - I took devotion in the widest sense possible.

Yeah, nice, wide genre of Speculative Fiction. Bah. It's still a Valentine's nightmare theme.

It's worse than having Love as a theme.

I don't know, Karn, devotion can be a twisted, twisted thing. And knowing my form, it will be in my story.

High Eight · 1st February 2012, 03:40 AM

That was quick, I've actually done mine.

- Probably means it's lousy.

It's a severely butchered chunk of a short(ish) story I tried to write some time ago and never finished. It just seemed to fit the theme. I hope that what remains is still pretty coherent.....

Karn Maeshalanadae · 1st February 2012, 03:41 AM

Hey, I didn't say I was going to definitely back out. Especially after my absence last month, I'll try to come up with something.

I'm not making any promises, but I'll try to come up with something. I am starting to come out of things now.

Culhwch · 1st February 2012, 03:47 AM

Get back on the horse, Karn! Devote yourself to this theme!

I have a few stories I started to write and never finished that wouldn't have to be butchered much at all to fit the word limit! I can't think of any that would fit the theme, though.

Karn Maeshalanadae · 1st February 2012, 06:17 AM

Back in the game.

Actually, I feel this could have some potential. Word cuts, of course, shaved some quality off, but this one is readable, and I hope fitting to the theme.

Teresa Edgerton · 1st February 2012, 06:21 AM

A very good story, Karn.

Definitely back in the game.

Parson · 1st February 2012, 05:21 PM

It looks like some of you must have known the theme before it was Feb. 1 here. Come on guys, give a poor Parson a chance. Quality stories in less than half a day? Bah! I, I, mean good work guys.

AnyaKimlin · 1st February 2012, 05:25 PM

This has to be the most challenging story I have thought about - would an imaginary dog count as paranormal ? Would he need to be a ghost dog ?

I might as well have waited until the 23rd of February to see the topic and genre**, because there's every chance that I won't be able to come up with a story before then anyway.

(Unfortunately, I couldn't generate the Challenge thread while wearing a blinfold....)

springs · 1st February 2012, 05:29 PM

It's all right, I've known about it for days

and I have nothing.

*wanders off muttering about a stupid thing to do*

Entries are all excellent so far; nice to see you back, Karn (at least I didn't go with my first idea... first kiss, YA?)
