HT100 Challenge #91: Hey, babe, what's your sign?
First, thank you chris_baby & ralu_1982 for pitching in for the last challenge. If anyone is still contemplating doing one, go for it; ditto any previous challenge that might strike your fancy.
In the meantime, the new challenge is to read a horoscope, and write about an Ozzie experiencing what's described in the horoscope. For instance, this is the forecast for Aries today --
ARIES: Tuesday, February 07 Job interests should go very well, especially if your work is along creative lines. Guard against overindulgence in food or drink. You need to tell a friend that drinking alcohol and driving may be fatal.
-- and there's at least three lines of possibilities to explore there, one of them outright screams Oz. Interpret as literally or abstractly as you like; go ironic with it; go canon or AU with it. And if your daily paper either doesn't have an astrology column, or there's a lack of anything inspirational there, try these places:
daily horoscopes
yahoo horoscopes
Holiday Mathis horoscopes
Some keywords/phrases to help out (use of them is entirely optional; word for word or purely to get your brain ticking over):
"You know astrology's crap, right?"
He woke up knowing it was going to be one of those days.
Five.
Orange.
Dubious.
Fried.
Sex.
Pick your own sign. Pick any sign that strikes your fancy. If you have good reason to believe a character is a particular sign, pursue that, but don't get knotted about figuring that out.
Have fun; come out and play.
