Announcing our Wherefore Art Thou story competition

Quote by KimmiBeGood

Me: Let’s write a sexy love story involving art! 😀

My imagination: yeeeah… no.

Me: But why!?!?

My imagination: I’m in my dark era.

Me: But but but… readers are calling me KimmiBeCreepy

My imagination: It’s a compliment.

Me: Well, we aren’t offing anyone!

My imagination: Just two. 😈 But they weren’t fucking, so it’s okay. 😎

What about DarKimmi?

Word #243 the last time was kinda suspect.

Okay, I admit it, word #243 was totally AI. But the rest of them: Pure genius!

Dammit Kimmi!

I’ll still publish 1st idea outside of comp since it’s written. It’s just not right for the comp.

Soooo… on to comp idea #2. It’s sexier, but someone still goes bye bye. Oops.

"Art is a lie that makes us realize truth."

😊

Hope I actually finish a story for this, great theme. Have a couple of ideas percolating....

Vacations are always fun to write about.

Well, some people try to pick up girls
And get called assholes
This never happened to Pablo Picasso
He could walk down your street
And girls could not resist his stare and
So Pablo Picasso was never called an asshole

So, Canadians are taking over the world, eh?

Better them than us Americans, given our current state of things.

Why would anyone want to take over that dysfunctional thing? Just create your own in your head and live chaotically in that instead. Much more fun to do.

I'm getting somewhere on mine! I'd already figured out the type of art, the characters and the (sweeping, multi-location) setting, but it took a while to sort out the plot. Yes, there will be a plot.

And I just finished drafting the first of five scenes I have plotted out. So, progress.

AFTERNOON UPDATE: finalized the title and created cover images.

Love that song.

Wasn't there two entries yesterday? One vanished. What happened?

Mine was removed because I inadvertently used an entry that would have been a sequel to an already published story. Apparently that doesn't count, although it could have stood as a stand alone tale.

But it was written as a sequel to a published story, it was not intended as a standalone story.

This condition has always applied to all comps.

Ohhh okay I saw that and was like did the rules change or something?! But okay, good to know.

I might be basing my comp story around music. But I reserve the right to change my mind multiple times before the deadline.

I had a similar thought - but I think if I involved music to my story I'd need more than 5k words LOL.

Music!
