Discussion Thread -- September 2014 75-word Writing Challenge

[Parson]

Goodness, Parson, that's rather dark!
Nice entry, though...

Thank you. I don't do dark very often.

Virgina thanks for the kind words.

 

[WinterLight]

Look, it's been a busy month guys...
​

Wow the levels of introspect here are boggling, you clearly have a fiendish wit - let alone before it comes cannonballing through the fourth wall!

 

[Mr Orange]

ok so got mine up - a little something with a touch of home. nothing much, but something to get the writing going again.

edit: i will have to find some time to catch up on everything when i can

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

Mr Orange -- The reader is treated to an exotic and imgainative myth.

 

[TacticalLoco]

Victoria, thank you for your always kind and thoughtful review.

 

[Mr Orange]

thanks for the review victoria, much appreciated

 

[Teresa Edgerton]

I'm in. I thought I wouldn't have anything this month, but then a sentence came to me, and then a story.

 

[Cat's Cradle]

And quite a story, Teresa, I really liked it!

 

[chrispenycate]

Well, no question this month about us reaching the 42 mark. Still, with a bit more than half a day remaining for the latecomers I will point out that alchemist, Azzagorn, BigJ, Boneman, Culhwch, Starbeast, StilLearning, The Judge, TheDustyZebra, Tywin and Ursa major had not, at the moment of my inscribing this, yet submitted and, of course, numerous others could join in a final sprint to make this a record breaker, as I've only marked the most likely culprits.

 

[Parson]

T.E. That was an exquisite piece of writing! (Later you will have to let me know what the sentence was the inspired the story. I have a guess.)

 

[StilLearning]

RE chrispenycate.... I have submitted a story (of sorts), I have, I have, I have! I've got a review off Victoria (thank you Victoria) and a comment off winterlight, and a sticker (ok.. that's not true but it should be) and everything!

 

[Boneman]

I'm truly struggling, even on the last day....

 

[The Judge]

I'm in, though I don't know that following Boneman's ribs was the best move I ever made. I'm going for tear-jerking, and he's gone for human-flesh-jerkying...

 

[Boneman]

Beef jerky time!! Aah, Eddie Murphy, what became of you?

 

[Ursa major]

Still more than four hours to go, and I'm in too. (I have no idea how that happened.)

 

[TheDustyZebra]

Yes, you were supposed to be running late because the Challenge went up 24 minutes late at the start of the month. Another plan, foiled.

 

[Ursa major]

Well, I didn't want to get caught out by September being one of the shorter months of the year....

 

[Teresa Edgerton]

Ah, a tricksy little entry, TDZ.

 

[Teresa Edgerton]

Less than an hour left, but we could still reach 50 stories.

 

[TheDustyZebra]

Well, the Challenge was anthropomorphism, right?
