John August (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0041864/) will occasionally have a a little challenge on his site (http://johnaugust.com/). Like a lot of short film challenges (for instance, the dearly departed ITOOFC (http://www.indietalk.com/showthread.php?p=44867)) he gives you a couple of requirements to build your scene around then leaves the writing up to you.

I finally got the bug to take part in one challenge.

Here's my entry (http://nicklauslouis.blogspot.com/2009/07/john-augusts-superheroic-scene.html). Let me know what you think.

I didn't win (winner (http://johnaugust.com/archives/2009/superheroic-scene-challenge#comment-172275)), I don't think my scene was even considered in the running since I couldn't get the Scrippets (http://scrippets.org/) code to work on his site (works just fine on mine, not sure what the problem was).

That bad, huh?

WTF? :huh:

What the hell just happened there? :lol:

No, not bad. Just way out there in left field. Funny. Took a bit to get oriented on what I was "seeing". BRICKHOUSE threw me for a moment because I wasn't sure if it was a place or a thing until I got to "his". It rang in my head as "Brickhouse the Staff of Seeing...", and then I had to orient my tired imagination on how a brick shithouse (?) with hands and legs wielding a magical staff would look. Took me out of the action for a moment.

So I'll post it here. And no one will read it.

And you were surprised at your self fulfilling prophecy? :D

EDIT: Okay, I read the requirements for the scene, and it makes sense. Maybe needs more visuals to orient the imagination.
