What would everyone think of a parallel competition? Two simultaneous competitions with the same parameters/rules except one would be micro-fiction and one would be poetry; and you could enter both (with different pieces) or just one.


Oh Oh!! I like that idea.

Ah, I'd forgotten 2014's Christmas drabble...

I was thinking more of unlinked words such as 'Bucket, eggplant, crosswords, sliced bread and Wellington boots.' Composing a story containing all of those elements would be an interesting exercise, perhaps?


Sounds like elementary school all over again.

Cough cough

A teenage girl ran with a slice of bread in her mouth because she was already late for school. With every step she made, her Wellington boots stepped into a puddle of water slowly ruining it.... Yea thats all I got lol

Oooh yeah! Can I choose Lloyd Oxton?
Oi, Lloyd, you up for a joint effort?

... Actually, you write it, I'll just add my name

I imagine it would be a two part story like one writes the beginning and the other writes the end. Muahahaha


If it ever happens....
You know what would be cool if we didnt have the choice on who we co-writer in the competition and the mods would have to pick our partner. That would so spice things up. Hehe


That would be my worst nightmare... or, more to the point, I would be the other person's worst nightmare...

I would like to see a competition along the lines of having to incorporate certain random words and phrases into the narrative. Now that's a challenge!


Nooo challanges I like things simple!! lol kidding

Patience my sweet children... Just a wee bit more patience...


I know one just past but when can we expect another one to come around?

I feel like a child when you do that. That is too funny


I shall sit in the corner and wait.

A lot of what I write is in the form of blank verse, lacking in rhyme although I stick to a strict metre. Many people do not consider blank verse to be 'proper' poetry, and it is clear that those who count on this site think that my scribblings have very little merit. It is well to have the bubble of one's self delusion punctured, but the humiliation of the realisation of one's lack of ability still hurts.


There are one or two supercilious idiots on SS who think they walk on water. They will go out of their way to patronise and belittle anybody they take a disliking to.

IGNORE THEM!

Your contributions to this site are as welcome and as interesting as anybody else's. Let nobody tell you or try to convince you of anything differently!

And, as my sig says, "those who mind don't matter"!


I definitely agree

Thanks. Much as I suspected...


Yeah, sometimes I am part of the people those people this time. Give it a month things will be flowing like it was.


Wait I didn't even notice that???? That type of stuff happens around here?

I do not understand your question.

Would you ever go outside and act like a statue just to scare the kids in your neighborhood?

My sister told me right when she joined. Truly dont regret the decision. So many awesome writers here.
