FAWC You, Two!

I feel your pain. I got the one thing I am not sure I can pull off. I also got a mix that made me scrap a bunny I had for this. I might be chopped! lol

Well all is not lost. I have a decent bunny that will work with all 4, two of them really well.

But I am going to take a couple of days seeing if I can't come up with another as I had added a further challenge for myself.

I told myself no matter what I received I would fit it into a certain category and nothing is even remotely tingling yet.

Well, one is, but it would be way too nasty and I'd rather keep this light hearted.
 
I'm thinking of writing in the POV of the ground. (joking) So I just see the bottom of it. :)

There can be some pretty nice views from the ground, especially if there are women in skirts around (bonus points for finding the ones going commando :devil: ).
 
If it's not too late - I think I'd like to play along. Just finished up a mess of stories, and could you a nice little break...

I'm ready for my basket.


TTT

"And today, I was walked on by a man in a kilt. Not too many of those in my neck of the woods - men in kilts, that is. This one was well hung and I like to believe he was chasing the full skirts of the bar wench who just moments before ran across me, giggling."

I have a friend of mine that always wears a kilt to our SCA events. Well, one year he entered a Highland type games we were having. He was doing this thing where you race from one side of the field to the other, spin around ten times then try to race back.

His kilt spun out level with his belt.

He received special mention and a thank you from the queen at court that night after feast.

We have never let him forget it.

I have many, many fond memories of the Ren Faire mud pit. Having just moved back here from a 15 year exile in the midwest, I was disappointed to hear of its demise.

Ah, the views of the bawdy wenches, and men in tights with roaming hands. And those skinny, shirtless buffoons performing their slapstick routines in 90 degree heat.
<sigh>

Thanks for refreshing some great memories, RMB.
 
I think all the information for the contest should be upfront, including the ingredients.
 
I say back end, I'd rather not have people "grading" the story to see if I used my 4 ingredients properly rather than just reading it.

If they are looking or waiting for something they are not enjoying the flow of the story.

But if you put it at the end, then people will have to go back and think it over, or look it over -- if they put that much thought into it -- and might change their opinion after. And you're not necessarily asking the reader to "grade" you on the ingredients unless you phrase it that way. You're just saying that my story involves elements A, B, C, D.

Honestly, though, I'm not sure it makes much difference. We all just need to pick one, and then we'd all be under the same handicap.

I agree at the end of the day it is not a huge deal, but we were asked our opinions and I hold to putting it a the end.
 
There is something a bit ironic when erotica writers can't decide back or front...

Either works well for me (grins) so when someone comes to a decision let me know and I'll make sure to get it in the right place.

In the middle of a research and info gathering nightmare for this story but having a blast. My basket included two things I had hoped to not get and one that was just a bit weird. (I think LC mentioned something about that sort of thing happening) The story idea just popped into my head, on Friday night an hour after getting the basket, demanding that I get it going.

Best of luck to all and I might have a shoehorn if anyone needs it to get an 'ingredient' to work in their story. It's slightly used due to the weird one I mentioned.

I say might due to the fact I'm only 5000 words in. By the time I'm done I may have worn the shoehorn I have to a frazzle.

Pops plot bunny on the head to make it stop gnawing on my foot. "I'm writing you already. Stop it!"

Goes back to Googling and watching U- tube for info on how to do stuff I've never done. Now if I can just sell stuff I've never done as something I know a lot about.
 
I'm for having the contents of our basket up front; that's the whole idea of this exercise anyway, how creative we can be with the subjects given to us.

I'm pleased with the items in my basket and have already begun writing a story utilizing them. :D
 
Me, too! I've got 3 of them working but man that 4th one is a bitch. How to use it without it seeming forced or pointless?
 
Glad to see everyone's having so much fun with this. :p

I have to admit I'm suffering from the same malady that seems to be afflicting a few others; working in that fourth damn ingredient. It's like, I've already got the perfect meal cooking, and you want me to add more to it?

Maybe I should have just gone with three ingredients . . . .

But the challenge is what it's all about, right?

Right?

*putting on body armor and crash helmet* :D
 
I hadn't thought much about where to mention the ingredients until tonight. If we follow the premise of the TV show, then I say at the beginning. The audience knows what the chefs have to work with from the start, so we should let the readers know what we had to work with from the start.

That seems to be the majority opinion and my thinking on the matter as well.

I spent the day reorganizing the two closets I have here instead of writing or reading the forum. Darn OCD wanted them different than they were. :rolleyes:

I'm glad my OCD only kicks in when I write. :p

Oh, and cook.

Um, and when it comes to my classes . . . and yard work . . . and . . . .

I just moved here two weeks ago and I've changed things in those closets several times already.

When my OCD bugs me that much, it's because my brain is unsettled. Calm the brain and it eases the OCD. Simple. ;)

So you say. :p

I had a friend once who claimed he did not suffer from OCD.

"It's OCO. Obsessive-Compulsive Order."

I kind of like that. ;)
