After the complicated #6 and the open-ended #7, let's go with one that's
simple yet specific. Write a story about a protagonist coming into
conflict with an antagonist who is somehow their opposite.

These can be new characters or previously-established ones, heroes or
villains, and the conflict doesn't have to be a physical battle (but can
be). The opposite-ness can be in powers, in mindset, in what they
represent - whichever.

Andrew "NO .SIG MAN" "Juan" Perron, opposito senshi!

If we're getting down to not giving an extra hour, do you actually
mean Eastern Daylight Time?

... More seriously, I can't get much more opposite than my version of
Superman/Lois Lane vs. Lex Luthor. But I wrote that already, last
month, and I really shouldn't take contest credit for it.. ("Return
of the She-Ra Fight Club", that is.) Besides, I'm guessing you're
thinking more of Superman vs. another Kryptonian, so that's where I'll
be going with my plot. Not that I have anything in mind, or that I
even have a Krypton, but a concept is still a concept.

Oh, and congratulations.

Either way, really. (Heck, what set me off on this whole concept was
reading a collection of stories with Bizzaro.)

==Tom, should probably note that mine's not even remotely a superhero,
science fiction, fantasy, crime, or action story.
