RE: Finish The Story Contest - WEEK #30!
Out of affection for the bananafish I will give it another read and see if my imagination responds--it's not really up to me :)

That's cool. No pressure though.. that's just what happens to me when I don't entirely click with something, my rebellious side emerges. Marco does this all the times using the Tortillas de Pelo.. 😜
I very much liked your attitude when I told you the same. When no muse comes around the corner, one cannot force this shy thing. :) Only lure it. But even that does not always succeed. lol
Do you think that writing it prevents me from doing it anyway? Muahahahah!
I've been caught hahaha
HaHa! Exactly that were my first thoughts. No, I can't do it. No elves and orks. Too old for that. Lol.
Give it a try. I did my very best, too. Looking forward to your story!
I read yours. Amazing. Agile, lively, adept. Really a great take. I don't think I can...I tried reading again and my mind just doesn't go there.
Edit--Maybe I'll just take it off in my own direction. Not legitimate, perhaps, but create my own characters, my own scene. Just pick a small thread out of this. Can't get into this one. My way forward may not meet the requirements of Finishthestory, but it will be an interesting exercise. Thanks for the extra push :)
so much welcome. That was what I hoped for that you feel ... my artist friend here on steemit, @reinhard-schmid, sometimes jokes with me as I do not always follow the rules. But still, if they weren't there in the first place, the magic could not happen. To sometimes overstep them is as good as an experience as to follow them.
Happy!
Overstepping the rules, at times, is as necessary as thinking out of the schemes in my opinion. I saw a painting once by @reinhard-shmid, I still remember it.. he's a valuable artist..
you say it! Thinking out of schemes can only happen if there are schemes! :)))
Reinhard is the kindest guy I ever met on the Internet. I purchased one of his pieces through steemit and one he gave me as a gift. Just so.
Heh.. if you think about it also calling a first half of a story "fantasy" or any other genre is a scheme.. One of my favourite stories of the contest was from @flyyinkiwi .. it started in a middle age battleground (first half by @cyemela) and he made it end with a viking teleported by aliens in the middle of a fashon show in the Milan fashon week and a carnage 😂 Another awesome one was that of the guerrilla alpacas from @calluna..
absolutely so! Everything is a scheme! Schemes surround us!
😂 now, that I name skillful when I can buy it as a reader!
Your contest is inspiring a lot. When and how did you come up with it?
Oh now you tickle my ego, Erika! :-P Well, it's been very spontaneous as I just was terribly curious to see how different people, with different backgrounds, would have developed a common story.. I think that the SBI gave me the push. I wanted to share wealth with people but with who? I just didn't want to give SBI here and there random... so I thought, why not to share them with people that love to use their imagination like I do? Et voilà!
