Yeah, reckon it is. Coming up...

:pray: Yes, there is definitely that knock-on-the-door-to-the-old-mansion B&W horror movie vibe there. I'm not 100% sure I had that consciously in min...

Eh, no pressure, like. /uploads/resized/files/1f/13ze7ows8qysjgau.jpeg

Thanks, Paul. As mentioned above, I agree that the story seems truncated, This was a feature of a lot of my early writing. I was in a hurry to have so...

Appreciate your kind words. :smile:

Correct.

Anyway, @"Noble Dust", well done, you got me bang to rights, mate. :up:

I know the feeling, the me that wrote my story may have been an impostor returned from the past to fuck with my present. :scream:

The author's get to out themselves when they want. :smile: Being honest, I thought (some) authors could be identified fairly easily on a geographical ...

:zip: :zip:

If I had to pick the three I was most impressed with, it would be Visitations, Plum Pie, and Felice, and I voted for one of those. I considered not vo...

Stay strong, Tiff. :heart:

:clap: :clap: :lol:

Jacob Rees Snobb just called the Scots Tory leader a "lightweight". Wen Dethmatch?? :lol:

You mean my brain, yeah. :grimace: :lol: Live and learn, still looking for volunteers to do the stuff I don't want to do vetting next time.

Agree, and that's no offence to the author of The Ballad who entered as a lighthearted joke. I think it may partly have to do with my request that eve...

Was cool to see the originator of the whole idea show up. :cool:

Sorry, I fell asleep roughly the second I closed the poll. :smile:

The authors to be guessed are: @"Tobias", @"Hanover", @"god must be atheist", @"jamalrob", @"Michael", @"Noble Dust", @"Paul", @"180 Proof", @"_db", @...

I'll post an author list soon but you guys are doing great with the guessing so far. :up:

Closing the poll in 25 minutes. This means the discussion needs to be closed. Please continue comments in the Shoutbox, thanks. JAMALROB’S NOTE: conti...

No, but I heard several similar stories. What's worse than Boris though are the Tories who defend him. Utterly cynical. It's got to the stage now wher...

Oh, if you've read the stories and want to vote for a favourite, please do so before 12am UTC tonight when voting ends. If you haven't or don't, that'...

Best I can do.

So, Boris, as I was saying, you're screwed.

The new short story category isn't showing up on the browser where I'm logged in, but is on the one I'm not. If anyone else can't see it, try logging ...

I'll pass that baton onto @"180 Proof". I have at times written quite a bit though. Not at all. /uploads/resized/files/b4/uayxhewthjlu27fn.jpeg

Sucker. :lol:

I think we could do something along those lines. Just need to drum up a bit more community support for it.

Sorry, I'm already booked in for "I'm an Obscenity, Get Me Out of Here!" We could actually do that, have a short story section were anyone can post an...

Looks like it will be less "competitive" the next time the way the votes are done? Or not? Don't see how we can disregard deadlines though; how would ...

@"Amity" Ah, thanks for letting folks know here. @"unenlightened" Let us have our fun you grumpy bastard. :razz:

It's getting a bit late. I guess, at the risk of not pleasing everyone, I'll extend voting for three more days, so Wednesday 12AM UTC = new deadline. ...

:cool: :up:

If someone (or more than one) volunteer, who's not a mod, can vet the stories next time *hint, hint* and we change the poll system, we should be able ...

Here's ok, we're pinned anyhow.

No, y'all are going to guess and they'll reveal themselves. :nerd:

Another brilliant triumph of organization. I mentioned it a few times in the thread but should have put it in there. I'll wait until I know what we're...

As long as the US and the Saudi Royal mafia remain best buds, I guess.

See>> @"180 Proof" Fail again, fail better! :party:

Honestly, the way things are set up, it really is difficult to figure out what to vote for and I'm not sure an extension will help much. Added to that...

Print money>>buy oil>>magic energy tree! But how to make sure the plebs don't get their fair share? = American politics in a nutshell.

The poll closes at 12AM UTC tonight. That's during the day/evening, American time. As of this post, in 7 and a half hours.

Sure, we can do it that way the next time. I'd also like someone else to vet the stories and I'll just concentrate on the mechanical stuff that only m...

I have everything he wrote, including those. :smile: Should dive in I guess.

Beckett's plays are unrivalled but haven't got into the books yet apart from a few dabblings. I find his style much more alive in the former format bu...

A fun christmas romp with a philosophical core. I think I preferred the comedy to the philosophy, the mayor being my favourite character, but we are i...

Or Tucker Carlson will. Poor Ted...

He did give Ulysses the thumbs up. Ashamed to say I didn't make it all the way through (yet) but it's a much easier read in that I could actually read...
