Now, all this 'pre-school' nonsense and proposed 'punk' themes are all very well, but I'm still waiting for chickenpunk to make an appearance (since June '14, according to search button!).

 

[Dan Jones]

Enough talk. Whoever wins should implement my new genre of 1940s vegetarian detective novels.

I call it quinoa.

for some reason i have it in my head that someone suggested a "pigs in space" genre one month, but after searching for it i think i was wrong. must have just been a genre that made me think of pigs in spaaaace...

so, my suggestion: "pigs in space"

 

[Droflet]

So, Mr O, are you willing to go the whole hog?

 

[Mr Orange]

of course @Droflet, but it might be boaring to read

 

[Dan Jones]

If it's anything like your previous entries it could be an absolute porker.

 

[Mr Orange]

thanks @DG Jones you're sow kind

 

[Juliana]

Honestly, people, can we get bacon track here?

 

[Mr Orange]

That's a crackling idea Juliana

 

[TheDustyZebra]

Are you getting boared?

 

[Dan Jones]

Stop hogging the boards, people!

 

[LittleStar]

These farmyard puns do crack me up... And seem to come out to play most months. You're all so much better at them than I would be, so I'll resist the urge to join with a bad one (Seriously the only one I can think of is "leaf it to you guys" instead of "leave it to you guys" and I'm pretty sure that leaves aren't pigs).

I was struggling with both theme and genre for this month, I've never written cyberpunk, and only read a few things... I found the first few lones of the Wikipedia entry for cyberpunk were very stimulating for my brain however.
And I don't like reading the entries until I've got my own idea sorted... So I've had to wait! Ive got half an idea now, just need to work out where everything fits... And how it fits into under 75 words

And, now I'm dreading the voting. There are already 3-4 stories in contention and Im certain there are some great stories still to come.
But that's a problem for Future LittleStar, for now I'll just enjoy them as they roll in

 

[Dan Jones]

I like the sound of Future Littlestar. How many Littlestars are there? I imagine at least 47; 6 for each day of the week, and 5 for bank holidays.

Cow'in hell. If the fish puns was baaaaa'd, farm ones are even cluckin' worse. You'll never find me milking puns like that.

 

[Droflet]

You know, ve have vays of making you stop punning. You swine.

Item: TitaniumTi: This subtle story depicts with convincing detail the nature of temptation and how it is to fall into it.

We could do fish puns as well if you like. Not for any particular reason, just for the halibut.

 

[Droflet]

Stop it. Do I have to say it, again? It's getting far, far too silly.

 

[Luiglin]

Apologies but bad puns are in my sole.

 

[Mr Orange]

Stop it. Do I have to say it, again? It's getting far, far too silly.

And now for something completely different...
