[allmywires]

Welcome, jimness, and a strong entry to boot.

 

[RcGrant]

Hi Jimness, welcome to the forum! Looking forward to reading more from you.

Alc, I love that. I want the movie and cartoon series, too.

Could prove difficult, given the ending.

I could shed my principles and reboot, I suppose.

Was I right to be singing that to, "Puff the magic dragon?"

I thought I might have been possessed by the lager demons but if so, it was brilliant!!!

Hey guys, sorry to say I think I'll pass on this challenge. I think that the theme and style is just too great for a mere 75 words. I'll still vote, and hope to catch next month's challenge.

 

[Abernovo]

I know what you mean, Lilmiz. I struggled because of the size of the ideas. Still, there's time to change your mind, if you want. Or you get a flash of inspiration.

Alc and Glen - both brilliant. Both hilarious.

You were correct in your assumption, sir. The lager is wise.

And thanks Abernovo.

I'll keep that in mind. I know that I can write about justice, I just don't think I can do it in 75 words.

 

[Luiglin]

I just don't think I can do it in 75 words.

I can understand that hence why my effort this month reads very rushed.

 

[paranoid marvin]

That's why the challenge is so interesting; to create a story in 75 words is a test in itself.

You should always have a go; regardless of how your first attempt goes, you will improve month on month. Although I do say so myself, I think what I'm creating now for the challenge is better than what I did when I started, and I have seen similar improvements in others.

 

[Karn Maeshalanadae]

And for others of us, it's an up and down roller coaster ride. I definitely feel that some months were better than others for me.

 

[Sapheron]

Posted one for the first time in ages. We'll see how it goes.

Read the first couple of pages of stories, and as always I'm finding plenty that I like!

I agree with Karn - Certainly from my perspective I'm up and down like a yoyo!

 

[paranoid marvin]

We all have our ups and downs , but I do think that practice - whilst it may not make perfect - certainly makes for improvement over time.

 

[Aun Doorback]

I have to agree with you as well PM! Practice and plenty of reading, both of which I haven't done enough of recently

You're right it is a challenge. So I challenged myself. Not real happy with it, but you only have yourself to blame.

LilMiz...

That is not the "Golden Rule," but since the "Golden Rule" dispenses grace instead of justice, you are right on track.

 

[David Evil Overlord]

I thought the Golden Rule was "He who has the Gold makes the Rules".

"Do unto other as you would have them do unto you." Is what I was going with. Or a rather literal veiwing of it. It was the one that kinda made sense.
