[Graymalkin]

Hmm, that gives me an idea for a new story: "STDs in the Age of Digital Love"

Interesting idea. Could employ morphogenetic resonance encoding algorithms. Of course.

If you are going to reply to one of the emails from Natasha or Sarah in your spam box, you are going to get a eSTD for sure

@HazelRah .... Flowers and Weeds .... Hazel brings us a story that shows us that what looks pretty may be too much to handle.

@CTRandall .... Modelling Love in the Age of Big Data .... CTR programs us a love story for a code writer.

 

[Hugh]

Well apologies @Vaz I'm using Yggdrasil also, but I don't think there's any overlap. I'll be posting it later today, just waiting for possible tweaks to emerge. (I never look at the stories or discussion until I'm ready to post: if I do, the competence of others can paralyse me).

Great minds and all that... I almost wrote one for that, too!

 

[Ian Fortytwo]

@Ian Fortytwo .... Cheating never prospers .... Ian goes all Washington Irving on us and tells a tale about poker, laughter, and root chairs.

Ian Fortytwo: A subtle fable of temptation with a sly hint that even the smallest vices will be found out.

Thank you for your reviews.

@Parson & @Victoria Silverwolf

Just twigged I'd not replied to your posted reviews... erm, three weeks ago?

My apologies and my thanks!

No problem, no need to thank me. I review because I enjoy doing it. Thanks are appreciated, but if undone it doesn't count against you in the least!

 

[Parson]

@Hugh .... Gardener's Dilemma .... Hugh tells us a story that illustrates that a weed is any plant growing where the gardener does not want it.

@David Evil Overlord .... Harvester .... DEO tells a tale of how our world ends. It ends not with a bang but a whoosh.

What!! You told me it would deny their ability to get votes!

(Now I'll need a new excuse why I don't get votes!)

 

[LittleStar]

Done and done.

Alas, this is one of those rare months when I feel my post was being hurt by the word count.
There were 8-9 certain words, that while not needed to get the idea across, were key in having it delivered in a certain way. But these are the hard choices we learn from. In this case, when to stop editing.

I have kept a master copy, so all is not lost

 

[Parson]

@LittleStar .... Autumn Light .... Our Star has given us a thought provoking verse. It asks us about whether our love regards only the externals or the core of being.

Well done LittleStar! That is a verse worthy of publication. Thank you for sharing.

@Perpetual Man .... Abject Stupidity .... Perp tells us a morality tale. If you fail to consider the important things first they will crush you in the end.

It looks like we might have to struggle for our 42 entries. And 42 is the answer to everything, at least that's what I've heard.

@TheDustyZebra you've got more chronners on your Facebook than me want to bull..encourage some to enter?

 

[TheDustyZebra]

Yes, I shall start with ... let's see now ... Sam! She needs a good reminder that it's now the last minute.

 

[nixie]

@HoopyFrood, @Jo Zebedee @Harpo @HareBrain @Dave @pyan you all owe a 75 word challenge.

 

[HoopyFrood]

I don't recall leaving an IOU!

 

[nixie]

You must be due a win.

 

[Jo Zebedee]

@HoopyFrood, @Jo Zebedee @Harpo @HareBrain @Dave @pyan you all owe a 75 word challenge.

Hangs head in shame

Sometimes a comment like that is all we aspiring writers can dare hope for, and it certainly helps keeps the flame alive. Thanks, Parson

There you go. It’ll make no sense to most but it does to me xx
