Discussion -- August 2014 75-Word Writing Challenge

[Ursa major]

At least you came across what TJ did, Teresa.

 

[Teresa Edgerton]

I don't know what to call it. It's not quite an acrostic, but equally clever.

 

[Juliana]

Thank you for the shortlisting, Teresa!

Looking forward to the September challenge... Summer in the US is hot and long. Hooray for back to school and some peace around the house!

 

[Cat's Cradle]

I don't know what to call it. It's not quite an acrostic, but equally clever.

Oh yes, I see that now, thanks to Teresa's reference...very nice, TJ! I really need to read these more closely. CC

 

[Jo Zebedee]

Thanks, Teresa. Close one, this month....

I don't know what to call it. It's not quite an acrostic, but equally clever.

It seems to fit the definition:

a poem, word puzzle, or other composition in which certain letters in each line form a word or words.

Oh, and thank you for the runner-up-ness, Ursa!

 

[Ursa major]

The poll is now closed and we have a winner.

Congratulations, Ashleyne. B. Watts!​

 

[Ashleyne]

Thanks for putting me on you shortlists, The Judge and thank you for putting me on your runners up list, Ursa Major.

An infinite universe of thanks to TDZ, Albernovo, A. Fare Wells, ratsy and farntfar for the votes.

Wow, I’m speechless.

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

[Juliana]

Congratulations! Well done, Ashleyne.

 

[Teresa Edgerton]

Congratulations, Ashleyne!

 

[Tywin]

Congrats!

 

[Michael Colton]

Congratulations.

 

[TheDustyZebra]

Congratulations, Ashleyne, on a well-deserved landslide victory!

 

[Droflet]

Well deserved win, Ashlene. I had to vote for you because I was scared of what you'd do to me if I didn't. He he.

 

[Droflet]

Hang on. Just checked the poll to see how many votes Ash got and whoa, another vote. Wow, thanks Still learning.

 

[Cat's Cradle]

Yay, Ashleyne! Well done, and great story!!

 

[David Evil Overlord]

Voting over, I can explain myself...

My story was based on Baye's Theorem, which is an equation used when calculating statistical probability.

The reason you should never use it to program an electronic judge and jury is simple: that whole Presumption of Innocence thing requires you to reset one of the numbers in the equation to zero...and any number at all, multiplied by zero...is still zero...Oops...

P.S. thanks for the mentions, and to Hoopy for the stealth vote.

 

[Jo Zebedee]

Fab, David. Very tricksy.

Congrats, Ashleyne!

 

[alchemist]

Well done Ashleyne!
