...My post titles are in no way self-aggrandizing.
Last year, I asked readers to contribute a series of "wild cards" to a piece of fiction I would then write. The wild cards could be anything: plot points, words, topics, characters, sentences. Some commenters kindly indulged me, and the result was this story... Definitely the most popular work of fiction this blog has ever produced.
So, with precedent as my guide, I ask my readers to throw in their suggestions. From which wild cards will I cobble together my next attempt at CP-themed fiction? Anything goes, except direct contradictions (that is, if the commenter above you wrote, "only canes," don't you go writing "only birches," please).
Whaddya got?

Watermelon seed spitting contest! Sorry...it's the first thing that came to mind, and I really like it.
ReplyDeleteKingfishers. Also, a first kiss.
ReplyDeleteI have a lovely poster of a Kingfisher that I really have to get up on my wall sometime. Ok, that wasn't the suggestion, sorry, Haron just reminded me.

A cellar door :D
ReplyDeleteGood luck! (that last one is an actual wish, not a wild card...)
Thanks, guys. I'll see what I can do for ya.
ReplyDeleteI hope I'm not too late, Graham?! In case I'm not: How about a nice but (at first?) shy science fiction geek as one of the characters for your story? Looking forward to reading the result of your creative work! :-)
ReplyDeleteYour comment is my command, Kaelah.
ReplyDeleteThe story is beginning to take shape in my head, so I'm going to close comments on this before someone destroys my vision! Thanks for all your suggestions, and for indulging me.
If I'm not too late...
