Celebrating Deviousness December 2012
Those deviants truly embodying the spirit of the project by continuing to create and submit next chapters – no matter the story’s refusal to go along with their proposed direction. The zeitgeist is a powerful force, but the artist must know when to sail against the been-there-done-that. And our writers, artists and poets have been doing that week after week. So many artists and writers continue to send in wonderful material week after week.
We have decided to extend the writing deadline for the last chapter to December 31 and we're expanding the Word count to 800 words for our final chapter! Artists will then have two full weeks to illustrate our final chapter - meaning artwork for Chapter 8 will be due by January 14, 2013. Any Animations/films and poetry deadlines are now extended until Jan 14! We will then unleash, I mean publish, this tale of Paul’s very unexpected journey!

Elite Core Odyssey Participants - Profile 1
*BillBlogins, whose name assures a necessary jolt of action to the storyline, always well-executed. He was also a regular contributor to Odyssey I.
~Sayuri14, packed with dramatic action every time. No longer startled to read such compelling hard action being produced by young female writers. This writer packs a real punch.
*littlecrow and her evocative artworks. Her nightmare illustrations of the “transition” scenes in Odyssey II are quite effectively horrifying.
*SeldinTaase’s psychological observations. His observations on intergalactic psyches lent a whole new dimension to the story as political drama. His noirish text was pleasingly atmospheric, a difficult feat to achieve with such limited space.
~EmpyP, of the consistently smoothly-written prose, well-imagined. Her description of these weird sisters internecine struggle is knowingly executed.
~markmywords85, with such clever turns of phrase. No wonder one of his chapters was chosen. His rollicking prose feels like a dragster race down a mountainside. Yet it somehow arrives at precisely the moment to delver the most narrative impact.
~Kill-Natalie, whose vibrant kinetic wordsmithery is always a pleasure to read. A young artist with a sense of grotesquerie that’s quite remarkable.
*EsselPratt, whose descriptions of the intersection of knife’s blade and human flesh are so effectively frightful. But he is also quite good at bringing in a real sense of humanity and human needs, even in an extreme horror story. There is no sense of the perfunctory in his heart-hewn writing.
The atmosphere of friendly competition, mutual aid when needed and fulsome community that has endured throughout all the glitches and hiccups of Odyssey and Odyssey II is something I will always be grateful to have beheld and well worth all the 4 a.m. technical meltdowns. Hopefully this is only the beginning of many such innovative projects. The real prize in this “contest” is witnessing how deviants and other creative entities from around the world can come together in a mere flash of time to help each other build something unique in storytelling that points to the very future of the written narrative.
