DISCUSSION THREAD -- February 2020 -- 75-Word Writing Challenge

[elvet]

So is that 5 new members entering the 75 worder so far this month? That’s pretty cool.

 

[BT Jones]

I guess I must be one of them. I’ve never done anything like this before and am liking the vibe and the challenge.

I couldn't agree more. I'm also one of the newbies and I found the flash fiction to be very fun and challenging.

 

[elvet]

@BT Jones and @JJ Maier There is also a 100 word Anonymous Challenge here if you are interested.

 

[Parson]

@BT Jones .... A Highland Echo .... BT gives us a glimpse of the witchcraft of love in all of it's timelessness.
Welcome to the Chrons and to the 75! I'm impressed for a 10 min. story. Well done.

There was one more newcomer, which get his story deleted because of 84 words and we might loose another newcomer entry. That's too bad, it must be a bummer to start this way.

Thanks very much Parson, I enjoyed the challenge. And I have to say I really enjoyed For Want of a Ring. I loved the lyricism and flow of the words, and that closing line is just a knockout!

Thanks Elvet, I will give that a crack.

@chrispenycate

Well this is either creepy or coincidental, but this popped up in the sidebar on YouTube as a 'Recommended for you' video

The internet is always watching!

 

[chrispenycate]

So, my knight errant is a night's error, as much a fantasy as his aquatic paramour? Still, romantic fantasy was the genre, and he seems to have managed happy at least part of the ever after…

BT Jones offers a memento of one for whom patience was a hard-earned virtue.

sule offers a memento of one willing to pay the price of freedom.

 

[Vince W]

Thanks for the review @Victoria Silverwolf. Maybe there should be a contest for reviews in less than 10 words.

 

[Parson]

@BT Jones .... Thanks for the kind words! You seriously made my day!

-------

@sule .... A Necklace .... Sule points us toward the story behind a memento's magic.

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

DannMcGrew offers a memento of one who knows that to love is to set free.

 

[Parson]

@DannMcGrew .... Boyhood Treasure Box .... Dan writes us a sweet fantasy of the true actions of love and it's cost.

 

[Mr Orange]

well i'm in.

a little... aah.. different, but I had to do it, genre and theme be damned!

 

[Parson]

@Mr Orange .... And Now For Something Completely Different .... Mr Orange writes a story that lives up to its name and reminds us of the real power behind the throne.

@Star-child .... A Tower of Loss .... Star-child turns the old saw "Seeing is believing" right on its ear while pointing out that love is the key to real freedom.

As I read your story, I laughed out loud when I got to the ‘two coconut ‘alves.’ Such a great image, and I see it fitting the genre and topic just fine.
