Oh S#!t, Vampires!

We've come to the end of our exquisite corpse novella and podcast and Clint and Evan take on the final 2 chapters of Oh Shit, Vampires! They discuss the fun difficulty of wrapping up a silly and unpredictable project like this, why playing with the toys your friends brought over is a blast and ending a book halfway to the end of a book.

Sean Bury and Nicholas Daly Clark are comedians and writers and also friends in real life. Little did they know, they were writing almost the end of our exquisite corpse novella. As we race to the finish, Nick and Sean and Evan and Clint talk about how big of a jerk some of these writers have been, the pleasure of writing on the nose satirical acronyms and why writing this wasn't any fun at all for Sean.

Oh Sh!t, Vampires! rolls into its record breaking 6th week* with Suzy Henschel and Clem's getting a wonderfully fleshed out backstory. The vampire hunters have gotten to where they're going and it's a REAL big surprise to our would-be heroine. Plus, let's talk about terrible bathroom poetry, having Elise up your nose and living up to impossibly vague prompts with full bananas. *Longest Streak of Most Episodes of Oh Sh!t, Vampires! ever

Brock Wilbur picks up the strange pieces left by last weeks writer in a completely unintentional effort to get our book back on the rails. What dangers lurk for Clem on her cross country adventure? Do Vampires in our world have the ability to NOT be a vampire through sheer strength of will? Can Brock justify the sudden importance of Combos on road trips? And most importantly... did he have fun?

Oh S#!T, Vampires! has inspired more than a little anxiety in our writers. It's nerve wracking to pick up somebody else's work and move it in a different direction. This weeks writer, Rob Kerkovich, discovered an elegant solution... ignore the rules completely! We discuss just how he pulled it off while also expanding the scope of the book by hundreds of years. Follow @RobKerkovich and tell him how funny he is.

Sean and Sinead Persaud read and discuss their entries in Oh S#!t, Vampires! The 6th and 7th chapters of our exquisite corpse novella introduce a mysterious new character and some focus to Clementine as we dig in turning points, cool-sounding names and the best way to make sure your very real anxiety doesn't come across in your writing. The Persaud's are the excellently funny writing team behind Shipwrecked Comedy (@shipwrckdcomedy).

Michael Truly joins Oh S#!t, Vampires! as our first guest writer and he starts off swinging for the fences. We discuss her car choices, dog breeds and why this whole ridiculous exercise is like being on Quicksand. Be sure to check out Truly's incredibly funny podcast Nightdrive, the Everglade swamp's only late night call-in radio show. Where literally everyone is Floridaman- unless they're a lady. If a town hall, the people of Florida and an FM radio had a threesome- NightDrive is the bed it would take place in. And there would be a dead mayor, Jimmy Buffett and way too many alligators in that bed also..."  https://link.chtbl.com/nightdrive

Welcome to Oh S#!t, Vampires! The Exquisite Corpse Novella and Podcast.  Because writing a book with your friends is more fun than writing a book by yourself, and turning the book into a podcast/audiobook hybrid is more work than just writing the book, Clint Gage and Evan Gaustad present to you, dear friends and acquaintances, an exquisite corpse writing game about vampires and satirical allegories for genuinely awful people being in charge. Oh S#!t, Vampires is the story of a small town journalist who witnesses a shocking murder and decides to do something about it. But what she decides to do about it... is up to the next writer. With only the previous chapter to work with, and an opening line provided by the previous author, everybody gets to take their best swing at where she'll go next.
