DISCUSSION -- October 2017 300-Word Writing Challenge (#27)

[Cathbad]

It looks like a scene from the Phantasm series to me. Keep expecting to see the Tall Man or one of his globes.

Exactly what I was thinking!!

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

Can you see it where Del posted it above?

Nope.

 

[DelActivisto]

Nope.

You can right-click and directly "Download Linked File" this way.

 

[Ihe]

You can also try e-mailing her the image.

This works for me. Thanks.

The other thing you could try @Victoria Silverwolf, is making sure your browser and firewall settings allow pictures from this site. There should be settings along the lines of "always block pictures from this site", "ask about pictures from this site", and "always allow pictures from this site". If this is the problem, setting it to "always allow" should fix it.

At first, I had a brilliant idea. It turned out not so brilliant. So back to the drawing board, a familiar place, and I recreated my story. This version I like a lot better.

In other news, it's been one of those days that I wanted to go back to bed so I could start the day all over again.

 

[Ihe]

I got a story down on the first day, straight up. Now I'm just tweaking the wording to fit the word cap.

I've been out of the game for a while, but I tell ya, this one is a contender people!

I get the feeling that, come October 10th, there's gonna be a couple of dozen stories getting slammed in as soon as the thread is unlocked

I haven't started, which is weird for me. An idea in my head is still only half realized.

 

[Danny McG]

I've done three so far, read them back through the next day and then deleted!
Tricky this quarter

 

[Danny McG]

I've got one, only about twenty words too long. Little edit and I'm done.
No monsters or death in this one! That's new for me

 

[DragonAether]

Mine is nearly complete, I have just to check grammar and polish some few thing to make the story flow smoother, hoping to not get over the limit.

 

[Cat's Cradle]

I like your story, Ashleyne! Terrific ending. (Also, very happy I didn't end up first! )

I'm in, too. This photo just spoke to me (though hopefully not in the same voice as is in my story!). Wish I could write another for this, but I'll Live vicariously the rest of the challenge through the other entries. Best of luck with your stories, everyone, CC

 

[The Judge]

You can write another for this, you just can't post it anywhere until all the voting is finished. So get scribbling! (Not sure if the posted one is a funny or creepy story -- creepily funny, perhaps! And Ashleyne, that's a very sweet tale.)

 

[Cat's Cradle]

Hah! Maybe I will!! (Mine's meant as a fond satire, so your reaction is exactly what I was hoping for.)

 

[Shyrka]

Go for it. I've written several entries in the past and had to choose between them at the last minute. It can be heart-breaking, but since you've already entered...

 

[Ashleyne]

Thanks for the kind comments, CC and TJ! I thought I'd try moving out of my comfort zone with this month's challange.

 

[Danny McG]

Still doing final edit on mine.
This time I'm having a go at something really sentimental and mawkish

 

[Cathbad]

I'm almost done with mine.

If by being done...

one means... almost having an idea...
