A Dark Yellow Ooze On The Floor

…and while they argued about what it was, the bandits crept up behind them

DUDES! CONTEST!

In mid August, I’ll be posting the final post in my year long quest to post some bit of creative writing every day. In honor of completing this mad experiment, I’ve decided to hold a contest. Well, ok, more of a BRIBEfest.

The prize? YOU get to be the final entry. Yes, I will do a long writeup of you set in any genre you choose. Or even a mix of genres. Thus, your immortality is assured.

How do we play this game? Simple…you offer me bribes to do it. REAL bribes, involving REAL stuff. Cash is ok, but I’ll look more favorably on STUFF. Best bribe wins.

Stuff I like would include: bandanas (but be warned, I own over 300 of them, so you’ll probably need to actually make some out of some cool looking cotton print)

Beer, single malt scotch and tequila

Little plastic figures (but I already own tons of animals, army guys, M.U.S.C.L.E. Wrestlers, dinosaurs, etc, so you might need to look outside the U.S.A. For some)

T-shirts with cool tie dye patterns or basset hounds on them

Converse high top tennis shoes in red, green, yellow, orange, purple or tie dye. The shoes need not be the same color.

Creative and cool stuff you make. Anything steampunky or pulp heroy gets extra points.

And finally, at the expense of my macho image, strange and cool stuffed animals (and no, smartasses, I’m not talking about taxidermy). I already own stuffed chickens, hedgehogs, platypi, an octopus, teddy bears (including Owsley, a very bad bear) and basset hounds.

But really, if your bribe is something else (including cash), you could still win.

Offers of a sexual nature, while flattering, must be declined. I think. Maybe you could ask Grace. Sorry guys, but mansex is right out.

The contest closes on August 8th, so get your bribes in to me here, on my Facebook Wall, on my Google+ wall or at doccross@aol.com.
