DISCUSSION -- October 2014 300-word Writing Challenge (#15)

[Talysia]

Many thanks for the vote, Rafellin - you've made my day!

 

[Karn Maeshalanadae]

Not to worry, Karn - you're in good company.

Yes, well, knowing my 300 track record, I don't even know why I freaking bother with it anymore. It seems like everyone and their grandparents and uncles are winning the challenges, but I can never seem to manage even a single vote anymore.

 

[Culhwch]

Yes, well, knowing my 300 track record, I don't even know why I freaking bother with it anymore.

For the challenge?

 

[Karn Maeshalanadae]

Well...


I don't know, really, to be perfectly honest, hehe. Neither are really all that big a challenge most of the time.


Still...

[Jo Zebedee]

Thanks for the mentions Johnnyjet and Alc. I am noting the month's results and warn you all it's back to misery and little dark minds next time. This sweetness and lovely endings obviously don't wash.

 

[Juliana]

Thanks for the mentions, Alc and JohnnyJet.

 

[Starbeast]

Firstly, thank you David Evil Overlord for the vote. You made my night. (happy dance)

Second, thanks to those who mentioned my tale. (continues dancing, then trips on carpet)

And third, I voted for ALCHEMIST, ASHLEYNE B. WATTS and THE JUDGE.


I'd also like to say I was astonished to read so many great stories that were filled with spectacular imagination. I noticed that the votes are spread out, which shows the high caliber of entries this October. My list included everyone, and it took me almost a week to decide on only three stories. My short list was massive.

I applaud eveybody who joined us on this 300 chalenge. Marvelous writting by all.

 

[Droflet]

Wow, mentions. And they spelled my name right. Thanks heaps to A Fare Wells and Johnnyjet.
