[QUOTE="barsoomcore, post: 1486456, member: 812"] My best stories came out of snarky responses to pictures. Guy with a head covered in bees? Okay, so I start riffing in my head about whadda maroon. Silly poseur samurai + executioner? Suddenly there was this conversation in my head between poseur samurai and cranky executioner, all snarky and sarcastic and it made me laugh. The final piece in the puzzle for that story was my determination to work EVERY picture into the FIRST sentence, and then say, "That's not what happened," and find a different way to work every picture into the story AGAIN. Because I'm contentious that way. Dialogue is usually what gets me. If two pictures show characters I immediately stick them together to see what they say to each other. If that conversation takes off then my story is on its way. [/QUOTE]
