Ladies and Lords...

I'm super excited there's another OWC. It's more wide open this time with lots of ways to interpret.  I came up with a solid hook, but may abandon it after some research. There are some interesting takes on history available.

I wonder what you guys are thinking in regards to the setting.

I'm thinking this challenge is primed for a variety of landscapes. Any else going outside North America? (Without spoiling anything.) There's enough variety in Europe alone. This might help for those wondering about setting. India. Africa. Arctic. At sea. Just throw in some horror.  I love it.

I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with. It's really inspiring to read different takes. Especially when you're working under the same guidelines. I love the variety of voices from the last OWC and expect the same this time. Being a fan of the genre, I hope someone really goes for it and just delivers pure unrelenting balls-to-the-wall horror. Uh... know what I mean.

Good luck all...

Quoted from wonkavite Demin short wearing Aussie warlocks?  I *like* that idea!  (And someone else mentioned transgendered warlocks. Also pretty tantilizing.)

Glad to be of service. That's why us Aussie hunks were put on this Earth....

To bring happiness all over the world.

Quoted from Dreamscale Thanks, Reap!  Yes, Willowick - a good "modern day witch" story.

Yeah, that script came to mind as well. Nice piece of work by the old Jwent.

as to where he is, who knows?  Cleveland folk alway tend to be on the...odd side, lol

There are certainly lots of locations that could be used for witchcraft: Africa, Romania...pretty much anywhere.

I myself am wary of using a setting that I am not familiar. For example, I would hesitate to set my story in an African village because I'd get too much of it wrong.

But it'll be cool if other people use settings like that, I look forward to reading them.

Good luck!

unless I can get something on page tonight or early tommorow this may not happen. If so I'll enjoy reading what you guys come up with. :}

i have a first, very ugly draft, but it's a draft

it's the type that you just know some will hate, whilst the others wont like it, but, i think it has something. the question is, can i extract the best out of it in the time?

like others i have had a busy week so the time to fine tune is limited. we shall see but i should enter.

Still nothing for me, but at least I'm doing my research now and I have a setting and general character sketches.

Setting - Way under some ocean

Characters - a shark, an octopuss, and a sperm whale

Plot - modern witches

Yeah, it's gonna be good!!!!

Damn, I missed out on that? Why oh why did my parents move from Melbourne when I was five?!?  (Actually, that's completely true BTW.)  Of course, I never would've met Phil, then...  

(Quiet in the peanut gallery, all a' youse!)

I got:

Setting - Starbucks seating area

Characters - Two bored housewives and an unemployed former mortgage loan officer trying to seduce them

Plot - modern witches



Actually I haven't the slightest idea of WTH I'm gonna do in the next... 24hrs before I'm outta time.

I'm starting to get the creepy feeling I'm scrrrrrrewwwwwed.
Normally I have about four or five ideas by now.
Maybe tonight I can cheat the sleep devil and burn some oil til dawn.

I amy be screwed as well, as my back just went out and I'm in a shitload of pain.

Hey sweet, Janet! So were u born there? My sister lives there. So does Cornie!  Tell us the story please!

Oh, and my OWC is going along nicely. Changed my original story a bit and am halfway through.

You need a Jagie witch bitch brew, bro!  

Stupid body.

Hate that for you, man.



Want me to send a witch over to give you a healing spell?
Maybe ride your broom?

These are wide-open parameters, but why am I having more trouble with this than when they're super-restrictive? Glad to know others are kind of in the same boat.

Hey Stevie -

I wasn't born there; but my parents moved from Long Island, NY to Melbourne when I was about two.  They stayed for a few years...then moved to Oklahoma (of all places.)  Then - when I was eleven, we moved to NYS...and I've been a lover of NYC since college.   I think we lived in Laylor??

That said, I have LOTS of Little Golden Books with Skippy the Kangaroo and Humphrey Bear, and pictures of Koalas...  And I can still settle back into the accent whenever I want!
