This was a bit of a stretch for my credulity too tbh. Feel like I need a bit more convincing at least. And I'm sure there are ways to do that without ...

Nice. I've read one or two magnificent haikus in my time but I'm not really sensitised enough to the form to comment on anything but the blindingly ob...

Not sure what happened there. I've enjoyed your comments though, so if there were a poll on comments. ... Wait, can we put polls on our comments? @"Ja...

I said that I enjoyed it not that I understood it :wink: . I'd have to read it over to get a proper grasp of the plot. But it's proper writing in my e...

:razz:

Very nicely written. The galloping carefree rhythm and weird fairytale allusions remind me of Coover. Also, how could I say no to a burst piss bag. :p...

Well-written slice of life. It doesn't have a strong narrative but it has a consistent and somewhat enchanting mood. I enjoyed it. It needs a bit of p...

I don't think I've ever written a poem about sex, but anyhow I can't confirm or deny your charge until author reveal time.

You don't have any. Maybe they were deleted by mods. If you haven't posted recently, there's not much we can do, unfortunately.

As per edited OP: POLLS CLOSE ON 20th AUG at 1800 UTC.

:wink:

Seconded.

Very nicely done. Deceptively simple in use of language but effective. Enjoyed.

Nice poem. Probably about flowers or some such.

If anyone is on mobile, remember you can find everything through the ''Categories'' option on the upper right menu.

Appreciate you getting involved so quickly. Look forward to your thoughts on the stories.

Good showing, I have to say. :cheer:

Thanks my fellow organizers and contributors. Y'all can start voting and commenting! :cool:

Three hours...

I'll bet you could get a 500+ worder in. Here's your prompt: pineapples, gin, leather pants. Get on it! :fire: :halo:

In terms of intelligibility yes, but it doesn't read like Joyce at all really (not that I don't like the bumblebee bit).

31 hours to lift off. You still have time, procrastinators.

There won't be a notification on the front page of the site for every comment is all. Edited above.

:party:

Setting up the poetry and short story sub-categories now. They will be beginning to be filled after the deadline passes. Please allow a little time fo...

One day to deadline! :fire: :strong:

5th at 12 midnight UTC.

:chin:

Yes! :cheer: :party: SHOW ME THE MONEY, JAMAL! :strong: :fire: Oh, there is none... Never mind then.

Why @"Amity" justly received so much kudos for her efforts at critique whereas no one was asking who clicked the most "I like it" or "it's OK" buttons...

:up:

Sorry to hear that, bruv.

Thanks, done. @"180 Proof" has given his thumbs up to @"Amity"'s original suggestion and there's no need to change that further. Our volunteers don't ...

:up:

Probably overthinking this.

See... easy.

I took some time to respond as when dealing with genius one ought to choose one's words carefully. My considered opinion is that when we speak of "ali...

Well, lets at least give him a chance to respond. If there is more concern about it, I'm sure there will be further queries here, and we can take it f...

At this late stage a group negotiation involving 180, you and the rest of the team on polling seems impractical compared to letting him listen and res...

Things were different this time because of the potential Chomsky event. And we have granted an extension. The polling I'll leave to @"180 Proof".

:100:

Yes, 12 midnight UTC Aug 5th.

Five-day extension granted. :up:

I think I just did the best saying.

I want to believe there are aliens so Trump will never have been the most powerful person and/or alien in the universe and/or in the future will not h...

Cool. I don't do YouTubes so I'll have to look that up later on wiki or something to reassess my skept levels.

Ok, so does anyone else need an extension?

For balance, I very much agree with:

OK, fair enough.

Five days to deadline, folks. Looking forward to seeing what you've come up with.
