Sorry, Kylara, but your lecturers insisted. They persuaded me by insisting the suffering would be good for your soul

So it's Kylara's fault, then. Noted.

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

ratsy -- By using familiar figures from folklore, the author slyly points out that one should be careful of who one trusts.

 

[Juliana]

Thank you Victoria and Hex.

Kylara, dragons and museums sounds great, and how can anyone not like dragons!!

 

[Droflet]

Thanks for the very kind review, Victoria. Yet my head is still hung in shame. (cough).

 

[Remedy]

Don't worry telford, I loved yours. ("I have to push the pram-a-lot."

I was in doubt of both genre and theme, so I went to my default setting of humour

 

[TitaniumTi]

With thanks to Victoria for her reviews:

Ladies' Night - One of Chrons' finest muses shows us how amusing modern muses can be.

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

Remedy -- This bawdy ballad, meant no doubt to be sung in a rowdy pub around a roaring fire, reminds me of something from The Wicker Man.

 

[ratsy]

Thanks for the comments Victoria

 

[Brev]

I thought I'd go with light hearted and upbeat this month...

 

[TheDustyZebra]

Fiendish, Brev!

Daring and noticeably clever entry.

 

[Hex]

Oh... that's nice, martin. What a story to read first thing in the morning!

Remedy -- yours made me laugh. Very funny

 

[Glen]

Theme: DANCE
Genre: Mythic Fiction

I'm getting no ideas for this. Not even from Captain Fantastic!

I'm sure some idea will arrive...soon...?

 

[Brev]

Thanks Dusty.

It appears as though we've hit our mid-month lull. I'm not sure what that says about my posting. Am I too slow for the quick posters, or am I too anxious for those who post in the last 36 hours?

In a Goldilocks and the Three Bears situation Parson, it probably makes you "Juuust right!"

Spandex. That is all.

I guess I'm in the "Goldilocks zone" then. Just the place for life.

 

[TheDustyZebra]

Ha! Good one, Bob!

 

[Glen]

I had nothing this month, so had to fall back on a true story.

I guess that few SFFC readers will have an in depth knowledge of the "tropes, themes and symbolism" of Australian myth, but 75 words doesn't leave much room for a lot of exposition. So, I'm not expecting a favourable response this month

At least we won the cricket

Haha. :0)

The Captain (apart from his most recent episode) is usually there for comedy. But spandex cavorting is probably taking it a bit too far.
