Quoted from Mr. Blonde

I believe you can do this. With all the games in the history of the world, you know you've got something really special in the back of your mind that's just ready to pop.


"Pop" or "poop"? both words would fit nice in this context I think.

Yes. Lol. =)

When in doubt, write about pinball. We haven't had one of those in a while. In fact, the last one I remember really well is "Are You Afraid of the Dark"'s "The Pinball Wizard". Great episode, by the way.

Anthony,

Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

"Family'? Has to be member of a group related by blood? Like Father, Son, Mother, Grandma or like members of Charlie Manson Family?

Sure Mr Blonde will respond but definitions tend to be fairly loose... so I think Manson Family would count, plenty of scope for some f**ked up games there

I wasn't going to take part, I'm too busy, but the OWCs have always been one of my favorites and sure enough, last night my idea came to me in a dream. Amazingly enough, it sounded like a pretty good idea in the morning too, so I'm going with it. Can't help myself.

My first idea was to do something with Monopoly, where every play happens in real life (e.g. going to jail). But I've only played it once or twice and am not well-versed.

So I picked a different game and plot, and the idea has a lot of potential. Let's see how it materializes over the week.

I'm still waiting for my muse to smash me over the head

You can absolutely do a story involving them playing some sort of game. Just make sure that they're playing a game that really exists (and you don't have to get hung up on the family part. That was just a lead-in to the contest, not a requirement of it).

Ah a trip down memory lane...

See! First one submitted and...WHAT?! I gotta do another??
Drat! Foiled again!





Quoted from Mr. Blonde


Well, if Bunnyman makes a cameo appearance, I can't stop you. If you want to involve some time travel, you'd have covered my three OWCs in one entry... =)


Eureka! I got it! Thank you!
See, Bunnyman and Goatman are playing a game of chinese checkers....

Blondie, I'm hopefully gonna bulge it and get this done and submitted tonight (Tuesday here in the land of Oz) as I am flying out to Melbourne tomoz. If I don't get it done to my satisfaction, I can finish it on the road on my Ipad but will have to submit by email as it won't work on the ipad using the normal submission page on SS.

Cheers in advance!

Lol Darren!

The big question is: to Bunnyman or not to Bunnyman? =)

How is everyone else doing with their entries?

Don't know about this one. No idea has really stuck yet.

Just finished off another short I was doing so I suppose I have some time now to really think.

Hope it's going well for everyone else.
