[Karn Maeshalanadae]

Just glad you speak so highly of it.

 

[Starbeast]

I've been tainted by lowbudget horror films, Karn. Hey. Who's that riding toward me?

CHOP !!! (thud)

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

Phyrebrat -- With a sure touch for the chilling detail, the author creates a new tale from the crypt.

CHOP !!! (thud)

Oh, it wasn't from a movie, man...the entity goes back far further than any movie...

 

[Bowler1]

Finally, an idea. I've some work to do with it yet, but I'll knock something together before the competition closes.

 

[Phyrebrat]

Thank you for the kind reviews, Starbeast and Victoria!

The amount of times I've wittered on about horror, I'd have to enter this month's 75!!!

(And I'm embarrassed to say The Folding isn't even a novel!!! Just a very long short story that I'm finishing as part of my SS4 assignment for Springs)

[nixie]

I'm struggling to come up with something

 

[VALIS13]

Don't force it, nixie. Try some freeform nonsense writing (which is what my wife thinks of some of my best stuff....)

 

[chrispenycate]

Chrispenycate - This was unexpected. You build me up into a mass of terror, then clobber me with a comical ending. Very cool.

Unexpected? I can't do horror, but I can manage bathos. Or was it that I didn't work in verse this time, but in reverse? Thanks for the comment, anyway.

 

[jastius]

yay me! did it with days to spare this time... i wrote three but was fiddling forever.
one was silly, one was spooky and one was horrible.
decided not to go with the silly one because it was umm.. a little salacious...doan know if ipicked right of the other two for you guys.it doesn't seem science fictiony to me.

 

[Cat's Cradle]

I think you're fine with the genre, jastius! It was pretty wide-open this month! And your story works well too! I dig the dark atmosphere! CC

 

[jastius]

thankyou cats cradle!

 

[mosaix]

This is one of those months where you want people to say "That story was absolutely horrible."

 

[farntfar]

Magnificent, Boneman.

DON'T PANIC!
​

Today is not the last day to post an entry. What's happened -- and there must be a blue moon, or a red letter, or something -- is that I've posted earlier than usual.

(If you're surprised, imagine what I feel like....)

​

 

[Teresa Edgerton]

I did panic and wonder if I had lost track of the days. I'm surprised my poor old heart is still ticking.

 

[jastius]

i think i screwed up ursa's timing by posting early..
i must have broke down the time continuum.. (cool )

 

[Karn Maeshalanadae]

Careful with the time/space continuum there, Jas. We don't want to get launched into a timeline where ducks rule the world.


Geese are more trustworthy.
