Hi. I haven't posted much here recently (recently = for about two yeasr) but I'm posting a wide variety of stories I've worked on while elsewhere.
I've posted:
A Totally Original Superhero Story - broken down in to parts, it's about a boy who transforms in to a superhero when he says a special word. As the title says, it is totally original
Lost In A European Airport: a high school senior on a class trip to Europe overhears a dastardly plan, one involving some tourists and martinets.
Solving The Problem : the problem? A high school senior has stumbled over an embellishment scheme. Someone at her school is diverting funds. Her knowledge makes her a problem that needs solving.
Out For A Lark - a couple (boyfriend and girlfriend) are enrolled in a theatre arts program. The latest assignment? Come up with a character that you can improv for hours. The boyfriend dresses older, the girl dresses younger, and they go out for a lark dressed as Uncle escorting his schoolgirl niece.
Memories of Lockley Hall: Set in England in 1930, this is mostly a public school story with canings. It was inspired by a story I read decades in a Chums collection (period boy's magazine) where part of the basic plot played out, but with far fewer details for the canings. Mostly teachers caning boys in their later teens.
Alternative Measures - An American girl is arrested in an African nation on a minor drug charge. Her parents are major donors to their state's governor, who invites someone from that embassy to fly down and talk about things. On hearing that the country has "Alternative Measures" that can be employed where there are minor drug charges, the governor wastes no time in insisting that the girl be diverted to that program. The governor doesn't even ask what those measures are. Things go downhill for that girl, but the deals that are made are kept.
Yes, I do have a few others waiting to be sent in, but I don't want to overwhelm the system.
Glad to be back,
Goodgulf
