A Very Different POV Writing Contest [Nov2013][WINNERS ANNOUNCED]

reply to post by argentus


Wow, that list makes it really obvious that you have a great turnout. Kudos!

P

Finally, here's my third submission:

The Moon Spirit

I gotta admit, this was a bit challenging (finding 3 stories in 12 days!!!). I still find that my first one was the best of all threes.

I hope you enjoyed my contributions, and I certainly enjoyed those of you guys!

You certainly are a talented and prolific writer and I think these writing contests are a great way to stir up the creative juices and gain an insiders view at some ATS members' imaginative worlds.

We have quite the list going! Best of luck to everyone!

I almost did a story about Saiyans, but they're so close to human it feels like cheating.

Thank you very much!

I did too appreciate alot "In The Light". Everybody is always scared of aliens, but differences always attract in the purest way humans. There's no reason why a human wouldn't come to love an alien; and you described that process very well! I especially liked the description of the food... We're so used to them that we don't realise how they might look to others!

Do you plan to post two more stories?

Thanks, that story "The Joining" was more a beauty is in the eye of the beholder/experiencer regardless of who or what you are. Yes, it was an interesting thought process for me to tackle describing Earth's food as if it were for the first time.

Another story? I'm not sure how much time there is left before the end of this contest, and it takes me a while to ramp up my creative juices and latch onto imaginary characters and create the plot, etc. I don't like to rush my creativity, so it's kinda of like a "I've got nothin" right now - that one story is it for now.

The Joining. Oh, I'm sorry, I realize I wrote your avatar name instead of the storie's name!! Sorry!

Well, it's all right. There's... 10 days, including today, before the end of the contest. But I know the feeling. After my first story, I had absolutely no idea what to write, I've just given everything and all my brainpower into the first one, so after that, it was: "Ummm, now... what?". Luckily, I found a good excerpt of my novel that I could modify and use, so that became my second story; and then, while browsing through sci-fi/fantasy art, I found that shining spirit dancing under the moonlight, plus a passage from Tolkien's story about two elfs named Beren and Luthien, and it gave me the inspiration for my final story.

Sorry, I babble alot..

So anyway, take your time, and I look forward to your next story!
