Re: Discussion - February 2011 - 75 Word Challenge

Some good ones this month; and some I have to read through.


Actually, I'll be doing that tomorrow and in March see if I'm able to give a hand at reviews. Just one or two to start off with, mind, for accuracy's sake, and not my own. Haha.

Re: Discussion - February 2011 - 75 Word Challenge

Thanks, Perp -- you have a definite knack for these little summaries. If there was an opening for a professional reviewer of 75-word stories, I'd recommend you like a shot!

What HB said Thank you very much for such a kind review Perp; sometimes I orient myself to our stories informed by what you have written or alternatively, I like to read what your take on a story is after I've read them.

Re: Discussion - February 2011 - 75 Word Challenge

I want to say thank you, crystal, too. I've hardly been paying attention or posting, so I missed your list of favorites, but I do appreciate being on it.

My mind has been off on its own somewhere, not very much in touch with the rest of the world.

We have one, but I can't seem to find it at the moment. Anyone?

Re: Discussion - February 2011 - 75 Word Challenge

Hey – 52 entries already, and we haven't yet had (consults list):-Culhwch, TheDustyZebra, or The Judge from the ultra reliables (several of whom have frequently waited until the last minute to indulge) and :- Anne Martin, Bob S. Sr, Grizzgreen711, RSliwinski,or TheTomG, from the recently reliables, or any number of occasionals or potentials. This has the potential of breaking the 58 all time maximum, even if a number of long-term staples such as the Mouse or the End is Nigh seem to have opted out.

Re: Discussion - February 2011 - 75 Word Challenge

Never fear, I'll think of something ... eventually.

I had an idea that hasn't panned out so far. I've been so busy, I haven't given it a great deal of thought, other than "eeek it's getting late!"

RSliwinski may be working on something, but I believe Bob had some kind of eye surgery and might not make it this month. No typing with the eyes closed, I guess.

Did I post an entry when I wasn't looking?


(I'm not saying I didn't, but I'm pretty sure I haven't.)
