So what does everybody else think? I take the point about reader interest, but Humour and Satire has always been a bit of a backwater and I for one would like to see it promoted and, perhaps, standards raised a little.

I'm not going to promote or join in yet another author-organized event.

Mind if I join you on the bench

Have a seat. There's plenty of room.

From behind a tree, the moose looked on. He was a patient moose, and the bench was long. More would come, more writers suffering from contest overload, and soon the winter food stocks would be complete.

You've invented a carnivorous moose? I know they're pretty bad-tempered, but that's very original.

Sorry, but the Op's opinion is just that — one person's preference. While one person prefers nothing but the sex scene details, the next person would read a few paragraphs and go looking for a different story. There is no "reader" here — there are thousands every day. This delusion that all stories need to be crafted in a certain way is equivalent to going to a bookstore expecting nothing but comic books to be on the shelves

To be a happy reader, find the authors who write what you like and favorite them. I can assure you that most authors here write for their own pleasure and not to please a reader who paid $0.00 for the effort.

It gripes my ass when people complain about something that is free.

There's probably a genetic link to drop bears if you go back far enough. Land bridges, don't you know .

You know, those drop bears are going to escape Oz and find a home in Canada, and then there will be the carniverous moose vs. drop bear Armageddon.

Oh well. It's gonna be ta-ta sometime. Why not then?

Yukon will save us. He has a high porch. Have faith .

Deer will eat meat, so I wouldn't be surprised if moose indulge occasionally: https://slate.com/technology/2012/1...nd-carnivores-are-not-so-clearly-divided.html

Sheep too, IIRC

They tried to keep it all under wraps, the weapons depot kept secret since long in the past. Had the explosion not blown, there might be a chance, but now for the world the die it is cast. The slow moving chaos is spreading too fast, extirpating all normalcy— serenity has lapsed

Word it spread by dog sled and foot — everyone's cry; Find Yukon! Yukon the Good

While all that is holy is being cut loose — harmless creatures eaten by mutated moose — and even small children snatched up by a goose! As mother's wail, and pull out their hair — Yukon himself has nary a care — his face it is buried deep in a daze — Yukon is lost in the folds 'tween her legs — soft folds they have captured the one who could save — all Yukon hears, the piano below his tune they do play — that and the moans, the groans and the praise, as his dear Lady Lou spreads wide her legs.

As the world goes up in a nuclear typhoon, all seems quite normal up north — just another day for Yukon and Lou and The Driftwood Saloon,

I'm both sorry and ashamed — my love of Lou and her sweet perfume as doomed to death the rest of you. I'll remember with tears, comrades held dear and each year that comes a tear I will lay. Farewell dear souls wherever you go — may the whiskey be cheap and ladies real sweet. For all that survive I'll hold you a seat, the drinks on me, come take a seat — the fire's a crackling the piano plays, at The Driftwood Saloon, all is still just great!

I think Brother Yukon has cabin fever. The man's delirious .

The nights in Alaska are long this time of year. Sometimes the spirits flow more freely than they should.

Hah, time will tell. The last I heard the moose have all fled — they're all swimming south — Australia, they said Da men of da north, too brawny and brave, the moose have gone looking for easier prey

Well, while this right here does have some truth … it seems unclear if the intentions are true . My head is a pounding, my mouth all dried out … I can't quite figger just how to parse out … if you's words they're meant to honor and praise, or did you intend to sully and shame …
