Sunday Plot Luck #1 — Sep 6

Ongoing

Word Limit: 1500

The wheels have spoken and our first week’s chaos is:

🏕️ SETTING: A Haunted House 🎭 SIDE CHARACTER: A Sassy Dragon ⚡ CONFLICT: A Shortcut Gone Wrong

That’s it. That’s all we’re giving you.

Is this a fun house or a house that’s haunted? What kind of short cut was taken a task or a route? Is the dragon helping or simply standing there judging everyone’s poor life choices? These are ideas for you to explore.

Write it. Draw it. Turn it into a poem. Take it somewhere dark and unsettling or make us laugh. However the wheels spark your imagination, follow your Inkling and see where it goes.

Responses

"The House On The Hill" — Mark Farley’s wandering’s : The Dame’s Tuesday baking went haywire when a stray spark of magic changed her cow into something unexpected. The poems characters are based on the British tradition of the Christmas pantomimes.

"The Heliotrope Dragon" — Wendy Cockcroft : Hansel and Gretel are lost in the woods again. When the promise of a meal leads them to a strange house, will they be fed—or food?

"Tolbiris the Mighty" — Dave Boyko : Who wins in a fight between a dragon and a necromancer?

The wheels have spoken and this week’s chaos is:

🏕️ SETTING: Fishing Upon a Lake 🎭 SIDE CHARACTER: The Voice in Your Head ⚡ CONFLICT: Someone Important is Missing

Fishing upon the lake with nothing but the.. the voice in your head. Yeah. Perfectly normal fishing trip.

The thing is… Is this just any other cosy trip, or are you… up to something. What is the voice in your head saying? Is it just light hearted banter, or words weighted with guilt? And who is this missing person? Do you find yourself pondering over the mystery? Or are you the cause of it?
