Okay, fine, let's ring out Botober with a big crossover event. I'm going to blame Ceej for this one. Not that it might not have occurred to me anyway, but... The prompts for the last day of Botober were:
- Things: One Hundred Billion Bats
- Concepts: self-destruct code
- Advanced: Another copy of this same image
- Terrible: A bin full of garden worms pulsing in a black light
( Disentanglement )So yeah, I guess if I'd been trying I could have tied things together earlier. The space worms and the space butterfly and maybe the talking worm trying to help Bennet could all be the same things. Probably Master Selden knows Augustina the Pastamancer and Myrilla and Helene and all the rest. Demonax may have passed through Catriona's space station. Maybe Trina's dog is related to Allonia's chickens. But that way, perhaps, lies madness.
Anyway, I suppose it was kind of fun. Always a nice challenge to try to tie together these disparate elements. Like my old four-word stories, as I mentioned, or even the crossover fanfic I would do from time to time. I suppose now I should return to my revisions of
Bleen & Grue sometime this year...we'll see if I've managed to condition myself to do daily writing, or if I've just exhausted my creative stores for the year. If you're reading this, then feel free to leave a comment to let me know what you thought, here or on Twitter or wherever. Because sometimes I'm okay just shouting into the void, but sometimes it's nice if the void shouts back.
