Discussion Thread -- April 2017 75-word Writing Challenge

[Parson]

@nixie .... Gives us a look at a beloved game of head ball. Why's everyone hurling? After all, "It's Only a Game."

 

[Stuart Suffel]

Is it just under two hours now? Or three?

What you guys talking about? Not the voting I hope? I'm tired. Lost work. Tired. Make answers easy for me to understand

 

[TheDustyZebra]

No, the deadline for submitting. I'm out wrangling a couple more stories in, to ensure the magic number.

 

[Stuart Suffel]

Ah, different thread, not the 300? Ok.

 

[The Judge]

Nope, this is the 75 worder. There's still a week to go for the 300.

Right. Ok, maybe a bit of scribbling might cure my woes. Guidelines in first post, I assume?

 

[Parson]

Yep, just like the 300.

 

[The Judge]

Yes. In particular: Theme -- Play, Hobbies, and other Leisure Activities; Genre -- Fantasy. And it's 75 words -- be careful counting.

I blame my entry on spending to much time in The Cracked Pot.

nixie -- This dark comedy shows us how seriously some people take sports.

TheDustyZebra -- This lightly romantic tale reminds the reader that love comes in many forms.

Stuart Suffel -- This touching family chronicle demonstrates the power of storytelling.

Tywin -- This witty retelling of myth also shows us something about modern relationships.

Ohhh why did I not think of that when I was fumbling for a title? Ahh yes, because this is a family-friendly forum.

Hi all - I just about snuck an entry in at the very last minute! It's great fun (but very frustrating!) writing these.

Victoria Silverwolf - thank you for the review!

 

[Heijan Xavier]

While I'm posting songs, I'll try and always post this one the last hour of a challenge.

 

[Heijan Xavier]

Thank you Victoria and Parson for the spot on reviews.
