The Official AH “Pastiches de Oggbashan” Story Event Support Thread

Ok, nearly there. 10k words so far. I thought another 3k would see it done, but I may have underestimated it.

Giraffes, puffins, penguins, sheep... A Hapkido light sabre fight, coffee on the beach, classic English cars, karaoke...

I’d better keep going.

Excellent!
Mine's been done for a few days, and I've been fussing and tinkering with it.
It's definitely a departure for me, and it will be in a new category for me, too.

Don't tinker with it so much you forget to submit it. I have faith in you, Simon.

(not that you need my endorsement, or anything)

 

[whowrotethisshit]

Doing my last bit of editing right now with the help of a bowl of cereal.

 

[YDB95]

Mine is submitted. (Yes, it is the 7th here!)

 

[SimonDoom]

I don't need it, but it's welcome.

Don't worry, I keep tinkering, but the story is done, and I'll get it in on time. I might keep tinkering until the deadline, however.

My 15x50 based in Caroline's Total has been submitted. Thanks, Ogg! Thanks too to Vix for putting this together!

 

[LoquiSordidaAdMe]

I think one of my Fifties needs a re-write. I'm not super happy with it. It'll do if I can't do better by the 14th, but since I have some time, I'm going to take it.

Oh, and the title of mine is "Fifteen Women", a tribute to Ogg's "How To Write a Fifty-Word Story".

 

[ElectricBlue]

A short something just submitted, not quite 15 x 50, so I cheated: poetry.

But hey, we need a puffin reference, right?

Vaguely references Ogg's "Alice's Wonderland" (I can't resist a girl in a blue dress) and Jeanne's "Thermal" (nor a tight dress...).

 

[whowrotethisshit]

Came up with a better idea at the last second so yeah, sure, I'll rewrite half of it. I saved the old version to submit in case I run out of time, but I should be able to get it done.

 

[Rustyoznail]

But hey, we need a puffin reference, right?

Oh, bloody hell! Forgot the puffins!

(Races back to the draft for a quick rewrite...)

 

[KingsWoman]

I have put in an audio reading of one of Oggbashan's New stories: a Christmas one. Hope he enjoys it.

 

[LoquiSordidaAdMe]

Fifteen Women is done again and I'm much happier with the revision. I'd still love to get a second set of eyes on it before I submit. Anyone willing to give it a quick beta read? I'm happy to return the favor.

 

[Rustyoznail]

Strewth, it's the 11th already. So close... Must finish. No distractions.

LS, if you still need a beta reader, flick me a PM.

Dammit.

You can do it!

Don't be too hasty, though. You might leave out something essential. Like a puffin.

Puffins - tick
Penguins - tick
Sheep - tick
Giraffe - tick
Reference to Ogg’s story - tick

All done.

Oh wait. Forgot the erotic bit.

(Mad dash back to the keyboard...)

I'm curious to see how you weave together an erotic story with all those ticks. You don't usually think of ticks as erotic, but in the hands of a skilled author anything can happen.

 

[LoquiSordidaAdMe]

LS, if you still need a beta reader, flick me a PM.

Thanks for the offer, Russ. But UsuallyPresent offered and gave me the confidence I needed to click "Submit." Mine is in the queue and waiting for the 19th. Hope you get your ticks lined up to be there too.

 

[UsuallyPresent]

(Races back to the draft for a quick rewrite...)

Well, I have no living beings referenced in mine except humans, BUT! It's about pneumatic porn machines, so perhaps you'll allow me to get by with some puffin' instead!

 

[SimonDoom]

Submitted. I could have tinkered with it right up to the deadline but decided to get it in and move on.

I have a feeling the submissions for this event will be an eclectic and interesting bunch of stories.

 

[whowrotethisshit]

Submitted mine as well.

 

[Rustyoznail]

Done. Finally. I'd like to thank BelleCanzuto for editing it as I was finishing it. Love Google Docs.

Maybe a little polish - it's a bit rough near the end, but it will get submitted. And boy am I happy about that.

 

[ChloeTzang]

Still writing...... I think I’ll be late

You're welcome, Russ. I'm sure it will be well received.

Six little legs, the mind boggles. Makes a change from feathers, I guess. But RustyOz says he got those too - perhaps he's got a story set on the ark. I wonder if he'll get it past Laurel.

(Steeples fingers in a poor imitation of Monty Burns)

Excellent. They have no idea of the torment I'm about to unleash.

Smithers, release the Hounds of Heck!

- I'm sorry sir, you sold them last week to buy those supposed killer puffins.

Blast! Who knew there was no such thing!
