DISCUSSION -- October 2016 300-word Writing Challenge (#23)

[Cat's Cradle]

Good stuff, farntfar! A fun read. I loved 'Professor of Percussive Linguistics'!

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

fanntfar -- The rapid, jumping rhythm of this imaginative tale of the unexpected perfectly matches the nature of its narrator and plot.

Glen -- The author delves deep into the psychology of the protagonist to create an effective chiller.

 

[farntfar]

Thank you, Cats.
And thanks also to you Victoria, for your wonderful review.

 

[Ajid]

We should at the end of each year vote on the best challenge of that year. This month has been nothing short of exceptional. We could have an awards show. We could call it the Chronies.

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

LittleStar -- This whimsical poem allows the reader to take a closer look at something that may have been taken for granted.

Great, another poll I'd get no votes in

Great, another poll I'd get no votes in

Bob Dylan just won the noble prize for literature. I'm not saying if that is right or wrong just pointing out you may have a chance at the "Chronies".

You are right, to be in with a chance I'd need to be included on the poll in the first place

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

Vaz -- In this intriguing fantasy the author creates a mysterious world and a protagonist who is more than meets the eye.

 

[Vaz]

Thank you for the lovely review, Victoria.

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

Judderman -- A complex implied background and a multitude of speculative content fill this compelling science fiction story.

 

[Judderman]

Thanks Victoria! Speculative content Maybe I should be writing the news.

 

[Cat's Cradle]

Terrific story, Robert!

 

[Calliopenjo]

I don't think I've said this yet but thank you, Victoria, for the review. It always sounds better than my actual story.

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

Robert Mackay -- The power and vividness of childhood memories is aptly conveyed in this imaginative fantasy.

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

HazelRah -- This wistful and nostalgic fantasy reminds us all of the merciless passage of time.

 

[HareBrain]

I'm sorry to say we've had to disqualify an entry for being over word-count. It's probably worth reminding people (even though it might not have been the cause in this case) that it's dangerous to rely on software for word-count duties unless you're absolutely sure what rules it applies, and even then it's unwise if your entry is close to the limit.

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

Shyrka -- This evocative dark fantasy powerfully conveys the dangerous allure of the unknown.

 

[Shyrka]

Thanks for the lovely review, Victoria, as always. The turnaround time on your reviews is scary - when do you sleep?!

 

[Mr Orange]

really didn't think i would be able to get anything in for this, but managed to avoid doing work for the last hour so scrambled something together.

some great stories already, with more to come i'm sure...
