ONC 2026

Wow five.

I have one idea I can write, and one that I can maybe write :rofl:

I have to finish 4 of them this month to do all 5. I don’t think that will happen.

Even if you don’t get them all done, that’s still good :smiley: !

This is the one I am working on right now (yes, it’s finally happening):

In the middle of an enthralling house party, nerdy senior business graduate Igor meets Aurelio, a sexy, risktaking gangster who changes his life in ways he never imagined.

ONC PROMPT 46: “We love broken, beautiful people. And it doesn’t get more obviously broken and classically beautiful than you.”

It’s just trying to be more disciplined in doing this than I’ve been before.

I’m up to roughly 4254 words, currently.

Amused the hell out of myself, too:

They weren’t but a few steps behind her, crossing the hidden culvert, rounding one of the largest live oaks out in the woods to find a bird-woman flailing around on the ground with a snare around her neck and left wing.

“That’s got to be the biggest rotisserie chicken I’ve ever seen.” Liam’s words were hollow, denying the mud-splattered face of a woman who looked eerily like Jamie.

Fair enough :smiley:

I am 2.3k currently, around that. This is where I am now:

Igor smiled at him as he watched them draw their cards. Nandi let out a smirk at Franco, as he pulled his hand Skippy watched him too.
“Damn, you suck at this.” Nandi said with a laugh.
Franco sighed as he threw his cards down onto the pile. “Shut up. I needa focus and win this. For my koi sons.”
Aurelio rolled his eyes. “They’re just dumb fish. They can’t spend shit.”
Franco glared. “Yo, they need the money for good care. If I die, then it’s split between ‘em all.”

Oh wow a bird woman? :astonished_face:

Sounds delicious and I like your descriptions here.

I have to be quick and memorable at this pace. It’s a Harpy, basically.

I need a story name, any ideas? I don’t wanna call it Igor + Aurelio. This is the blurb:

In the middle of an enthralling house party, nerdy senior business graduate Igor meets Aurelio, a sexy, risktaking gangster who changes his life in ways he never imagined.
