Boneman, I almost choked on my tea due to laughing. Brilliant. Marvin, you just wrote the perfect ghost poem.

I've enjoyed everything that's gone up so far and it's not even the end of the third day. We've even had an entry from someone who only joined today and it's a solid tale.

-Hope you're okay, Perp.

[Boneman]

Thanks Abernovo. Hope you don't get indigestion...

Someone said about the standard going up, and I know it is, because it gets harder every month!

Perp, can I add my good wishes? And if you're not up to doing the synopses, just say the word, and someone else will do them... Won't be anywhere near as good as yours, but you deserve a month or two off, if you need it.


Yeah, Marvin, I blame you - I've got 'Ghostriders in the sky' stuck in my head now!!

[paranoid marvin]

Thanks for the kind words guys, judging by the entries so far , this is going to be a great month.

Haha, someone pass the beans!

[Abernovo]

Haha. Not that kind of tea, Boneman. Chai, cha, a cuppa - my addiction of choice.

Just written my first attempt and thought it was a good starting point till I realised there was nothing weird about it....

sorry to hear your not your usual self.

As this is a board for sci-fi/fantasy maybe the lack of weird is weird

[hopewrites]

I have an idea, Just no idea how to get it into any words 75 not withstanding. If I can pull it off I'll enter, if not count on me for voting.


ps the idea is not the one I put up in my blog. that one was a just trial run of spewing words at my computer, that was too good not to share.

[TheDustyZebra]

Boneman, that is truly awful!

[hopewrites]

Anya, somehow I get the impression (maybe from the pink?) that the lice band is playing in a lice saloon. And there are dancing girls and maybe even someone swinging from his cowlick.
HareBrain, I cant get those unblinking eyes out of my head, fantastic
Hex, Perfect last line!! How many times do the superstitious get it wrong? (ps beautiful imagery on the setting)
Aun, Interesting exchange and nice flow of conversation.
Aaron, a forceful narrative, nicely done.
Paranoid Marvin, my heart raced, imagination chased!
such thrilling scenes and gruesome screams…
description of test put to rest
all dire dread that filled my head
in rhymed reply, I can not lie
my heart stood still, reading with thrill. (thank you)
Boneman, you broke my dyslexic brain and I loved it!! I hope I wasn’t the only one reading every sentence twice to be sure I was getting the story straight, only to laugh my head off at the last line. Thank you so very much for a brilliant piece of writing, or should I say peace of writing?

[Karn Maeshalanadae]

To be honest, I've not really been in the mood for anything lately, the last few weeks....

I don't know why, but this month I'm just truly not feeling any inspiration to go through with it. And not just because of genre or theme, either; I just seem to have no desire. I should probably blame my diet over the holidays, partly; a bunch of potato chips and high fat meats without any of my usual fiber just doesn't do right by me.

[TacticalLoco]

Didn't anyone here watch FireFly?

[Karn Maeshalanadae]

Actually, no, I've never watched it.

[Perpetual Man]

I have watched (and loved) Firefly, and it surprises me that none of my ideas seem to have come from that direction... yet.

Two of the three seem very dark though, so I'm a thinkin' of given' them a little ol' miss.

That is high praise, thank you! Weirdly awful, or awfully weird?

Karn, you should be bound up with ideas...

[Hex]

Thank you for the review, Hope.

(Hope you're both okay, Perp and Karn).

And, Cul -- amazing story. I loved it.
