Discussion -- 300 Word Challenge #9

"Lovely weather for ducks!"

Aha! Yes. Long time since I heard that expression.

Congratulations Springs! A well deserved winner and I hope you enjoy your book.

Gahhh, Lenny, I loved your explanation The Defiant was my favourite ship in any of the ST franchises; no wonder your story was such a good one!

For my efforts... well, the name of the journal-writer that is found on my trash island was an anagram of a famous old horror writer, and the ship was named after Billie (no, not Piper !) - who first sang the dark, heartbreaking Strange Fruit song which tells of lynched 'black bodies, swinging in the southern breeze'.

One day I'll writer something a little nicer, I'm sure.

Congrats Springs.

I don't think my entry needs any explanation, apologies for the awful humour maybe, but no explanation.

 

[Juliana]

Luiglin, I knew I was voting for yours the minute I read it. My kind of humour.

Personally, I'm really excited to have had so many votes this month, my best challenge so far!

 

[Luiglin]

Luiglin, I knew I was voting for yours the minute I read it. My kind of humour.

Thanks Juliana. As I've stated on a post in the critiques area humour is quite subjective. Unfortunately I sometimes can't help myself but roll out the puns. My failing is often not knowing when to stop.

 

[Jo Zebedee]

Aha! Yes. Long time since I heard that expression.

We still say it lots over here...

Just to say I have been curled up for the last day with Bujold and thoroughly enjoying it, so thanks everyone.

A belated congratulations, Springs.
