@AnRoinnUltra - Great story!

 

[AnRoinnUltra]

Thank you @Provincial , and thanks for listening
Am not as brave as you with guessing ...hedging my best with the stories (which is prob cheating) in the hope that the numbers will get whittled down a bit

 

[AnRoinnUltra]

*hedging my bets

 

[Phyrebrat]

With apologies but I’m not able to contribute to the SS thread at the moment due to ongoing mental health issues.

 

[THX1138]

@Phyrebrat Take care and get some rest. PAX.

 

[AnRoinnUltra]

No panic at all @Phyrebrat , this is just a bit of fun -mind yourself

 

[THX1138]

We could try guessing on our owns for another week. After that the authors could reveal their story if they want.
What does everyone think?

 

[Provincial]

Sounds like it could work. What date should we work towards - 4th February?


My revised guesses:

Jimmy Jolly’s Christmas Wish - @cyprus7
Ghosts in the Machine - @emrosenagel
Home Again, Home Again - @genelewis
The Restroom at the Bend of the Universe - @THX1138
Flight - @Victoria Silverwolf
For Where Your Treasure Is - @Swank
The Rooster of Moscow - @Mon0Zer0
Long Day’s Gobbling Into Night - @Dan Jones
The Inner Citadel - @BigJ
First contact - @Luiglin
Chopin’s Music Box - @Luiglin
The Dolphin of Table Rock Lake - @sule
Correction - @Jo Zebedee

 

[THX1138]

Could work. We'll see what the others think. I fell that we are still missing 2 stories, but like AnRoinnUltra said, it's all in fun.

And still no, not mine!

 

[AnRoinnUltra]

4th February?

Sounds good to me, gives us the week to guess and then we could all fess up after the weekend -sorry @Parson

Remember Sunday is the first, not the last day of the week!

the week turnover ...so full disclosure next Monday?

 

[THX1138]

Sounds good to me.

 

[Provincial]

Monday, 5th February. Excellent.

 

[Luiglin]

I'm rubbish at guessing but will give it a go. I'm more likely to get some correct if I randomise the list

Same here! Provincial is having a good time just going for it too!

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

PM @Victoria Silverwolf, mate!

Yes, please do.

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

Given a couple of correct guesses, I'll state that i wrote "Flight." I will attach the full text.

I also fooled around with creating illustrations for it, using the AI art system Night Cafe.

What a great idea, @Victoria Silverwolf has published her own story once it was guessed correctly, and we all could do that too if we liked. I will!

I couldn’t open the illustrations, but that may be because I am working on an iPad. Pity.

 

[THX1138]

@Provincial and all, here are the images. Thanks for the story @Victoria Silverwolf!

 

[AnRoinnUltra]

I will attach the full text.

Thanks, I enjoyed that (couldn't open the illustrations but there was enough mental imagery going on to do the job).
Fair play

@Provincial and all, here are the images. Thanks for the story @Victoria Silverwolf!

I imagined Cat's Eye as a lot more misty and mysterious, and Lavani was in outer space exploration work clothes ...goes to show
