DISCUSSION -- December 2014 75 Word Writing Challenge

[TheDustyZebra]

Thanks, Starbeast and Victoria!

I can't speak for the others, but I just happened to get an idea immediately upon seeing the theme. The rumors of the Zombie Squirrel Apocalypse had nothing to do with my sudden urge to write a story and pack my bags.

 

[Karn Maeshalanadae]

Many thanks for the kind reviews, SB, Victoria. Can't really say much about the entry.

[Mr Orange]

phew so i'm in....

i have chopped and changed my story plenty over the last two weeks to try and fit it in with the, aah original... hopefully it works!

also had an "oh crap" moment just now as i never checked my word count properly (i was well down so didn't think it would worry the word count elves). Then i noticed my hyphenations! Cue last minute recount and deep sigh of relief!

 

[Juliana]

Well worth the trouble, Mr. Orange. That was loads of fun!

 

[TheDustyZebra]

Mr Orange, that is brilliant!

And welcome to the Bravest Newbie, come to horrify us well in his (or her) first Challenge!

A Hardboiled Festive Season Noir
(part six)
​

A. Fare Wells - You have done a Heavenly job of blending the real origin of Christmas with a modern flare. I loved how you made a believer out of a would-be-kidnapper. Otherwise he would have learned (like so many in history), you don't mess with God's plans.

The Bravest Newbie - Firstly, nice to meet you. And second, I enjoyed your story about the mysterious holiday visitor named, Nick. Is he a crazed murderer, or a supernatural creature? You left me wanting more. Very cool untitled tale of eerie goodness.

Mr Orange - On the 12th day of December, Mr Orange wrote a master-piece. One tremendous tale, written like the song, displayed in numeric tidings, with noir galore, made, in-to a festive, en-try. Bravo sir. Perfect for carolers to sing.

 

[Mr Orange]

Well worth the trouble, Mr. Orange. That was loads of fun!

Thanks a lot Juliana, loads of fun was what I was going for!

Mr Orange, that is brilliant!

I'll take brilliant from TDZ! Thanks heaps.

Jeepers... Many thanks for that review SB!

 

[Starbeast]

You're very welcome Mr Orange. Nicely done.

Glen! Release the more hounds on the carolers!

 

[jastius]

Starbeast thank you for the review!
I saw that dish soap commercial with the poor little seabird needing diesel washed off....

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

The Bravest Newbie -- The author creates an effectively grim mood in this hard-hitting crime story.

Mr Orange -- With sardonic wit, this cleverly wrought parody of an old tune creates dark comedy.

 

[Starbeast]

Starbeast thank you for the review!

You're welcome Jastius. I believe I'm going to have those original images of those poor animals covered in oil for the rest of my life. I'll never forget that terrible tragedy caused by a drunken idiot. I have a real soft spot in my heart for animals.

Howdy, I'm BACK !!,
Been trying for 3 days, thanks Sam and Brian. My fault I guess, I have a strong dislike for computers and they know it.
I hope to enter a story this month, sounds like fun. I turned 78 yesterday, hope I'm not the oldest guy on this forum, women are exempt from telling their age.
Hello to all my friends, good to be back.
