Writing Challenge Discussion — MARCH 2011

[Ursa major]

You mean if we want to get... er... glowing reports about our writing?

* Ursa believes he's successfully ducked the question. *

 

[cornelius]

Mouse as in... me? Really? Me? Thanks!

Yes, some of your comments and witty replies crossed my mind when writing the piece. Thank you for the inspiration.

Maybe I should point out that English isn't my native language so excuse me if my little rhymes and puns turn out to be crhymes and Pun-ishments.

 

[Mouse]

Witty. Don't be daft, you'll make me blush!

I thought yours was very clever.

Witty Mouse and the Daft Axedemon

I did spend around 45 minutes on writing it, which is a first timer. I mean, the "story" took about 5 minutes, but the tinkering need a bit more thinkering.

 

[SleepyDormouse]

SleepyDormouse – Excellent. Made me chuckle out loud, excellent rhyming and very well constructed. The only thing that made me pause was, that as resident Master of the Chronicles Biscuit Barrel does that make me the ogre?

Thanks! I found searching online very helpful for finding rhyming words.. does that make me a cheat? Not quite sure why it came out as a poem though, just evolved that way.

in this house I am definately the ogre.. (actually i think we all have it in us to be an ogre when that last biscuit is under threat).

and if you are Master of the Chronicles Biscuit Barrel.. please do you have any chocolate hobnobs?

Perhaps next month we can have a theme based on flowers, ponies and candy floss!!!

I'm not sure...We're pretty sure Snow White boils bunnies alive. I have a hunch she turns ponies into glue, flowers into "pharmaceutical" products via slave labor. Just ask Mouse. Snow White could do some nasty stuff with candy floss!

 

[HareBrain]

Eek! I've drafted my story, but I'm twenty words under. I might have to include a subplot.

 

[GreenKidx]

*That last post was my 100th...Yea, me!*

 

[Ursa major]

Eek! I've drafted my story, but I'm twenty words under. I might have to include a subplot.

Or you could add 20 adjectives and adverbs....

 

[Mouse]

She could, aye. I've seen her do it. *shudder*

 

[Ursa major]

No doubt involving a sticky end.

 

[nixie]

Adhering to the spirit of the thread bear....


Groans... sorry I couldn't resist I'll stop now

 

[Mouse]

*groan*

I'm liking No One's entry. As well as a few others... Not getting Parson's reference though.

Not that I'm a moderator, but I wouldn't think looking words up on the internet is cheating, that's research.

The biscuit Barrel is a long dormant thread, but it is still there languishing.

http://www.sffchronicles.co.uk/forum/45412-the-tea-room-biscuit-barrel.html

It's pretty much empty now (The rule being no photo, no biscuit), and it looks like there were never any chocolate hobnobs... gulp

 

[nixie]

Parson's reference is niggling me.I feel I should know it but I can't quite find it.

 

[Mouse]

Same, nixie.

*shakes fist at PM* now I want a biscuit.

 

[TheDustyZebra]

And one story that doesn't need the theme mentioning when you consider that fact i have two small children, that was very dark and powerful. I loved the twist for his punishment but felt the pain instantly at the thought of it.

*nod* So do I!

 

[Ursa major]

No doubt involving a sticky end.

I was, of course, referring to the likelihood that the story containing the Snow White Candyfloss Incident would be included in the Challenge Roll of Honour thread, which is stickied.

 

[Brev]

oh, it's soo quiet...

Must be Parsons fault, we're all busy Googling to find his mystery lady....

 

[Parson]

I doubt I have that much power.
