Well, I have been missing from the Throwdown since March and have noticed that April's thread was the last as far as my search results proved. Having spent too long editing my novel to no tangible end, I feel like I need to get back to my short-story-writing ways, ergo, here is July's Throwdown thread.
This month's rules?
- Start a story within one literary genre but end it in another genre.
- Choose one - or more - of the 22 Major Arcana of the Tarot and use it in the story prominently, be it symbolically or literally. Could be the McGuffin, a character, a theme, what ever you like.
Bonus Words:
Sprechgesang
Splenetic
Liminal
Pugnacious
Orgone
Bathetic
Echolalia
Looking forward to reading your submissions!
I'm in.. I didn't start another thread since no one entered last time.

Yeah, I noticed that. Well, hopefully we'll have a better turnout this time around. Otherwise, I'll read yours if your read mine hahaha.

I'm in, but it'll be later in July.
I'm trying to persuade a friend to submit something. I'm not a writer but I enjoy seeing what you all come up with.

I'm still in, god dammit. Blargh.
Not in... but a writer friend of mine linked this blog post about overused words, and I thought the writers would be interested.
Wear sunscreen.
Wait, we're doing a throwdown? And I have 2 days?
This should distract me from buying spending money on something I can't afford. I'm in.

I'm almost done with mine. It took longer than intended, but maybe it won't be utter crap :D.

I'm not going to do it. I have no shame.
Well, better late than never. Took me a good while to get this one done. It was a bit unlike anything I've written before. Be warned, it is a bit graphic and describes things that some may find objectionable. Also, I didn't edit much; it's basically in its raw form.
Here it is: sahaykwisa
I went with the high priestess arcana, though I did include a bit of the lovers, as a side motif.
Do forgive me if it's terrible and even more if it offends anyone.

Damn just spotted this now. I'll be in on another one. I may do something for this if inspiration strikes.

HERE IT IS AUGUST. THERE ARE SOME NEW FACES HERE. I SEE SOME OF YOU HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT WRITE CLUB.
I got nothing. Sad, because the topic was great. Just couldn't get anything going.

I'm tempted to extend this for August, since no one other than myself posted anything story-wise. Lemme know what you guys think, please.

So, I failed at this - but maybe September will be better? If I can think of anything clever, I'll start the thread (but if anyone else has some ideas...have at it).
