Discussion -- 300 Word Challenge #5

[David Evil Overlord]

Thanks for the shortlisting, R J Dando

 

[Scott R. Forshaw]

After much deliberation I've managed to come up with a short list. It was a difficult task and many a double brandy were consumed in achieving said feat, (purely medicinal of course), but never-the-less, here it is:

crystal haven – I wouldn't like to get on the wrong side of Lizzie's uncle!

Springs – Simply beautiful as always.

Mouse – This made me laugh so hard I nearly … Well, I'd rather not say, but you get the gist of it...

r j dando – I sincerely hope the next one didn't fail.

Johnnyjet – This goes to show that there's nothing more cruel than android overlords!

Vertigo – Inspired byThe Avengers, perhaps? A great story however it was formulated!

Abernovo – A great rags to … um … robes story.

Phyrebrat – I used to like libraries...

The Spurring Platty – A far greater Medusa tale than my own. Very well done.

Chrispenycate – Switzerland … Cern … high grade physics. Your cover has been blown, Chrispy!

HareBrain – Hilarious!

Culhwch – Chilling! Sorry, I couldn't resist.


My votes go to:

Springs

Mouse

Chrispenycate


It was an extremely difficult decision to make, and all the stories were excellent, but these three stood out for me. Well done, everyone.

 

[Ursa major]

Thanks for the Honourable Mention, alchemist.

 

[Culhwch]

Thanks for the mentions, alchemist and Scott!

 

[crystal haven]

Thank you for the mention alchemist, and for the shortlisting, Scott.

 

[Abernovo]

Abernovo – A great rags to … um … robes story.

Thank you for the mention, Scott. I'm glad it worked for you. What a wonderful summary.

 

[stormcrow]

I’ve enjoyed reading all the entries this month & found voting that little bit harder!
My votes went to:

Crystal Haven – Seen and Not Heard
Southron Sword – The Script
Alchemist – Scriptorium

And I have to mention:

Mouse – The Only Explanation
DEO – Checkout Chicks…
Glen – The End of Art
Starbeast – Alien Games
HareBrain – The Triumph of the West
TDZ – The Play’s the Thing
Tactical Loco – Robot Epiphany
Abernovo – Aspirations
Aaron Stone - Unbeatable

…all highly entertaining!

I may shortly be taking mine ‘round the back and putting it out of it’s misery!

 

[Jo Zebedee]

TY for the vote, Scott.

 

[Bowler1]

The poll was a lot more interesting this morning I will have to keep an eye on the votes more I think.

I might even dip my toe in the water next month...

 

[Aaron Stone]

Thanks for the mention, stormcrow!

 

[Abernovo]

Thanks for the mention, stormcrow.

 

[crystal haven]

Thank you very much for the vote, Stormcrow. I'm dancing now!
Not a sensible thing to do with a cup of coffee.

 

[David Evil Overlord]

Thanks for the mention, stormcrow.

 

[TacticalLoco]

Stormcrow...
Thanks for the mention.

 

[Mouse]

Mouse – This made me laugh so hard I nearly … Well, I'd rather not say, but you get the gist of it...

That's all I need. So long as I can make someone laugh, I'm happy. Though the vote is also massively appreciated! Thanks!

Thanks stormcrow for the mention, too!

I've still not read all the stories yet. I will.

 

[alchemist]

Thank you very much for the vote, Stormcrow. I'm dancing now!

Same here, stormcrow!

(minus the coffee)

And the one horse race is now becoming a three horse race, yeehaw!

 

[Ursa major]

(minus the coffee)

I think that's because, as your avatar shows, you'd already spilt your coffee.

 

[alchemist]

And my avatar was very cross about it.

 

[Mouse]

K, so it's taking me a while to read all these. Just got up to AMW's and had to stop to comment on how spookily similar to mine it is! Love that.

Now, back to reading.

You know, I completely missed that when I read yours!

we seem to be sharing a brain a lot recently...
