I'm still reading and commenting too. There are a lot but overall a very high standard, which helps.

Alright by me. :up:

Obvious authors (of those whose stories went to ND) are hypericin, of ''Homeward'', and jamal, of ''Dispatch...'' If reality disagrees with me, it's w...

Exactly. "Idiots" are the worst. Only an idiot would admit being one.

Wonderfully written. E.g. Such a subtle touch here. For pure skill and craftsmanship, this is the best I've read. As an attempt at critique, I felt th...

@"Noble Dust" @"Amity" I don't think we specified when the favourites thread would go up. But my current thinking is the 31st. And a few days after to...

I guess after the favourites thread has gone up and readers have had time to post on that. But I'll bring this up in the main discussion in a moment.

This is a beautiful story that I found very affecting. It has character and salience and strength and the disjointed dream-type narrative adds to it. ...

:cool:

You're not supposed to tell us that or even ask that question, but just politely omit your own story in your favourites. Not being aware of that, you ...

I loved how this began. There's something so personal about the writing. I really felt like the writer felt something writing it and so then did I. Ve...

But thanks. :smile:

Not as good as this though! >>>

I agree. But I'm an awful promoter of anything but my own absurdities. I even hate putting exclamation marks at the end of sentences unless there's ir...

I honestly prefer reading authentic attempts at English, once the meaning is comprehensible, than sanitized machine-edited versions. And they offer mo...

I fully endorse this comment. I found it hard to follow, but because it's so well-written, I have no problem going back to read it again and may comme...

The incident that initiates the narrative has potential, but I think the story could have been developed more to get the reader more interested in the...

Thumping good story. Waded through the beginning with a little scepticism, but the fast-moving plot and the skilful use of imagery soon put the wind i...

I considered this theory too, but... ...this also makes sense to me as the first idea just seems too obvious.

It's up. :smile: https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/15657/authorial-speculation

:up: Thanks. :up:

No. Yes.

I looked it up for you: https://metro.co.uk/2018/01/24/award-called-gong-7255802/

Great turnout. :clap:

*Ahem* Authors, your stories are going up. Please give them a check to make sure they are formatted as you intended and send a PM if there are any iss...

Sorry, thanks to all of you who know what time and date it is.

Thank you. :smile:

I got six. Thank you to all who participated. :pray: Stories will be posted soon.

Aw, shucks. :smile:

I appreciate you. :pray:

Thank you for your help in explaining things, @"Jamal". My way of putting it would be that any way you can link us to a text file that we can copy-pas...

:up:

"likely definitely more still to be submitted." *Slightly eerie knowing smile* I'm cheering for you on this one. :pray: :cool:

I got four. Disqualified for not being fiction. We'll make a separate contest just for you. No need to submit. You already won. Congratulations!

Scout's honour, Ma'am. :victory:

Well, was sick today because I drank too much last night. I appreciate your misguided faith in me though.

Still running about in hotels at the moment. Procrastinating about where to live. My life is chaos. The situation is excellent?

Let your hair down. Don't worry about it. :smile: Sorry, moving house at the moment and trying to limit internet. I will try to do better for you guys...

Thank you. I've updated the rules. If the piece was previously available online, it shouldn't be submitted. I see the grey area and I don't think we c...

No. It should be something unpublished.

A worthy topic indeed. :up:

Support appreciated, amigos. :pray:

Additional rule:

No worries. It's an interesting initiative. :up:

Basically, there are a bunch of options to just ignore. All the author needs is the link to send us, which requires nothing more than pasting in the b...

:cool:

If no shortcode, submissions by PM. If shortcode is necessary then via pastebin. Some have commented that pastebin is complicated to use. But it's not...

OK, I see.

(Maybe my determination is coloured by the fact that I've been signed in for 99.9% of the time since the beginning of TPF. But even for those who regu...
