A WINNER! And a Bout of Flash Fiction...

One HUGE

 

to everyone who submitted ideas for the Music Video contest. There were so many awesome ideas that we had a difficult time choosing. It came down to a team vote, and our winner is... (*drum roll*)

Kay Em Evans! 

For the picture frame idea. 

And now for the second Crusader Writing Challenge: parameters, 100 words (not including title). 

That Kind of Day 

The goldfish bowl teetered and crashed to the linoleum. Water coursed around my sneakers, orange bodies flopping helplessly through deadly shards.

A gun cocked.

“You can’t kill me.” I stepped around floundering bodies toward the wide-eyed man, hoping he wouldn’t try.

He looked down the barrel of his revolver. “Oh yeah?”

The gun fired.

A bullet smacked me between the eyes. Ouch.

“You can however seriously piss me off.” I speared him through with my scythe and lifted his squirming soul away. “Now I’m going to have to dig that thing out...! Say hello to your fishes, in Hell.”

CONTEST: Ideas for a Music Video

As I may or may not have mentioned, I'm a multitasker, and this week that includes storyboarding a music video. 

I have a few ideas, but the problem is I'm too close to this project. All I can see is the scene that goes with the song. I need some FRESH ideas. SO, genius that I am, I decided to seek outside perspective from the greatest writerly brains I know. (That means you.)

This is the song:

(requires quicktime plug in)

Background: Justine, a rather forward girl for 1802, has finally met the man of her dreams. He just so happens to be a vampire, and her uncle just so happens to be a vampire hunter. 

That's all I'm going to give you. How do you imagine this music video? (Setting? Action? Etc?)

Now, this isn't some random contest where you sign your name in the comments and magically get picked. The best idea wins. Period. So, throw them at me. Leave a comment or send an e-mail to crystal@immortalthemusical(dot)com. Oh, and be sure to "like" the show on facebook: http://facebook.com/immortalthemusical

And now for the prize... A genuine pot of gold! 

Okay, not really, but almost as cool.

1. (If your concept ends up being used,) Your name in the credits on the music video.

2. A free download of the current soundtrack for Immortal the Musical. (It's not even available for purchase right now, so, you know, really special.)

3. One free book of your choice from Amazon. (Up to a 20$ value.)

Contest ends Tuesday the 22nd.

Happy writing, and keep in mind two words: "budgetary restraints".
