Discussion - 300 Word Challenge #12

[Abernovo]

Thanks for the shortlisting, Remedy.

 

[Rafellin]

The vote is deserved, Remedy.

And thank you for the mention. Always good when the words work.

 

[Perpetual Man]

It feels that I am being kept away from Chrons at the moment and I have so little time to do anything here.

But I am plodding on.

A quick thanks to Remedy for the lovely words, and to k'ree for the stealth vote.

As always every entry was a mini masterpiece, and narrowing them down was a hard, hard job.

The short list was:

Bowler
ratsy
Victoria
SB
fitzchivalry
Mr Orange
Phyre
Teresa
Brev
TDZ
TSP
Ursa
Aber

I managed to narrow it down to four, and really could not separate them, so Teresa, TDZ , ratsy and fitz all take a bow, you made it very hard. In the end I took a deep breath, went for three and voted - it hurt because I wanted to vote for them all.

Great apologies to TDZ who missed out. You deserve a t-shirt or something

I've been saying that....

Thanks for the oh-so-near miss, and thanks also to Bowler for the vote and Remedy for the shortlisting!

 

[Abernovo]

Thanks for the shortlisting, Perp.

I'll have your t-shirt.

 

[Ursa major]

At the risk of contrevening (or whatever) Abernovo's copyright....

Thanks for the shortlisting, Perp.

 

[Remedy]

Did Shia LaBeouf just say something?

 

[Ursa major]

It couldn't have been his body double.



(Because they're not called that for nothing....)

 

[TheDustyZebra]

I'll have your t-shirt.

When you pry it from my cold, dead body.

 

[Jo Zebedee]

Oh, wow, a stealth vote - thank you, Joan!

 

[Teresa Edgerton]

When you pry it from my cold, dead body.

Hmmm. Is there something we should know about the two of you?

Thank you Remedy for the short-listing. And thank you Perp, for the vote!

It looks like it should be an exciting race, with so many stories within two votes of a win and still many votes to be cast.

 

[TheDustyZebra]

Oh, dear, I hope not. It doesn't sound very romantic, put like that.

 

[ratsy]

Thank you very much Perp! I am very happy you liked my story and ranked it with those other gems

 

[Bowler1]

Oh, wow, a stealth vote - thank you, Joan!

Indeed, another thank you from me too.
I just told my Mrs. I've got another vote and her answer grounded me in reality again. "You don't usually get votes". Well, this month I have. I'm humbled and happy, which is a vvveerrryyyy nice mix.

 

[David Evil Overlord]

Oh, dear, I hope not. It doesn't sound very romantic, put like that.

Sounds like another rom-zom-com.*




Romantic comedy, with zombies...

 

[Ursa major]

I can hear the sweet-talking zombie now:

"I'm not like the other guys," he said as he stroked her hair. "I love you because of your brains."

[Mr Orange]

finally managed to find some time to go through the 300 challenge again.

votes:

springs

[HareBrain]

With the top three scores now 6,6,6, it's a devil of a job to predict the winner.

I'm currently having it tattooed on my forehead in honour of the occasion!
Boy, it's close this month - going to be a nailbiting week for lots of us!

And thank you, Mr Orange, for the vote. Lovely to wake up to after a sleep-deprived night hosting a sleepover for very talkative nine year old girls...
