You've got till the end of the month.

Possibly.

I thought so too until I saw his comment about it: That would be oddly narcissistic behaviour, even for him.

:up:

Different style and stuff.

That "A good-bye buzz" is by Benkei? I'm not certain who wrote it but I'm certain it's not Benkei.

Can't wait to read that. In that case, "A good-bye buzz" is Vera Mont or Noble Dust.

I'll guess one of the new people. "Wake up, newborns!" by Benj96, just because it's set in a hospital.

My mind is different. Better? Not for me to say.

Disagree. The second sentence is free to refer either to the strands (plural) or the hair (singular).

No way.

Hanover: "Sundae, Bloody Sundae" and "The Last Transport", maybe.

A good-bye buzz, I reckon.

Unfortunately one of the authors has been banned.

Okay I’ve added a link to the category to your OP.

Once again, every cloud…

It’s pretty easy to learn the International Phonetic Alphabet, but the way Frank says it is fine with me.

I don’t wear them so I never use the word. If I did I’d say /p??d???.m?z/.

I know it’s Saturday but there’s no need to go crazy.

Good plan.

Every cloud has a silver lining.

This is now the officially approved way to access TPF, at least in colder climates. :up:

In case it's not clear to anyone, here is the link to the category on desktop: /uploads/resized/files/0u/cvma3p4u4c36c7hy.jpg And here it is on mobile...

They have their own category, so I don't see the problem. The only change I can imagine helping is for a link to the category to be included in the pi...

I don't know if it was written about in a novel. Do you still have your poem?

Following that where it leads, it looks like this story is an allegory for the Russian Revolution, for both the 1905 and the 1917 revolutions combined...

Thank you for your precise and excellent system monitoring.

It seems there was an outage at the datacentre used by PlushForums for our site. I'm not sure how long TPF was down because I was asleep. Maybe a coup...

Your response is satisfactory to me.

That's what I said. Sometimes it feels like you don’t read all of my posts.

I’ve had duck and chicken hearts. Very popular in the Southwest of France, where I used to live. Very tasty. Sounds like classic peasant food. Good st...

I’m intrigued by your Dominican deli experience. That’s a cuisine I don’t expect to be able to try any time soon.

I love it, yes. And kidneys, hearts, and … actually I draw the line at intestines, brains, pancreases and lungs. Although come to think of it I love h...

Me too, but more so in the long short story competition. I was impatient and sent mine in before I'd perfected them, a terrible decision that will go ...

Why do people make such a fuss about this every time? Seems to me it's going well. Although I've been reading and commenting, I haven't voted. I've on...

Fly. Unfortunately I initially thought it was, somehow, a bullet. I blame the guns and violence that plague many of the stories; I guess I was expecti...

Ah, a tragicomic character. It works. I like it.

Embarrassment comes only when inhibition returns.

The main reason for the change is just so that authors who submitted their stories early can be revealed and respond to feedback.

Pnin by Vladimir Nabokov, which I just finished, is stunningly good. Now... /uploads/resized/files/a3/elhn21orbvzlq8yn.jpg

Brilliant.

:cry: But I will submit to the rules.
