Okay, but if you turn into a crispy critter, we're all gonna laugh. (Then we'll cry.)

I'm sorry, what was that? That last bolt knocked my hearing out for a minute.

I've never seen the water boil in a birdbath before.

Bwahahahaha Those metal bird baths are dangerous.

 

[Elianna]

I'll give it a shot. I've never written something so small from beginning to end before... should be an interesting challenge.

You got that right. That one wasn't verdigris before, but it is now. And that pigeon looks to be about medium rare.

(Homer voice) Mmmmm....squab.

Good thing my cat isn't there. He'd bring it in to "provide" for me.

Woo hoo! A lion stuffed toy.

Yeah, include me in... but no puppies, either. I write to word limits every day, but that's not fiction. It'll do me good to do the Archie Bell and the Drells and "tighten up."

A pigeon cutlet with a little mayo and lettuce on rye makes a tasty sandwich.

I guess that wasn't your cat that just absconded with my pigeon then. Well, I guess it's PBJ for lunch.

Yeah, but it's gotta be good. Possible, doesn't mean good.

Le bump.

Is there only a handful of authors in here?

 

[ms.read]

i don't know if i posted on this thread before but I deffinitely want to do it.

i don't know if i posted on this thread before but I deffinitely want to do it.

and what about writing a story. Do you want to do that too?

 

[DeeZire]

Speaking seriously for a moment, I think a two week window would be worth considering. That way, the people who get busy with their real lives won't miss out. Or perhaps bi-monthly, so that we not only include busy people, but we also attract the bi crowd.

A side note - how about a flushfic category? But what would it be? Stories that take place in the bathroom? Or stories about metapausal women, or stories of card playing? Regardless of what it is, I think it's a travesty that flushfic has been ignored for so long.

I'm in, I have a hankerin' for cookies. You wanna play Bingo?

Mebbe. It scares me a little.

Need a good night's sleep to even get what I'm supposed to do.

 

[Stella_Omega]

Well, when you do start the challenge, you'll notice a brand-spanking-new subforum to put it in!

 

[Liar]

Ah, that be spiffy! Your doing, I presume?

 

[IrezumiKiss]

I'm in. I need to cut my writing teeth on this site and I like flash fiction.

When's the deadline? Or have any of the competition parameters been set in stone as of yet?

Nah. I'll get the bonanza rolling tomorrow or thursday, depending on Real Life stuffs. First order will be agreeing on rules.

I got so much juice these days...

 

[jomar]

Put me down for a definite maybe. Yep.
