Discussion - May 2015 100-Word Anon Writing Challenge (#6)

[Kerrybuchanan]

I turn my back on you lot for five minutes and what happens? The 100 word Anon becomes a limerick thread.

Carry on.

Swallowed a cow
How, oh, how
Did he swallow a cow?

All you have to do is win, Luiglin, and set that as the next theme...

Now that would be an evil worthy of the Dark Lord himself

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

"The Shadows of Your Smile" -- Ugliness is only skinless deep.

"A Midsummer Night's Cleave" -- The gods hurt those who hurt them elves.

"Ripple" -- Still waters stun deep.

"Time to Reflect" -- Journeys end in lovers' plotting.

 

[Kerrybuchanan]

Only a few hours left, folks. This closes at Midnight tonight, GMT!

 

[Cat's Cradle]

You're doing a terrific job, Kerry! As are our wonderful reviewers. I think the proof is clearly shown by the record number of Anonymous Challenge entries this month. Hard to believe we're so close to voting, and guessing.

 

[Dan Jones]

It's been a fun Challenge, certainly. I'd like to have a go at hosting next time (July??), if I may.

Where do I sign up?

Looking forward to guessing. Voting less so - this is gonna be hard.

 

[Kerrybuchanan]

@DG Jones, consider yourself volunteered! I know you will enjoy it. I certainly have.

Not sure about the date. I think the next one will be June because we can't overlap with the July 300 worder. Is that right, @The Judge, @TheDustyZebra, @Ursa major?

I'll PM you the cheat sheets CC sent to me, with my own additions, as seems to be the tradition here.

Off to do more A-level exam runs now so I'll be back later to see how we're doing.

Yeah... I'd kind of like to know that, too.

@Kerrybuchanan fab job this month. Actually, doing a fabulous job also seems to be a tradition here.

• Ah, but, several interesting steps remain: asking a mod to close down the submissions thread, preparing a poll with the voter's name displayed, preparing the list of those who have/might have/possibly have submitted, while the last piece appears at 23:58 and your heavy-breathing voters are expecting to start their guessing lists at 00:00, the encouragement of those who had no idea, and still need to post this lack because that is the unique characteristic of this particular challenge, the giving of enough clues to keep the 'well, it can't be him then, because…' guessers, while not giving anything away…

• Oh, the last few days are not the easiest.

 

[Juliana]

@chrispenycate Chris! How did you get your quotes to say 'Julie' and not 'Juliana'? You had me so intrigued I went looking for other places I'd been 'quoted' and they all say Juliana. What magical mischief is this?

(also, magical mischief would make a great challenge theme )

June, yes. Unless you want to wait till August.

 

[Dan Jones]

June is good. My birthday is in June. There can be no greater omen than that. I'll go for it

But still plenty of work left to do this time around!

 

[ratsy]

It's the last day right? I can't even tell if I wrote a story yet. I read through them and I think I may have written at least 5 or 6 of them.

 

[Juliana]

I read through them and I think I may have written at least 5 or 6 of them.

I think I wrote a couple of them, or maybe not because I can't remember if I sent them in...

 

[chrispenycate]

I think I wrote a couple of them, or maybe not because I can't remember if I sent them in...

I must have done because I know I promised there would be one of mine there, and I don't lie.

 

[Juliana]

Exported Brazilian says: Chris, you have let me peek behind the curtain and now mine eyes dazzle. The Chrons will never be the same again.

 

[Kerrybuchanan]

Chris, You have me in stitches here. How do you do it?

Oh, and thanks for the pep talk. It's the poll I'm dreading....

 

[farntfar]

ratsy you're right

 

[ratsy]

removed in hopes no one starts false quoting me
