| Re: Discussion -- 75 Word Challenge -- May Out of 60 contributions for a short tale - which genre I like very much - I can take 10% out for one *, 10% for two **, one for *** - besides the Winner, who takes it all J I don’t regard myself as a true representative for the majority of your readers, hence not in the most of you authors’ target group – so pls. relax, and remember : Everything is Relative J My only power in this procedure is to bestow stars on those I like for the mastering of the Method of Pointillism, for the logic, and/or the fun J * : Abernovo, , Aleubierre Warp, StarBeast, Chrispencaty, Perpetual Man, Boneman. ** : Bowler1, Gary Compton, Tactical Logo, Hopewriter, Dusty Zebra, Edgerton. *** : Moonbat. Winner : MemoryTale.  One could wonder why it’s allowed only to cast ONE vote, when in the 300 word contest it’s allowed to cast THREE – should there be any rationale behind this ?? |

| this is where you belong  | Re: Discussion -- 75 Word Challenge -- May I enjoyed those stories, thanks all. There seem to be quite a few stories where one colour is just not good enough, my own included: perhaps colours should never be alone. My favouriites were: Luiglin - computers! Hex - hurrah! TacticalLoco - im-prismed! Ursa major - cloudbase! I think my vote has to go to Hex. It seemed the most sci-fantasy-like to me. Great fun. Thanks High Eight for the vote! And thanks to all who mentioned my hideously dry alternate world. |

| Re: Discussion -- 75 Word Challenge -- May Thank you, Anivid for the ** mention, it's more than I was expecting as I missed the brief this month. Must learn to wait and watch, polish and edit, just like the old hands do! |

| Luna tick  | Re: Discussion -- 75 Word Challenge -- May first off all thanks for the mentions, especially to Anivid as I got *** which I think put in a close second - Damn that memory tale  Her is my short list, shorter list and vote Luiglin springs Reiver33 Gary Compton Glitch Choccoweeble southron sword Glen DEO R J Dando grizzgreen711 Alcuberrie warp HB Brev Paranoid Marvin The dusty zebra Mosaix Memory tale Boneman The SpurringPlatty Looks like Platty is running away with it, and I'm amazed that only 1 other entrant has more than 2 votes, it is a wide spread in this month's field. |

| Dramatically tremendous  | Re: Discussion -- 75 Word Challenge -- May Perp, Starbeast and Moonbat, thankyou for the mentions. Really interesting month for votes, looks like the difficult choice was across the board, the standard was so high, but go go TSP, intersteallar relationships ahoy! |

| Re: Discussion -- 75 Word Challenge -- May I don't have time to run down my entire shortlist, but it came down to: For Display Purposes Only -- The Spurring Platty and Detective Roy G Biv vs the Rainbow Gang -- TacticalLoco Both were brilliant stories, whose final line emitted a vocal response. What swung it was that TacticalLoco's made me groan with pun related pain, whilst TSPs provoked a belly laugh, so congrats TSP you have another vote  Many thanks for the short lists, and was chuffed to bits to actually get a vote. Thanks Anivid  ...Must go before the beast of bottle-me more awakens. |
