I was close, if there's no late submissions, it'll be 189 pages. Booyah

Hello there Platypus!

I see there's already a Hindu and Buddhist direction for the next Loose Canon. I have in mind a story submission that parodies UFO cults and other New Age movment stuff, and another story that plays with Neopagan ideas. (Know who I am now?) Plus another that's just about a pure Pasta-based treasure hunt.

Where would I post those? Should I start my own topic thread or something?

Starting your own thread is fine, we can categorize it later, or you can post it in one of the many "Loose Canon Submissions" threads, whichever seems to be the most related to what you're writing. Those sound like cool ideas!

[Roland Deschain]

That sounds mighty fine. I do love parodies of dead religions. I love parodies of living religions, come to that. I shall be contributing once again, but hopefully something more substantial than last time.

Very excited bout the UFO one in particular

I'm like 99.9% sure. Tho I kinda hope I wrong just for the freaking amazing coincidence.

What Qwerty says.


See you tomorrow then? We got a pinata.

I'm like 99.9% sure. Tho I kinda hope I wrong just for the freaking amazing coincidence . . . See you tomorrow then? We got a pinata.

And I got a yellow pool noodle! We can whack at the pinata with it! It'll be a foam manifestation of His Noodly Appendage! And we can bonk ourselves on the head, so as to be touched by His Noodliness.



(But yarr... no coincidence. That would be a freakin' amazing though...)

I probably won't get to any serious writing until Thanksgiving or most likely even Winter Break. That's okay though, right? Platypus told me that there's no established deadline so...

Edit -- By the way, I think this forum's clock is slightly off. It says I posted this at 11:42, but it's 11:36.

Unfortunately, due to our slightly elastic moral standards, the clock has taken it upon itself to show the time it wants it to be. It had obviously missed something on TV and was using positive thinking to stop it missing the beginning of its favourite show. Probably Doctor Who or Flash Forward. Something like that. You know how tetchy clocks can be...

[Alien Soda Jerk]

Ha ha. Our clocks have flimsy timekeeping.

Also, is there a desired page limit? I have a habit of writing a lot without meaning to.

[Qwertyuiopasd]

What kind of religious scribes would we be if we put limits on the length of scripture? The bigger and more long-winded, the better!

[Alien Soda Jerk]

Cool then! Oh, uh... I mean, ARRRGH!!!

[Platypus Enthusiast]

Cool then! Oh, uh... I mean, ARRRGH!!!

lmao

[Roland Deschain]

I have put the Loose Canon (and The Gospel) on my eBook reader and shown it to quite a few people now, spreading His word out there to the initiated and uninitiated alike. Is there a time limit on the second version? I want to know when to start on my contribution.

[Platypus Enthusiast]

Nah Roland, you may start and finish whenever you like. You write good stuff plus new material right now is like 70% me, so I'd like to thin it out lol. So I'll happily wait for you.
