For this week’s challenge, an odd sort.
I want you to write a story of going against authority. That can mean whatever it means — but I want it to be a story with attitude, with a take-no-shit, have-no-fucks style. Whatever genre, whatever theme you want.
Get rude.
Be profane.
Middle fingers up.
Chaos and rebellion and whatever else you care to muster.
Due by: noon on Friday, 3/31.
Length: 1000 words
Post at your online space.
Give us a link below.
Fuck yeah.

Well, I sat down and 1,000 words later, the story is done. It’s a more subtle F-you and I hope people get it. I’ll post it Friday. Thanks for making me work my creativity. I need the practice!

Mannnnnnn I wanna read this whole book and maybe see the movie! Love it.

Thank you! It is fun to write about the apocalypse from the perspective of someone who’s actually cool with it. And not in a psychotic way, just a “shrug” sort of way. Adapting and moving on.

The Urban Spaceman says:
Ahhh, you write this WAY too fast! 😛 At this rate, you’ll be on series #3, Starbound*, before I’m even halfway through Sixteen Sunsets!
*continuing with the theme of celestial bodies, of course.

You’re close! It’ll be called “Starfall,” Cindy has already committed to be my co-pilot in 2018. We have a super-rough outline slready.

I’m a little short on the word count, but this was right up my alley. Just started with a question and kept going. Titled “What’s the Fucking Point?” (Edited title for profanity-sensitive family members who see my posts on Facebook.)

Now that was a great deal of fun. I genuinely enjoyed the voices of the, um, characters (don’t want to spoil anything).

What is it about the post that you try to be Resistant, but end up unexpectedly sentimental? Is there some deeper truth there? Also, sorry about the word count, but a story needs to be as long as it needs to be. Here’s my entry: https://kajmeister.wordpress.com/2017/03/29/in-line/

After reading the weekly challenge, the song “Y’all Wanna Single” by Korn popped into my mind. My story was partially inspired by it.

It was the best I could come up with on short notice. Please enjoy!

Well… the words “Goblin Liberation Front” came into my mind and I had to do something about it. Here’s “Children of the Revolution”, with humour, I hope:

It’s maybe a bit tame for the theme, but it’s what came out. It’s got characters from my novel The 25 Years.
