#creativity night

Douglas:              Fantastic and lethal.

Caroline:              Yeah, those sticks definitely count as sharp objects.

Theresa:              Just ordinary knitting needles.

Martin:                 Yes, but you ´re the least ordinary person I know.

Douglas:              You´ve beaten a pretty stiff competition there, Theresa.

Theresa:              I appreciate the compliment, Martin. In return, please accept these –

Arthur:                  – sleeping bags for otters? That´s brilliant, Theresa.

Theresa:             –  socks. To warm your icy feet.

Arthur:                 But otters can do that too.

Douglas:              Sure, if you skin them first.

Arthur:                 No, Douglas. Otters used to dry and warm the feet of St. Cuthbert. You see, he liked to pray standing neck-deep in the sea. And so his feet got really cold. It´s all in St. Bede´s.

Douglas:              Carolyn?

Carolyn:               Yes, Douglas?

Douglas:              I know that imitation is the deepest form of flattery, but what´s going on?

Carolyn:               Are you asking me whether you´ve taught Arthur how to come up with bizarre otter stories?

Douglas:              Yes.

Hello, Fandot!

Next Creativity Night will take place in the fandot chat on Saturday 24th of November! 

From 7 pm UK time (and for as long as people want to play), we will gather together in the chat room, give quick prompts to work on, then share with each other and give feedback.

We’re keeping the time for each prompt short so we can create a lot of different things in one night.  This is just meant to be fun and can work as a writing/drawing exercise, so the plan is to not spend too much time on each piece.

You don’t have to create for every prompt, and people come and go at different times all night.

If a prompt triggers a more complex idea, feel free to work on it and post it later. If another prompt doesn’t speak to you, just skip it and wait for the next one, and if you just want to hang out in chat and give the creators some positive feedback, you are more than welcome to do so. Any questions? Drop me an ask or contact me in the chat and I’ll be happy to answer your questions. We also have a Creativity Night for Dummies post.

Mr Birling’s words had made more of an impact than Arthur cared to admit in front of his friends. What if he was right? What if he never would find love?

 As he cowered under his umbrella he lowered his eyes and watched the lights of passing cars shimmering on the wet pavement. Saturday night waiting for a bus because he’d lost the car to Douglas in a game of Snap. He’d never felt so unhappy.

 A pretty young girl came and sat beside him.

 “So much for Spring!” she laughed.

 “I know. Terrible weather for this time of year isn’t it.” Arthur replied, not meeting her gaze.

 She began humming, gradually getting louder, “In Spring again, I’ll bring again….”

 Arthur joined in with gusto, unable to resist a singalong “Tulips from Amsterdam!”

 “Oh,” the girl replied, baffled. “I always thought the words were Two Lips From Hamster Dam….”

Martin:                 Douglas?

Douglas:              (singing Sinatra´s My Way) And now, the end is near/And so I face the final curtain/My friend, I'll say it clear/ I'll state my case, of which I'm certain…

Martin:                 (interrupting) Of course you are.

Douglas:              It was your prompt. “Curtain.”

Martin:                 I kind of hoped you´d approach it more professionally.

Douglas:              I beg your pardon?

Martin:                 For example, we could discuss the merits of flame-resistant polyester drape fabrics.

Carolyn:               Don´t set the plane on fire and we´ll be fine with the curtains we have.

Martin:                 Why would I set the plane on fire?

Carolyn:               Well, I didn´t think you would, but after last week´s trip to Newcastle…

Douglas:              Ah yes, the famous case of the self-igniting and self-extinguishing fire. You didn´t seemed to mind, though.

Carolyn:               Of course I did. You wasted my money, you wasted my time-

Douglas:              Speaking of wasted time, I thought you´d wipe the floor with Herc in five seconds. What´s up with the pampering?

Carolyn:               I have no idea what you´re going on about.  

Douglas:              Fair enough. But, as they would say in Limerick-

Carolyn:               Oh, not another bloody Li-

Douglas:              That man only pretends he´s a high flyer-

Martin:                 -your patience should have quickly expired.

Douglas:              And that drawn-out fight-

Martin:                 -was, by your standards, positively polite.

Attention, Fandot!
