CAPTIVATE REVISION AND NEW CONTEST!!

  • Jul. 6th, 2009 at 2:35 PM

First off, thanks to everyone who dealt with my insanity during the week of:

1. Ants in the bed
2. Revision deadline

You are all so nice. I do not deserve you.

First, good news! I TURNED IN THE CAPTIVATE REVISION!!!! 

CAPTIVATE is the sequel to NEED.

I even turned it in on time despite the evil UPS man not bringing it in a quick manner.

YAY!

CONTEST TIME:
Every Monday I post a picture that I've taken and you can (if you want to potentially win something) write a story or blurb or dialogue or poem or whatever about the image. Then there will be a random winner on Friday. I will post the winner on the next Monday.

Here is this week's picture



Last week's random winner is mostly_irish. YAY! Send me your address, baby!

Here is her randomly winning caption with the picture!


Fluffy paused, all six senses on alert, as she heard footsteps approach. She had just made contact with the Mother Ship's land-probe...The Plan would NOT be jeapordized by these foolish humans now when she was SO CLOSE...

Mustache Man cringes as he notices the alien parasite's attempts to engulf and transform his friend, distracting him from his own predicament. Unfortunately, it is too late for both of them...

~OR~

Man in purple suit (an alien in disguise): You know, I don't think we're fooling anyone with these suits. Let's go to some other planet to find children to abduct.

Man in black and white thinks to himself: "I can't believe he'd go out in public like that...I mean, purple? Really? Some people have no shame."

The trick is to make the ants help in the revision. If they wanna live there, they gotta earn their keep! ;-)

Oh, I love the Barney look, but frankly, it's the #1 cause of embarrassing male problems, if you know what I mean.

Laughing at the captions! Good to hear about Captivate. I enjoyed Need and I'm glad there's a sequel!

I'll probably be back later with a caption of my own =D

Christine, that is so funny. Did you read Bridget Jones Diary when she dressed up like a tramp because she thought it was that kind of party? I loved that.

Thank you for the congrats!

That's great news about the revisions!

And as for your random image... "You young cosplayers don't know how lucky you are, with your mecha, and your magical girls, and your other series. In my day, we cosplayed as Dino, and penguins!"

Congrats on the revisions! I can't wait for CAPTIVATE to be published so I don't have to re-read NEED again (for a while, at least). :D

Also, a pic blurb:

Mr. Black-and-White: "I TOLD you not to dress up like Barney again."
Mr. Purple: "Hey, how was I supposed to know he'd beat me up for it?!"

Barney beat him up, of course. What a hypocrite he is, what with that "I Love You" song of his and all. :P
