It's squeaky bum time. Story due tomorrow, and I've only just worked out what the story is (I think) after 1st draft. Needs a full rewrite tonight!

Do I just add a poll, and then we each upload our stories to it? Or does one of us e-mail the other person our story and one person sets it up?

I've seen that picture before. As a matter of fact I think it was used as a prompt in one of these battles or War a couple years ago. Can't wait to see what stories it inspires this time.

Ladies and gentlemen, germs and ghouls, Dwayne and I will be doing a double header on Saturday.
That's right, two stories by each of us!
One inspired by Sally Man's iconic Candy Cigarettes photo and one inspired by feet in Jello.
Saturday, Saturday, Saturday!
Four stories for your viewing satisfaction!
A Thunderdome extravaganza!
Come one come all!

Thanks to everyone who voted. I'm so happy you liked my stories enough to vote for them. Thanks for playing with me, Dwayne, that was really fun and I enjoyed reading your stories. You are very talented at setting a scene and dialogue. The opening line for your story Which Kid Is Yours? definitely shocked me when I envisioned it coming from that little girl in the Sally Mann photograph (I'm so glad the protagonist misheard that lol).
When we both get a chance, it looks like Jimothy and I will be going head to head. I've read some of his noir and it looks like this is going to be a good one.
Dwayne

Also, I fucked up and put up three posts and had to go back and delete two, so if anyone did vote you might want to check and make sure your vote didn't get deleted. Ooops.

Richard

PROMPT: Pick a David Bowie song, any song, and run with it. If you need this to be more specific Renee, I'd say pick "Starman" and/or "Space Oddity" as they have similar lyrics and tone.

War has been shifted back a week. Renee needed more time and I was gracious enough to allow it.
If she says it was anything other than my generosity, I would really question her motives.

I have been bested by one of the best.
The public has spoken. I am, for now, the weaker writer.
All Hail Renee.
All Hail the Pickup.
And she did it under a lot of pressure. Well played, well done, well written.
I know when I'm beaten, and I am beaten.
Whoa is me.
Thank you to all who voted for me.
