Writing prompt 93

I knew it was wishful thinking on my part but the light was on in her lane and I only had milk and eggs.

Writing Prompt # 92

Imagine a society that only has three laws. They can be as complicated or as simple as you like, but there can only be three.

Writing Prompt # 91

Marie woke up in a strange place,again. Well, at least it seemed strange to her. She was not sure that it was really a strange place, it could have been a quite normal place for all she knew, but to her is was quite strange. She had been told that the occasional case of amnesia would come from the years in stasis, but every time she woke up in a strange place it disturbed her. What had she been doing? Where had she been? Was any of this real? Certainly The technology here seemed like magic, so maybe it really was in some way, or maybe she was just really behind the times.

Writing Prompt # 90

Today's prompt is "Christmas"

This is a special prompt because I am sharing the prompt with the 100 word stories podcast. We are trying to make the Christmas episode the biggest one yet, and to that end...




Call for 100 word stories
For the past week or so I have been writing 100 word stories based on the titles of Lawrence Simon's 100 word stories. If you didn't know The 100 word story podcast along with a couple of others was what got me into podcasting and writing again, and so I credit them with any success that I have had in either of them. The 100 word story podcast was the basis for my story story contest called Great Hites and Lawrence himself gave me the the title "The Hite of Podcast Fiction." So I do owe him big time.

With that in mind I am starting a campaign. No, I am not running for president, and no I am not suggesting he run for president. (Can you imagine Planet X calling the shots?) In two weeks on Christmas Lawrence will host a show with the topic of Christmas. I am asking all of you out there to help me give Lawrence a huge Christmas gift. We are trying to get a triple digit number of stories. 100 stories would be perfect but, if we get more than that, the more the merrier.

You know you have a little (100 words) Christmas story in you. Here is all you need to do. Write a 100 word story on the topic of Christmas, and record it. The follow the directions below. Get it in by midnight on the 24th and we can make this this best 100 word stories yet. Stay Tuned for updates. If you can leave a comment here that you have sent in a story and I will keep a running tally.


Here are the instructions stolen from the horses mouth as it were.


Hello. This is Laurence Simon of the 100 word stories podcast. Welcome to 2011!

The 100 word stories weekly challenge is where I post a topic to http://podcasting.isfullofcrap.com and then you write and record a story based on that topic.

The topic of the 25th of December Weekly Challenge is Christmas.

Want to give it a shot? Send an email to isfullofcrap (at) gmail.com with the subject of Christmas WEEKLY CHALLENGE and the following:

The text of your 100 word story on the topic.
Your site's URL, if you have a site or aren't ashamed to share it.
A topic for the next Weekly Challenge
And, if you can, a recording of your story (and any shameless plugs) in MP3 format

Everything's due by Saturday at midnight or so.

If you can't or don't feel like recording your story, well, go ahead and send the text of the story in anyway. I'll have someone record it for you.


Good luck, and as always, keep it brief.
