This isn't fair, Cul. You made it so Parson will have an unfair advantage.

I don't know, I'll bet he's never given a 75-word sermon!

(Should try it -- you'd get lots of applause from hungry parishioners!)

I think it's an excellent theme, and one that can be interpreted in many ways. In fact, I can hear the wheels going round in the heads of our resident punsters already.

Mine are a bit rusty again, but I might come up with something soon.


I think I just need some decent sleep. Hah.

Hurrah a new contest! I look forward to trying to get creative, and then to reading lots of cool new minifictions. Let November commence!

This month's subject looks like just the ticket....

Hmm, I've spoken of redemption a time or two.

Applause is always nice! My last applause for a sermon came when preaching at the chapel service for alma mater a few weeks ago. It did this old Parson's heart good when 900 students gave me a serious round applause after a 10 min sermon. I was on cloud nine for a couple of days after that.

and I just used my fantasy redemption story over in the 300 thread... nice pun as always ursa and you've possibly saved me from an embarrassingly bad arcade scene .

Re: November Discussion Thread - SEVENTY-FIVE WORD WRITING CHALLENGE

What a great theme. (Possibly one of my favourites yet!)

Ironically my first few glimmerings of ideas are SF so they're immediately discarded!

Usually by now we have three or four entries.

Great theme by the way.

Re: November Discussion Thread - SEVENTY-FIVE WORD WRITING CHALLENGE

I keep telling myself I'll wait or week or two, but I couldn't pass up the chance to be first.

Re: November Discussion Thread - SEVENTY-FIVE WORD WRITING CHALLENGE

I knew one would be along soon.

Perp Man, somewhere I had a joke about you being "out of print", but I can't find it, probably all for the better. If I had posted it, I would have been looking for a way to redeem myself.

Re: November Discussion Thread - SEVENTY-FIVE WORD WRITING CHALLENGE

My entry is up, not as good as I hoped...

 

[Culhwch]

Re: November Discussion Thread - SEVENTY-FIVE WORD WRITING CHALLENGE

I liked it, Mith, a very good entry! I'm glad you and Platty got the ball rolling - I was afraid I'd stumped everyone. Myself included - I have no idea what to write!

Re: November Discussion Thread - SEVENTY-FIVE WORD WRITING CHALLENGE

I know what I want to write, just not how to write it.

 

[Bob Senior]

Re: November Discussion Thread - SEVENTY-FIVE WORD WRITING CHALLENGE

WOW, just read the first few entries, feel inclined to throw in the towel already. This is going to be SOME month.

Re: November Discussion Thread - SEVENTY-FIVE WORD WRITING CHALLENGE

And then there was mine. It was a hell of a story I was coming up with, damn it all to Hell anyway. (Please, Parson, pardon my expression. )


It had to be SEVERELY weakened to fit. I had finished it unedited to over four hundred words, something I would have loved to have kept. But alas, it was not meant to be and a lot of what made any sense had to be removed.

I had finished it unedited to over four hundred words

So just a tad over the limit, then...

Maybe no one would have noticed?
