Ah, cheers. I was a writing teacher and editor for while. Haven't figured out the word count thingie yet but other than that I could probably come up ...
Yeah, fuck that guy. I didn't read all the story above because it was shit but I totally agree with you that whoever wrote that illogical Christmas-th...
Wow, some really in-depth commentary already. Won't pretend I'm going to add to that. I think the author is a lover of literature and has read a lot. ...
I liked it. Very thought provoking and well-written on the whole. Would make a good "Black mirror" episode. My only criticism would be to agree that i...

We could have a short story "experience" rather than "competition" the next time round and limit it to comments rather than votes if ppl want that. I'...
Yes, exactly, a fun farce. :100: Was thinking maybe there's a cultural element at play here. Nothing is going to make me care much about the results o...
If you're taking the poll seriously, you're doing this to yourself. To me, it's just a fun addendum. Whether I "win" or get no votes isn't going to bo...
Don't much like these cliched happy endings either. Twat annoys everyone then gets eaten by goats and pigs. Been done a million times. Prefer mine a l...
