The latest 300-worder is up.

As always with the longer form, entries can be posted from the 10th of the month (in this case January), but that does not mean that no-one can talk about the challenge until then.

And as ever, the image is only there to provide inspiration; your story does not have to reference it, even indirectly.
 
I can feel a world beating 300 terminating already. Or more likely it's the New Year celebratory alcohol creating a false sense of optimism. Either way its a great pic.

Happy New Year all x
 
I got the story. I just have to fine tune it a bit.

I started to put a link to Auld Lang Syne but it didn't look right. lol. There's a beautiful version on YouTube.

Happy New Year's!
 
I get the feeling that with this picture, we'll either get plenty of Doctor Who fanfiction-of the good kind-or many Steampunk stories.


Very interesting either way.
 
No need to be even slightly steampunk -- all speculative fiction is welcome in the 300. :)

I know but, to me cogs, pipes, big gauges, copper recipients suggest steampunk.
Truth is that, the wall ensemble in the image is either a steampunk decorative wall, or a museum/art gallery exhibit. I guess you could place the action in our times.

*off sides inaudible dialog*
no, *poutty sigh* I'm. *poutty sigh* I'm Monologueing!
*off sides inaudible dialog*
No. Fine! I'll be up in a minute. Geez!

I gotta go. The dinasuars got out in the back garden again and ate all of creation.
