Yes, of course, everyone is welcome here! Just keep in mind it could take a bit until I get to your suggestion, since I'm doing them all in order. But I will write a story for every prompt submitted!

Yesh, now hand me my walking shtick, boy.

Oh, and here's another story: http://bouffonbooks.com/2011/10/22/adolfo-and-the-cow/

It turned out to be rather disturbing, but that's mostly TomPravetz' fault for coming up with those weird concepts.

I think I love you. Now I must think some more! >:-D

Hmm...

The Setting:
-A quiet, happy family reunion in a nice town.

The Family:
-Papa: A kind man who makes his living as a banker.
-Ma: A stay-at-home mother who's sweet as molasses.
-Petey: The youngest of the children, and a bit of a loose cannon.
-Lily: The oldest of the children, loves horses and her boyfriend too.
-Ben: The middle child. Suffers from severe depression and hyperactivity.
-Grandpapa: Runs a local charity to help puppies with Tourette's Syndrome
-Grandmama: Passed away three years ago, is there in the hearts of everyone
-Francisco: The pool boy. Is only there because he is the best cook.
-Kyle: Lily's boyfriend. Has a puppy with Tourette's.

The Twist:
-They all die at the end. But not by "poisoned food" or anything that will just drop them all quickly. Preferably they all die in different ways, but still in the time-frame of one hour. Feel free to ask me questions if this isn't clear enough.

A story with all these elements: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Acj4g9p6Dwo
Pick 2 They Might Be Giants songs. Take 5 sentences from their lyrics (2 from one, 3 from the other), and work them in the story (but don't directly make a reference to it). They can be either part of the narration or a character's dialogue.

Also, at least ONE reference to a Spielberg movie (but not a sci-fi one).

Haggis · 10/24/2011, 02:53 am

Here you go, something new to read: http://bouffonbooks.com/2011/10/24/the-undead-penguins/

tbm1986 · 10/24/2011, 02:57 pm

A bunch of video game characters playing Texas Hold 'Em in a secret underground club. Oh, wait.

The landscape has changed. The year is 2200. Sea levels have risen. Computers got clever enough not just to become autonomous but also to drive humans almost to extinction (due to a complete collapse in the world economy and a coup for natural resources). Man is no longer the top of the food chain in the animal kingdom. Everything that was mechanised by the turn of the millennium is wired into the Hub. One man realises what he must do: finish off the remainder of the human race to cease their suffering.

RetroVortex · 10/24/2011, 03:01 pm

I haven't suggested a story for a while, so here's a nice one:

- Guitarists
- Wager
- Pie

Haggis · 10/26/2011, 02:57 am

tbm1986 · 10/26/2011, 08:05 am

Bloody hell, poor Haggis! You've got quite a backlog piled up there. How's about we say one story per person per week?

WarpSpeed · 10/26/2011, 02:27 pm

I didn't think he'd survive the initial onslaught of requests.

Let him work at his own pace.

No, I mean we should lessen the bombardment.

ted12 · 10/27/2011, 03:53 pm

Oh, thank god! For some reason, everyone started calling me Haggis while you were away. Maybe now it'll stop.

Nah, he can take it!

Besides, it's a really good exercise for him. Like I do with tributes.

Sooo why are you called Haggis? I mean, what's with the line under your username?

Haggis · 10/28/2011, 03:44 am

I don't mind about the backlog, as long it doesn't grow too big.

It just means that you'll have to wait a while until your story is written.

And here's a new one! http://bouffonbooks.com/2011/10/28/inside-out/

(Besides, I'm curious about ted12 being called Haggis as well... what's up with that?)

Oh my good dear word, Haggis, that made me laugh out loud a few times! It reminded me moderately of Hitchhikers.

...and that's my queue to submit yet another one!

Below are three sub-sections, one shall have both traits listed included in the story, one shall have only one, and the last section can use either one or two. You can choose which sub-section is used in which way.

-A Dinosaur Destroying a Community
-A Giant Game of Chess

-New York City During the Great Depression
-A Daytime Talk Show hosted by Large Wasps who only speak Portugese

-The Letter 'j'
-The Word 'the'

Haggis · 11/01/2011, 04:14 am

Sorry about not posting for a few days, but I've been working on my fundraising campaign for the book I'm writing.

Anyway, here's a new story! http://bouffonbooks.com/2011/11/01/my-head/

GaryCXJk · 11/01/2011, 12:12 pm

Okay, here's a difficult one, perhaps.

- Eldritch Abomination / Cosmic Horror
- Romantic comedy
- On the set of Jeopardy

Play it as straight as possible, meaning, the romantic comedy element should not be played as some form of parody but as an actual romantic comedy, and there actually should be a cosmic horror, Cthulhu style, either as a love interest or as an actual being of horror which brings the two lovers closer to each other. The last one especially would be hard without letting it devolve into straight-up horror and without letting the cosmic horror element down, although the former would be very challenging to let it be both romantic and comedic without making it feel like some parody.

Good luck, soldier! Make me proud!

lizbethlizard · 11/01/2011, 12:26 pm

Hokay, another one *bombardment mode on*:

the story must include:
- the line: "Uschi, I love you, I want a child from you" (it has to be said by a girl, by the way)
-Pepsi has to play a major role
-a minimum of 3 chuck norris facts
-Aaaannnd ... um... the word "Isoprophylprofimilbabitursourphenyldementylaminop hyrazolon"

Good luck, dude!

"Then suddenly, a wolf appeared by the road. Its coat was not the typical mixture of brown and grey though. Its hairs were like threads of silver."
