[Victoria Silverwolf]

G.T.: Those who listen carefully may not like what they hear.

 

[Parson]

@bedyak .... Bosses Right?! .... Translations are good, but shared pain crosses every language barrier.

@emrosenagel .... Life and death .... Word use can tell us a lot more about world view than one would think at first.

@G.T. .... Man's Best Friend .... I'm not sure we are ready to hear what Man's Best Friend has to say, or plans to do.

@nixie .... Some Things Should Be Left Buried .... Ekkk! Quick get the shovel! Some things really should be left buried.

 

[bedyak]

@JS Wiig ... taking solace in the unknown, love that theme. Also naming your character Rosetta was a great touch.

@reiver33... universal communication! You inspired me.

 

[Luiglin]

I just couldn't resist.

 

[Parson]

@AlekseiVashchenko .... "Thank you for entrusting us with last moments of your life." .... Words have limits and sometimes our experiences find those limits.

@JS Wiig .... Unanswerable Questions .... Humanity must often find peace in harmony with life's struggles.

@Guanazee .... Prompt Concord .... Sometimes understanding happens at the level of shared diversion.

@Luiglin ..... Close your mouth and open up your heart .... vegetation, communication, and consideration are in a strange mastication paradox.

 

[Parson]

@therapist .... Can you hear the drums? .... In some sense every communication is more than understanding; it's also life and death.

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

nixie: Achieving a goal can be as disappointing as failing to achieve it.

The curse of the nominee. I had the same issue; you spend more time thinking about what will be popular, fun and challenging for others and not how you yourself may tackle it. Which I think is how it should be.

Have we ever had anyone who has won after nominating the genre/theme?

 

[nixie]

Think @TheDustyZebra has.

Yes had a quick check July/ August 2018. Unusual a lot of winners seldom get a vote in the next challenge.

 

[nixie]

Sorry @mosaix has as well. He's not happy with winning the most challenges he has to join the elite club of a double win.

Sorry should have a smiley but some reason they won't work.

Wow, we rocked the summer/fall of 2018, @mosaix! Is it time for a repeat?

 

[Parson]

@paranoid marvin .... Fact or Fiction? .... P.M. makes me rub my chin and say, Hmm, is that how it happened?

@Iwroteathing .... The Magician's Remission .... Understanding the words is one thing, comprehending their meaning is quite another.

@Bren G .... The Course of Things .... A good education will let you read the sign that points the way to your destiny.
