Sorry I made work for you, but the resulting text is far easier to read.

Separated sentences. Normally I hate using all caps but this needed it. Thanks for the clarification. Smart phones are great but not for typing large chunks of text.

Re: Discussion -- 75 Word Challenge -- May

This one is going to require some thought. Neither color nor science fantasy is my strong suit.

Re: Discussion -- 75 Word Challenge -- May

It's going to be tough this month, determining where things fall within (or without) the genre. I read that link, but I don't know any more than I did before!

I'm going to try not to study it till the last second, though.

As long as you don't paint yourself into an eleven-dimensional corner**, Karn, I'm sure you'll be okay.

Oh Jeebus. Colour? I thought I'd stumbled into the photography thread.

But at least no-one will be finding the subject unpaletteable....

I'm sorry, Hex, I didn't mean to make you sad. Or you, Aber. But thanks for the lovely comments....

Ach, they'll be fine.

But, yes, excellent job there springs.

I haven't got my head round this genre either. Generally, I only see the term Science Fantasy used as an insult, as in "It's not science fiction, it's science fantasy - a laser of that frequency would never penetrate a Titanium/Vanadium alloy." So, thinking ahoy!
