You're welcome Springs.

 

[stormcrow]

Thanks for your comments Starbeast!

I'm really pleased it worked for you!

Thank you Perp, Victoria and Starbeast for your encouraging reviews and kind welcome.

I was eager to join in because I was amazed at the depth and breadth that people around here can encompass in only 75 words. Epic thread, as they say.

 

[Perpetual Man]

Glad to have you with us barlennan, the more the merrier as they say.

Nice to meet you too Barlennan. I agree, there are a great deal of excellent writers here.

Thanks for the kind words SB!

And yes, I always look forward to the next story eagerly, after I post my current tale. That's why I asked if the 300 Challenge could be every other month, but sadly it can only be a quarterly event.[/COLOR[

You are not the only one SB, I am constantly itching to write more of these challenge stories. I think I would rather have one per week!!

A 300 word challenge every month would be fantastic...

 

[nixie]

Thanks SB and if anyone wants to take a stab at who the preacher and queen are just PM me and I'll tell you if your right.

 

[Perpetual Man]

Hmmm, now you have me thinking Nixie.

When I first read it a name sprang to mind but I knew it was the wrong one. Of course now I start to try and think about it the wrong name keeps filling all the empty spaces of my mind...

 

[Starbeast]

Thanks for the kind words SB!

You're welcome Poetic Paranoid Marvin.

You are not the only one SB, I am constantly itching to write more of these challenge stories. I think I would rather have one per week!!

A 300 word challenge every month would be fantastic...

I think if both happened, the excitement would completely overwhelm me, and my parakeet would explode.

Thanks SB

You're welcome Nixie.

TacticalLoco -- a thought-provoking philosophical prose poem

 

[Starbeast]

TacicalLoco - I like how you presented both sides of the coin, showing the fine line between heros and villains. Good Stuff.

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

Nelson Lucier -- an open-ended space adventure. (And first post -- welcome!)

Azzagorn -- a more realistic version of fictional heroics.

 

[Azzagorn]

Thanks Victoria for the comment, its what I was aiming for

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

reiver33 -- an ironic twist to this confrontation

 

[TacticalLoco]

Thank you Ms. Silverwolf and Starbeast for you kind words.

 

[Scott R. Forshaw]

After a hectic February and March, I've finally managed to throw something together. I was really disappointed that I didn't make last month's challenge, but was adamant I wasn't missing another. So, there it is, I'm in. I'm sure it could've been better but, on the upside, at least I posted, so I'm happy.

Now to check out the rest.

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

Scott R. Forshaw -- a sardonic twist on heroic figures

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

Nelson Lucier -- sets the scene for an epic alternate history
