Mon/Wed/Thu for December meeting? (and brief writeup of yesterday)
osfameron
been able for a while so... let's see if we can agree on another date!
Before Christmas, how about:
Monday 12th December
Weds 14th
(Thu 15th as fallback)
?
I'll vote for Monday 12th. Anyone else?
Yesterday, me, Serafina, Richard, and Julian met and talked about:
- For the Romanian People, by Richard.
An alternate history of the Romanian revolution, with vampires!
And kittens!
We loved the detail, and wondered if the pacing and reveal would
be improved by
being expanded into a longer piece.
- Runners (second part of chapter, somewhat revised), by Hakim
Good questions raised: why do they run? What are they raising?
Who pays them?
Why? Why don't they just use a mobile phone!
We also attempted to jam a 100-word story, inspired by the session we
did at Barcamp at weekend:
this attempt wasn't quite as successful, but a valiant attempt
nevertheless!
Challenges included some variant of:
- Serafina: cyberpunk robo-choir
- Richard: unicorns with guns
- Hakim: Pope Berlusconi
- Julian: (to bring in section from his NaNoWriMo WIP)
Other announcements:
* Serafina and Richard will be singing on Sat 17th Dec at All
Hallows, Allerton, 7:30pm, a concert of Christmas songs. (Ticket can
be bought on door)
* Twisted Tales is on tonight (Friday 25th) in, er, one-and-a-half
hours, eeek!
