DISCUSSION THREAD -- December 2012 75-word Writing Challenge

[Ökuþórr]

I haven't been here in ages, but i thought I'd post something at least. Though im not sure how much sense it makes.

 

[Bowler1]

Not it's gone quite around here I'm going to practice my darts. I think Stromcrow was only pretending to be drunk, I got taken to the cleaners.

Thanks for the reviews, Starbeast and Perp Man!

Thanks for the reviews, Starbeast and Perp Man!

You're welcome Alchemist.

Okuborr - I find your story very charming and familiar to myself. I know what it's like when as a child, you try to convince an adult that you've seen something out-of-the-ordinary, and they don't believe you. Excellent tale.

 

[Warren_Paul]

That's the wrong way round, DEO:

wereworms + ol' fishin' hole = story with hook.
​

That's hilarious.

 

[ratsy]

I think I have to write a short story about a Wereduck. Maybe titled "BeWere of the Beak"

 

[David Evil Overlord]

That's the wrong way round, DEO:

wereworms + ol' fishin' hole = story with hook.
​

I don't know if the world is ready for a story about were worm hookers.

Ökuþórr – There are some things that babysitters have to take for granted that they are going to run into some weirdness from their charges once in a while. I just loved the idea of Santa transforming into a reindeer. The sitters response was just perfect, and could be taken in more than one way – trying to deal with an overactive imagination – or to stop innocent eyes seeing what they shouldn’t.

 

[Abernovo]

StilLearning, that's terrible! In a very good way!

So, even naughty vampires get presents? I like it.

 

[Starbeast]

StilLearning - How delightfully twisted, and simply delicious.

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

Aun Doorback -- lovely prose poem. (I might suggest changing "was" to "is" in the first line to preserve the present tense, but that's a quibble.) I quite like the way you made very subtle use of rhyme; I had to read it more than twice to pick up on that, and how it made the whole thing sound very musical.

 

[Bob Senior]

Howdy,
Merry Christmas to all.
I hope to get back to writing one of these days.
Thanks for the cards and well wishes.
Maybe try something next month if all goes well. ('nother hospital trip in Jan.)

I didn't read much about Dec. challenge, but would "Paw and The Boy, Vampire Hunters, Christmas Special, (second vampire half price, free stakes) fit the theme?
Bob

 

[Warren_Paul]

Merry Christmas, Bob.

That sounds like an awesome little tale to tell. Sure you won't share it with us?


Unless Christmas, or the theme of the month, is scaring everyone away, then it looks like we might be in for a bunch of last minute entries.

 

[TheDustyZebra]

Hey, Bob! Good to see you, especially contemplating a story. I must admit that I set these folks to sending you cards and still haven't managed to send you one myself. But it will get there -- possibly even in time for next Christmas!

Now get that story written before the deadline tomorrow.

 

[Perpetual Man]

Nice to see you in action Bob, even if it is only for a brief visit,we'll look forwards to your full return later.

But one quick story before Christmas?

Go on you know you want to

 

[Abernovo]

Hey, Bob! Good to see you around, if only briefly.

Go on, another Paw and the boy story, please. Pretty please?

Hope you're feeling a little better. Best wishes.

 

[Starbeast]

Bob, nice to hear from you again. I'd love a new Paw and Boy tale, but get well first pal. Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!

 

[Aun Doorback]

Aun Doorback -- lovely prose poem. (I might suggest changing "was" to "is" in the first line to preserve the present tense, but that's a quibble.)

Thank you Silverwolf and quibble accepted as it was scribbled down on the back of a fag packet (Ran out of time etc) - The moral is to ensure you all do your homework long before the deadline to submit. Merry Christmas all!

 

[Abernovo]

Aun - brilliant. I love the imagery you managed to get into so few words. A vampire priest, with a conscience.

Kylara - I'm chuckling. The idea of a dragon getting indigestion from eating a vampire, cured by eating a garlic-coated priest.

Priests being used thus by both of you. Whatever will Parson think?
