Let the picking on Matthew begin!
While I’m still playing at DIK and preparing to make Matthew’s life as hellish as possible for the next choose your own m/m story challenge, I thought I’d share this piece of awesomeness with you.
2. some background to one of the main protags ~ one is sucked in to doing a favour for a friend
3. another character/s ~ a lavender-haired matron in a twin set and pearls, who is constantly pinching butts
4. a conflict ~ one has a panic attack whenever he sees red M&Ms
5. an object/phrase to be mentioned in the story somewhere ~ a split trouser seam revealling a pink, lace g-string
Curious to see what Mia was able to do with these story prompts??
Well, here it is:
Pinch Me, I’m Yours by Mia Watts
All I’ll say is that you may never look at red M&Ms the same way again. 😉
“Gunner” Dahlquist makes a living piloting his freelanced ship, The Rockside Hopper. A cynical, but optimistic veteran of Beast War III, Gunner brought one good thing away from the wars – his roommate Max.
Max just so happens to be a talking cat.
Together, Gunner and Max pick an odd set of allies in their quest to find the truth to Max‘s creation. First, there’s the veterinary student who’s a martial arts expert and may be falling in love with Gunner. Then the Bioengineered Eastern Orthodox mystic who claims to be Max’s sister. Next is a coarse and sullen failed shape shifter experiment. Last is the infant “cereborg” who’s trillions of times more intelligent than humans…but is she a friend to Gunner and company, or is her very existence a threat to the human race?

No, not about me for a change.
