Discussion -- 300 Word Challenge #4

[Jo Zebedee]

just had a look; I remember it now, the one with the grungey prince. I quite liked it, why not stick the rewrite up?

 

[Vertigo]

Thanks for the great and complimentary review Perp. Actually there's one more slightly obscure layer that you might have missed (though it is more of a fun one) I might mention it after voting is done.

I might give it an edit and do that hmm ... wonder if writing it with some distance from the book might help. OK thanks for the shove. Think I have been developing anxiety issues over it which isn't my usual state - anyway better not derail this more.

 

[Jo Zebedee]

Yep, thread stealing...

So, vertigo, I gotta go read that agian, see if I can unlayer it, very intriquing.

HeHe I thought it might be too obvious but it does help explain the last couple of lines! And I stress it is just meant to be in fun!

 

[Perpetual Man]

Perp it is very good to see you back. Feeling better ?

It's good to be back thanks Anya - as you are aware I've been around, just being quiet. I'm a lot better, still carrying a little hangover from the chest infection but I feel fine.

Thanks for the great review Perp -- I barely recognised my story. I'll have to get you to write my synopsis.

Well gosh (Of course the quality of the stories helps)

Hmmm, I'm not sure whether I picked up on something or not.... Of course sometimes I see things that aren't there...

Oh joy, oh rapture...

 

[Vertigo]

Sorryyyyyyy

Yeah, I think I'm following that one pretty well.

Perp Man - thanks for great review.
It's good to hear these ideas played-back and see that they work. There's a couple of little motifs in there I'm really pleased with, & I'm tempted to develop this story further...

That's the brilliant thing about this thread - we write something that's nothing to do with wip, and it stimulates all kinds of ideas. Checkout Reivers expansion of his 75 worder...

And I'm looking forward to the late posters...

 

[mosaix]

Perp, thanks for the complimentary review and it's good to see you on the mend.

 

[Christopher Lee]

Thanks perp for the amazing review! Your piece was great. I'm already torn between two works.

Culhwch, that was amazing!

I still have my first 75 worder buried in my WIP somewhere.

You're all right, you have three votes for this one. Whew's all round; everythings brilliant.

 

[AnyaKimlin]

.

I won't steal it again, but thanks for the needed kick to get it rewritten. That and another completely unrelated thread gave me ideas .

 

[Christopher Lee]

Ah, that's right. I forget we have three for this particular challenge. I have two in mind for sure. They're all really good!

 

[AlcubierreWarp]

Just threw something together while sick with the flu - can't really think straight so be forewarned!

Can't wait to read the rest of them!

 

[Kaladan]

Was worried I wouldn't make it, there.

Read most of the entries and can't say I found one I didn't enjoy

Typing this like I still have a word count to keep an eye on :\

 

[Moonbat]

That's the latest I have posted on any of the comps, unless you count the one where I was too late

I look forward to reading them all, just checked a bunch of titles and it has whetted my appetite.

 

[Phoenixthewriter]

Hmmm, I'm not sure whether I picked up on something or not.... Of course sometimes I see things that aren't there...

Can't fault you for this one. On a short piece of literature it should be expected, though does this come as the fault of the writer, or the reader...? Or is there fault at all.

Working as intended

On a side note... just a few short hours before voting and I'm baffled by some of the work that has risen in these last couple of days. Give me enough writers like this and I could rule the world.
