DISCUSSION -- June 2014 75 Word Writing Challenge

[Victoria Silverwolf]

Mr Orange -- This inventive and intelligent variation on a classic theme of SF is enhanced by its use of unusual typography.

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

StilLearning -- Through the convincing use of emotional characterization, the author shows us how our feelings can be used to sway our actions.

 

[Bowler1]

I ended up with three ideas and on a quick straw pole of work buddies I've posted my WWI creation. The Emperor Nero and my Kamikaze versions will never see the light of day. So clearly, I've had some fun doing this. I was pushed to come up with ideas, but I got there, eventually. Laters everyone.

 

[Mr Orange]

thanks for the review victoria... wasn't actually aware i was using unusual typography but re-reading it, i guess i kind of was.

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

Karn Maeshalanadae -- By portraying a pivotal moment in history through intimate details, the author shows us the importance of small things.

Bowler1 -- This subtle and effective character study conveys the tragedy of what is to come.

 

[Bowler1]

Thank you Victoria.

 

[AnyaKimlin]

Thank you for making it sound so good, Victoria.

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

mosaix -- Appropriately, this tale makes use of misdirection to surprise and delight the reader.

 

[Teresa Edgerton]

Mine is posted.

It actually is a true story.

Though obviously not about me.

 

[Cat's Cradle]

Cool entry, Teresa! Love to hear the story behind the story someday!

 

[Teresa Edgerton]

If (considering that the theme this month is deception) there is an actual story to tell. Maybe I lied. Maybe the person who allegedly told me the story lied.

After the voting is done, maybe I will reveal the truth about that.

 

[Jo Zebedee]

I had the pleasure yesterday of visiting the location of mine with a Chronner (who wasn't Alc-from-down-the-road), and their wife, which was lovely.

 

[Cat's Cradle]

Ahhh, wheels within wheels! Sadly, I usually see only one wheel at a time, so I will wait anxiously to hear the truth (or deception) of that matter post contest!

I'm getting the feeling you love to tell that story. But does anyone ask you for recipes?

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

Teresa Edgerton -- Perfect use of dialect breathes reality into a finely realized character in this slice of life.

 

[Jo Zebedee]

Casserole. Tastes like pork, allegedly.

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

lonewolfwanderer -- Through elevated but natural language, the author creates a believable variation of a classic legend.
