RE: Farmpunk Fiction Contest 2019-1
Ohhh I was really hoping to get in on the next one of these but I don't know @quillfire well enough to incorporate him into a story as a character, and I don't really know what he lives for or believes in to turn that on its head. Although it is a very fun theme and I look forward to your other entries! Please can you let me know on discord/your channel when the next round is out? Thank you ❤️
@calluna, Quill is quite the sport. He really believes he is the reincarnation of Willie Shakespeare. And his favorite movie of all time is Tombstone. His favorite fruit is anything Taylor Swift is wearing. And he clips his toe nails with his teeth. In other words, he's pretty normal for a former hedge fund manager. Have fun. @Quillfire loves to have fun. That's what Steemit is all about. Plus, his favorite literary genre is farmpunk. And if you really want to make his day, put him in a room with Quetzalcoatl.
I am sure he is, hopefully you get some good entries that channel all that for you :)
:-) :-) :-)
Yeah, by all means @calluna, just make it up! That's what @quillfire does. But if you don't feel comfortable roasting the turkey, write something else. Or we'll see you next month. Bring the daisies! :-)
Thank you, its the real life part of the prompt that made me think I couldn't make it up, I have tried to give it a go without the roast bit, but I very much doubt I will have time before the deadline to finish it.
I was just after something relaxing to write yesterday morning, and to combine farmpunk with the humour of a roast, with the surrealism of real/fantasy swap seemed a bit much for my skills, on top of reading up on someone to get to know them well enough not just to write them in as a character, but to parody them, seemed a bit much for me. You already have a great entry though :)
Dropping the parody and roasting aspects, it is very appealing, just a bit tight on time today and tomorrow.
Well, we're certainly glad you thought of us. We'll try to come up with something more uniersal next time. 😃
@calluna,
Darling ... you could "Toast The Turkey."
Very British. Much more civilized.
Quill
Much more civilised, but just as hard ;)
@calluna,
Calluna ... just make it up! That's what Block does. Anyway, the genre is "FarmPunk" and the contest is being sponsored by "Garden Gnome Publications."
A Garden Gnome!
No one's going to mistake that for "Biography." For Heaven's Sake, ... have fun! :-)
Anyway, here's two posts to get you started.

Thank you for the extra resources, but I really think I will be better leaving it this round, the more I read over this, I am really not feeling the humour at all today and its just making me sad
