Well done Lulu for submitting the latest entry in the Challenger journal – and thanks to the other microstory writers, who make our judges’ task difficult every week.
Lulu continues Sally’s story after her narrow escape from Ramón. She’s back with the rest of the team and concerned about them. Ottero and Monroe seem to have been poisoned (by the water?) and Sally’s desperate to get medical attention for them. But, the radio isn’t working. If she can’t work out how to communicate with the outside world she’s planning to ask Grazp for help(!!).
What happens next? Well, for the first time ever, we’re not asking you to tell us. Next week we have a special guest writer. More info later, but I can tell you that he’s an Edinburgh-based writer who has previously written about Sally’s great great grandfather Professor Challenger’s adventures…
The guest microstory will be posted this time next week (5th June) and then it’ll be back to you!
The Lost Book is an animated web series where you wrote the plot.
Could I share my thought how I would write the next scrips, or are you looking for Ideas?
Hi Troy – we’re always looking for ideas! You can get involved with writing the animation in two ways:
1. Put forward your suggestions when the plot’s being discussed. For example, today we’re looking for any thoughts on our draft outline of episode 5.
2. Vote on other people’s suggestions. Take a look at the poll in the sidebar on the right and vote for your preferred option.
Or, if you’re interested in writing a microstory then you’ll need to wait until after 5th June (next Friday) when our guest writer’s story will be posted. We’ll then be looking for the next 100 words of the story of Sally Challenger’s expedition.
Arthur Conan Doyle drunk the water and is still alive – now that will be an amazing publicity event!!
