Nice story Karn, I chuckled at the last line. Actually, kinda still chuckling over it. Not sure if that was your intent though. Like the new avatar pic too. Not story related obviously, but I'm curious where you got it.

My story should be coming in soon. I only read a couple of the entries so far, so as not to spoil what I've already written. I think I'm almost done with it.

I don't think I can reveal any insight until the end of the month. ;)


As for the avatar, it's Alice from Madness Returns, the sequel to the game American McGee's Alice. She's in what's called Hysteria mode.
 
Well , I've posted. Tbh the topic this month of 'colours' made me think straight away of flags rather than red,green,blue etc.

That's part of the beauty of the challenge - it sends everyone a different way, you thought flags, and I saw only black.

Great entry BTW.
 
Just looking in a very unscientific manner; 40 entries this month against 54 last month on the same date. I think it might be that capturing science fantasy as a genre in 75 words is pretty challenging? Or is it the colours? Or the tension of the 300 joint lead that's distracting us?
 
All you need to do is win, DEO, and it can be back in June if you want.

Likewise. I want to try and do something "unique" or that takes a really different approach to what we think of as colour... but so far? zip!

I also think colour is almost too broad and nebulous. Sometimes the challenge can feel too narrow. This time it feels too open
 
Aww, thanks, guys! I'm just glad I could get something in before the last minute, this time!
 
Been A bit quiet this month, but been sitting at work (whjere it's really quiet at the moment) twiddling my thumbs and figured it was about time to get my entry up for the month.

I've got this itch at the back at my mind and in my fingers, so I may well return with the comments next month following my two month hiatus
 
Dusty, your story was just too clever, I see tons of votes, I also see dead people, so don't go too much by what I say.

My brane has been on a rest break lately but I did post a story in spite of it, or to spite it?

My original title was Ringo VS The Colourada Kid, but I thought Jr. might take it personal so I changed it.

Weather is real nice for this time of year.

I've done something. Hardly original, though. Someone must have done it before, I'm sure. (and I'm not sure if it is Science Fantasy, either).:confused:
