Hello heatmate! I watch horror movies through my fingers (if at all) so this was not my preferred genre can't wait to see what you did with these prompts! Also, how the heck does one write a log line!?
The Passengers We’ve nearly reached the end of our long voyage through the stars, and with the help of the Caretakers we’re still healthy and happy. Something is not right, though, and while I don’t know what it is, the dogs might hold the answer. |

It can help to find existing examples and just steal the format if you're not sure! Orphaned gypsy Heathcliff (protagonist) grows up to love (objective) his adopted sister Cathy (situation), but when Cathy (opponent) marries her wealthy neighbor (disaster), Heathcliff sets in motion a terrible vengeance that will pit him against everyone he knows (conflict).

Group 14: Crime Caper/Gastronomy /A suburbanite I make yours look fantastic. I was running low on time and panicked. I'm paraphrasing, but.... Fishy Fish A group of lifelong friends reunite to make things right after one of their parents get swindled. I actually love the "Fishy Fish" title... I'm in your heat... good luck and look forward to reading yours!

Hi!
I got the same genre and understand your pain of research. 1700s? Wow! That sounds awesome and fun. I chose 1800s and spent 1.5 days researching until I could get enough background information to create a story. It was mind bending. Title: Freedom No More Synopsis: A woman takes a job as a wet nurse and realizes she can't escape her past. I realize this synopsis doesn't give any details about my story, especially when I've read others more elaborate synopsis. But at least it's clear. LOL Good Luck! |

Hello fellow groupmate!
Your synopsis sounds very interesting indeed. Best of luck! I had proper writer's block for 2 full days in this one. Finally came up with an idea that gripped me with 14 hours to go and managed to get something down (though WAY under the word limit...) Not fancying my chances, but definitely enjoyed writing it. Decided to go for rhyming couplets, just to make things harder for myself... 35 - Fairy Tale / An examination / A wunderkind Teething Problems When a wolf with a fondness for doctors emerges, will Jack be another to succumb to his urges? This won’t be a regular medical examination, but will it result in GP mastication? |

The Marked Man Synopsis: Accepting a too-good-to-be-true job offer from a beautiful woman forces a private detective to decide if he has the guts to seize a rare opportunity. 41: sci-fi/quality control/warmonger

Hi!
Group 21 - Historical Fiction/Extortion/ A Wet Nurse I spent 1.5 days researching the history of wet nursing until I could get enough background information to create a story. Title: Freedom No More Synopsis: A woman takes a job as a wet nurse and realizes she can't escape her past. I realize this synopsis is bland and doesn't give away any details of my story, especially when I've read others more elaborate synopsis. But at least it's clear. LOL My main focus was to keep the story in the historical time frame and not break character and to also hit the Extortion topic. One thing I learned time and again, write the first draft almost immediately because writing REALLY takes place in the revisions. I hope I pulled it off to at least rank! I kept in mind that the 24 in my group were all the top 5 of their first groups. So really honored to be competing with the best! I bet our group brought it! |
