Next meeting: Thu 27th October

[Hakim Cassimally]

Hi all!

Next meeting will be:

*** Thu 27th October 7:00-9:00pm ***
DoES Liverpool, 4th floor, Gostin Building (offices, left of the
retail part)
32-36 Hanover Street (between Central station and Liverpool ONE)
MAP + photo: http://bit.ly/Gostins
INFO: http://doesliverpool.com

Challenges set from last meeting included writing:

* Something with vampires (for Serafina, who hates vampires)
* Something Marxist (for Richard, who I may have slightly accused of
being too gentle to be a real revolutionary)
* Something with actual humans (for Hakim, who has been raving about
squirrels recently. The story should also have a kiss.)
* A chapter/scene of the story he has been planning (for Ashley)
* gosh, I can't remember what task we set Sean... the tasty Guinness
that he bought at pub after may be responsible. Can someone jog my
memory?

Of course, even if you weren't at the September meeting, feel free to
use one of those as a story prompt yourself!

See you next time,
Hakim

Hi All

Alas, I had to write something about a kitten.

Sean

[Hakim Cassimally]

A kitten, excellent.

Of course, if anyone wants to write a chapter about a Marxist human
vampire kitten, set in Ashley's steampunk world, on the theme of a
kiss, you get double bonus points.

And check in the dropbox Photo album for the relevant dress code for MHV kittens

OK, here is an approximately Marxist story, for a given interpretation of
Marx. I've put it in the Dropbox folder as well.

Hi Al and all!

So, so far we have:

- Al: Coffee Shop (posted in drop-box last week)
- Richard: Ruach
- Hakim: Elementa Calculi Magicorum

my story (attached) has Real People (and a duck) but no kiss. Well,
kinda, maybe. (I didn't get much chance to edit it this week).

If anyone else is submitting anything, then please go for it as soon
as you can. Cutoff for anything longer than 500-1000 words by
tomorrow (Tuesday) please ;-)

Cheers,
Hakim

If it's any help, I'm sure that SpecFicLiv would selflessly volunteer
to beta-test your cake ;-)

(And hope you can make it next time!)

Hi All,

I'll be there for the meeting, but I regret without the kitten story.

A bit short on time due to today's delivery of Adobe CS5.5 which has taken over my life.

So the Steampunk Vampire Marxist Kitten has to be next time.

I regret to say I took the jest by Hakim as a challenge.

The string of puns that have followed make even me flinch - 

from a variety of Marxism called Miaowism 

to a genetics laboratory on the Island of Doctor Miaow.

I'm so ashamed!

Sean

Hi all,

see you this evening! The stories submitted so far are as before:

>  - Al:  Coffee Shop (posted in drop-box last week)
>  - Richard: Ruach
>  - Hakim: Elementa Calculi Magicorum

so there's enough space to take a few more short pieces to be read
aloud, if anyone has anything,

Cheers,
H
