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

[SimonDoom]

I've finished my fifteen fifties a day ahead of schedule thanks to the holiday. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to squeeze in a puffin, which really is just such a great idea.

I don't supposed anyone would be willing beta-read them to make sure they're "oggy" enough? I'd be happy to return the favor.

Don't worry about whether it's Oggy enough. I don't think that's the point of this event. The point is to "pay homage to a friend and a colleague." That's how I took it, and that's how I meant my story. I didn't write it to try to duplicate his style. Inclusion of puffins is a good thing as far as I'm concerned, but it won't win you extra points from anyone.

Mine's done. 8,011 words, just needs an edit or two.

No, I suppose not. But if imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then I'd like to at least imitate well.

Oh yes it will, oh heathen who pays no attention to Ogg's signature block (unless he's changed it - I have all the flashing lights turned off so I don't see what folk have in their siggy blocks...).

EDIT - I've only just wandered onto these last two pages, and now realise Captain Doom has been making more than merry with maritime birds, and is being encouraged to do so by La Belle Dame sans Merci. I am now paying attention.

"I'm so excited," said Suzie. "Simon has finished his first story in... I don't know, ages and ages...


ages and ages...


such a very long time!"


"How did he manage that?" asked EB.

"To be honest, I really don't know," Suzie replied.

Just then, Simon's mom walked in. "That's the last time I dress up to encourage your brother," she said.

"What's wrong, Mom?"

"Penguins is one thing, but at least they stay close to the ground. Puffins, though... I'm afraid of heights."

"It's in a good cause, Mom."

"I know. That's the only reason I did it. Still, at least he didn't ask me to wear a big, false beard."

(Tries to twirl evil moustache, then remembers he shaved it off at the end of Movember)

Just you wait - puffins, sheep, a veiled cameo, and a couple of Lit references will appear in my story. I just have to finish it...

"I just have to finish it..."

"What's the matter, EB? You look unhappy." Suzie was bright and cheerful, her netball skirt pleasingly short.

"We've got another one like Simon, honey. Did you hear what he just said?"

"I just have to... Oh. I see what you mean. Wait, I know what to do." She got to her feet and yelled upstairs. "Mom, pack your bags. You're going to Australia!"

Meanwhile, in Victoria where summer is a top of 13 and raining, Russ is quietly contemplating his spag bol and stroking his extremely large cock. At least, that's what he's thinking after half a bottle of very nice Cab Merlot.

"Bloody penguins. How the fuck am I going to get a penguin into this story?"

He sighs and ejectulates into the sink. "More wine, I think..."

 

[NaokoSmith]

What an absolutely spiffing idea! I will try to read the rest of the thread, and contribute if I can.

Go to a restaurant on Philip Island and watch them...

Phillip Island in the middle of winter? Been there, done that. Not a lot of fun.

St Kilda’s an option. Hmmm... Now there’s a good idea.

Thanks Ogg! The trio of sheep, puffins and penguins is complete!

 

[Vix_Giovanni]

I used to put sheep in mine.

I seem to recall a hungry squid in there somewhere as well....

What an absolutely spiffing idea! I will try to read the rest of the thread, and contribute if I can.

Hope you’ll contribute and look forward to reading whatever you write! The rules are pretty simple and in the first post. No need to add animals, no need not to.

I'm sure you have the imagination to pull it off. I have confidence in you.

 

[LoquiSordidaAdMe]

Well, that's a relief.

Hey Vix, haven't heard from you in a minute. Hope all is well.

Aww, EB, Simon gets nibbled to death by puffins, and I get Keats? I'm almost flattered.

Make me a fragrant garland and maybe I'll moan while you dream your last dream.

I met a lady in the meads,
Full beautiful, a faery's child;
Her hair was long, her foot was light,
And her eyes were wild.

 

[BelleCanzuto]

Awww, thanks

Tony's flying solo at the moment. He's in for a shock when he has dinner at Vicky's.

Now, serious question. What goes with kimchi pancakes?

Sorry! I missed this.

My officemate, who introduced me to kimchi pancakes insists that the presence of all these little side dishes is the mark of a decent Korean restaurant: Korean Side Dishes

When I've eaten with her, I've usually had Bibimbap, which is rice in a stone pot with meat, veggies and an egg cooking on top (because it's so hot). You add hot sauce and whatever other condiments, and stir it all together.
My officemate likes the BBQ.

 

[Vix_Giovanni]

Well, that's a relief.

Hey Vix, haven't heard from you in a minute. Hope all is well.

Hey, Loqui! Hope you had a happy Thanksgiving! I’m excited to read you and UP’s 15x50s!

All’s well here; everything’s resolved and everyone’s well. I really appreciate you asking. Hope everything’s well for you, too

Just reading prior messages and want to make sure the event is still clear to everyone. There’s no need to worry about “Oggy-ness” (good word), or having enough references, or imposing any of the other additional writing restrictions mentioned over the last few posts. Add any ideas you’d like to your writing, or don’t add them—this event is open to all, and the event rules haven’t changed: choose an Ogg story that you’d like to write about, mention it in the author’s note and upload by Dec. 14th. Hope this is helpful!

Thanks again to everyone joining the event!

You're rewarding him for his bad behavior, BC. I thought you were better than that.

Thank you v. much. I must of course bring along my pussy (see avatar), but I will do my best not to be be beastly and distasteful

Oggbashan, as you know I am a terrible story writer - after all, I did get that unsolicited one star review on Amazon saying my safe-sex-werewolf story was 'depraved filth' (My download figures went through the roof )

I might ask my great friend Kingswoman to help me out, she who does audio stories - is there a (short!) story you would particularly like her to pastiche and read aloud for you?

 

[BelleCanzuto]

"Almost flattered;" he compared me to an avatar of Death. It's enough to give a girl a complex.

Ring ring, ring ring.

"Hello, is that Marvel Pictures? I've got an idea for a new franchise. Doctor Doom and the Avatar of Death. I've already got the cast lined up."

"Oh goodie," said Suzie excitedly, "another multiplex spectacular. When's it coming out?"

"I don't know," EB replied. "Simon's writing the screenplay."

Suzie looked around, a single tear on her cheek like a glittering jewel. "What... 2021? I can't wait that long. Auntie Belle, can you do anything?"

Honestly EB, I'm surprised you're not pitching "Adam Warlock and the Avatar of Death". But then, you don't actually watch those kinds of movies, do you?

Then again, while Lady Death is a Marvel character, "the cutest little Avatar of Death you've ever seen" is a DC character in Gaiman's Sandman comics. So maybe you'd rather pitch Warner Bros on a "Black Adam and the Avatar of Death" storyline and leave Marvel to Simon.

Well, fuck me! Have you been reading my story draft?

I thought you were a mind reading alien...

 

[Rustyoznail]

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.
