I can see the image. I logged out and looked at it again without my moderator powers, and it was still there.

Re: Discussion -- 300 Word Challenge #4

If Ursa is referring to post number 9 in this thread then the answer is none.

Re: Discussion -- 300 Word Challenge #4

Nevermind. The image some of you can't see is merely the one in the challenge thread minus the black bars to either side.

Unless.... Just bear with me:

Re: Discussion -- 300 Word Challenge #4

That was all my fault: the image to which the above one is linked is in a post in the Technology section. Trouble was, I hadn't got round to saving it....

Re: Discussion -- 300 Word Challenge #4

This picture has an interesting premise, but whether or not I'll be able to come up with something will depend on my mood. I haven't been feeling well lately, and this time it's a true mystery to me why.

This image took me by surprise, however it's up to our imaginations what we come up with. I like Hex's "princess tower" idea.

Re: Discussion -- 300 Word Challenge #4

Out of curiosity, do the days before being able to post entries always tend to drag?

Yes, but you can work on your tale to past the time. Inspiration hit me two days ago, now I'm ready to post on the 10th.

Not if you have no ideas yet -- then they fly by impressively! (Gah! it's only two days till the 10th? How did that happen?) Or perhaps that's just a side effect of old age.

Don't sweat it. I posted a tale in the 75 Word Challenge too early. Because NOW I have a better idea then what I submitted. Ah well, I'll save it for February (if it fits the theme).

Just relax Zebra, it will come to you. You've pumped out good tales in the past challenges.

Re: Discussion -- 300 Word Challenge #4

Way too good, as I recall TDZ;

AMB; I'm like you I come up with an idea early and don't do too much with it. then, I post, and like Starbeast I come up with lots of what if's... but I never know if they'd be better. So, yep, ready to post, if only to stop myself second guessing myself.

Yeah, a great idea popped into my mind on this lazy Sunday, but it's too late for me. However, I'm satisfied with what I created for the 300 Challenge, I just tweeked it this morning.

Say The DustyZebra, you could look for an avatar while flexing your brain muscle. Just a thought.
