The One Where CoffeeMinion Sells Out · 1:16pm Apr 27th, 2019
There comes a time in every man’s life when he’s willing to show a little more leg than he’d otherwise prefer, in order to catch people’s attention.
Or at least that’s what I’m telling myself. 
One sellout later...
The sitch
Yesterday my longtime collaborator and co-conspirator Moosetasm dropped a kickass new action story that he and I did a bunch of work on. Mostly him—but I had my fingers in deep at several points as well. It opens with stuff blowing up, stuff keeps blowing up, but there’s strong characterization and deeper reflection as well. While it’s written as a continuation of some past stories, we did a lot to try to make the whole thing stand alone.
And it’s getting basically no views. 
The deal
Pure and simple: go read it, then come back here and pitch me a quickie story request. First four to do so will get one.
Now the last time I did something like this, it took me a while to work through everything. Some ended up as 150-word microfics; one sailed a lot higher. A couple are still outstanding. But my point is that I’m good for it (basically), though it’s hard to predict what exactly the final product will look like until I start writing it.
(I think I had a couple other restrictions last time as well, so check that out—but it wasn’t terrible.)
The clarification
If you’ve already checked it out, THANK YOU—but you’re not eligible to “win.” We need MOAR eyeballs!
If you don’t like the story, that’s fine. I’m not saying you have to. Just give it a fair shake and c’mon back. Though as the illustrious FoME said about it: “...fantastic work. Great tension, excellent stingers, and fantastic characterization all around.”
And yes, I will only do the first four, for my own sanity and capacity’s sake.
Happy reading! 
... Wait, so I missed out because of my Fimfic omnipresence? Huh. Go figure.

Indeed, my immediate thought as I conceived this was, “Wait... what about FoME?”
Naw, I suppose this could be seen as punishing the early adopters a little, but that isn’t the intent. It’s truly more a question of my own ability to keep up with my commitments.
However: I had a lot of fun with the last wave of requests, and I expect these should go all right as well. So presumably there might be another!

I still don't know how you read that story inside of 30 minutes.

He’s a machine. A force of nature. Let us praise the Sisters that he’s on our side.

Well man, I dunno. Looks like there aren’t any other takers, so what the heck—go for it if you’re interested. Last time you pitched me something, I loved it!

Petunia Paleo's special talent works by allowing her to hear the fossils beneath the earth. Why do you think she always goes for the skulls first? And as for what they tell her...

I like this a ton. I can feel a story attached to this but I suspect it’s huge and deep. I might need a while to reflect on it and see what comes out.
This might even be Hell-sequel magnitude.
I've put it in read later as I have some things on my plate at the moment

By all means, come back when you get that far!
