Before you do that, get a sun lamp!! :-)


message 12: by Natalie (new)

Natalie (nataliejean) lol I think I'll have to soon, in one month we have had 2 1/2 days of sun, OMG im growing mold lol.


message 13: by Amy Eye (new)

Amy Eye | 1841 comments Mod
Natalie, That almost sounds like a topic for a bizarro novel...LOL A new race of beings was spawned from Seattle, not enough sunlight, but the warm temps and the humidity caused people with weakened immune systems to grow mold....I may be on to something!! :-)


message 14: by Cambria (new)

Cambria (cambria409) | 3305 comments Write it up Girl! And be sure to thank Natalie in the acknowledgements for being the first person to begin growing mold!

Maybe I'll let James or one of the other NBAS guys take that one, I'm not sure how well I could write bizarro, I think you have to have a special touch for it!! :-)


message 16: by Cambria (new)

didn't Stephen King already do that? I remember something in Freakshow that was pretty close to that. it's still a great idea!


message 18: by Cambria (new)

Cambria (cambria409) | 3305 comments did he really do that??? Wouldn't you love to be inside his mind for just a few minutes? I always wondered what it was like in there.....


message 19: by Amy Eye (new)

Amy Eye | 1841 comments Mod
I think the inside of Stephen King's head would be a place that no one but Mr. King wants to be inside. I think there are way too many monsters still waiting to get out.

And Darn It, James!! I thought I was on to something...if it's not too close, I think you should write it, James!!! :-)


message 20: by Cambria (new)

Cambria (cambria409) | 3305 comments hahaha. I bet it is crowded up there.

Yes, James, write us a novel about people who grow mold....

message 24: by Cambria (new)

Cambria (cambria409) | 3305 comments I love it!!! He licked his fingers and started growing mold!!! that is fabulous. I haven't thought about twilight zone in forever....that's the classics right there....

You're referring to Creepshow, the second story, based on a Stephen King tale.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creepsho...

It is a creepy concept. Too bad Stephen King did it already. But that doesn't mean one of us can't take the idea and run in a different direction with it!

I totally forgot about that, James!! and if anyone takes off with this idea, I will try to make sure you get named in it Natalie!! :-)

And I am keeping track of everyone putting their name in!! Since we have now reached 300, we have 7 days left for people to get their names in on this. I will be drawing the winner on May 31!!

If there are any other authors out there willing to give away a physical copy of their book for when we reach 400, send me a message and let me know!

Hmmmm. now there's a plot twist, good smelling mold....and if the mold is purple it could smell like fruit or flowers.....although I don't think that is very creepy....hahaha.


message 45: by Natalie (new)

Natalie (nataliejean) lol, oh yes, the creepy part is that the purple good smelling mold like fruit or flowers is just a way to draw people in and the WHAM my good smelling mold gives off a toxic smell rendering them unconscience to take them back to my undergound lair.... mwuahhhhhhh lol.

I have an idea for how that story could go. The tough part is making it different from Stephen King's story. Maybe I'll write it sometime. In the meantime, enjoy this fungus-related video:
