Oh! I've never seen "shellac" used in the competition sense! (non-native speaker here) Learned something new today. Thank you!

Supposedly it also means decisive defeat, so I went with that. My interpretation still might be too vague though, but I've decided to risk it.

That is a mighty tricky set of prompts. I'm Aussie and shellacking is a common but colloquial word for me. We'd use it like this: (commonly sports, but any competition as someone else said) "They thought they had our number but we gave them a right shellacking."

Im Canadian and that is a common way to use that word in some areas - its definitely slang and used by older people.

Genre: Sci-Fi Subject: An Infomercial Character: A deadbeat First timer here. At first the prompt filled me with dread. After staring into space for an indeterminate amount of time, things started clicking. Now I'm just trying to convince myself that I didn't read it wrong. Once I've done that I will submit. At which time I will try to convince myself I didn't submit it wrong. |

After 9 years of doing these contests, I've only just stopped second-guessing whether or not I read my prompt correctly in the last year. I also used to absolutely agonize over the deadline-driven contest. The only advice I can give is, just have fun with it. You're doing it right, I promise.

Hey Groupmate! I don't know about you but I am really struggling with this one! I have a few different ideas but no idea where to even start! Wishing you all the luck! |
