Yup! Moi aussi :cool: Putting the kettle on. What's your poison? :smile:
December 26, 2024 at 03:28
I agree. More could be done to promote this Activity. 1. Start a philosophy discussion on the main page. Stories: What are they good for? - Absolutely...

What might be useful: 1. Guidelines on how to give and receive feedback. 2. The writer being able to have a dialogue with the feedback, before the fin...

I look forward to that! Cuídate, amigo. :sparkle: :flower:
December 25, 2024 at 10:26
Ain't that the truth! I hope @"javi2541997" is now reflecting on the positive and interesting feedback to his story. Even if it must have been painful...

Good to see you, 180! :smile: Sorry to see you were unable to submit a story this time. This must be a first! I hope you feel better soon. Take care. ...
December 23, 2024 at 08:22
Not everyone. This one proved to be a challenge for me, after reading and commenting on the majority of the stories. I usually take time and patience ...
December 23, 2024 at 07:55
Yes. I like your idea of meditating over the meaning. Stone and paper. Brings to mind the hand game - rock, paper, scissors. Perhaps, scissors represe...
December 22, 2024 at 20:59
Thanks for clarification. I think everyone will have their own way to reflect on what makes a story a favourite for them. And give some indication as ...
December 22, 2024 at 18:58
Yes. She has connected with Gunta's spirit and creativity from the beginning. Admiring his paper houses from afar. The final section and sentence of t...
December 22, 2024 at 18:21
Thanks! :up:
December 22, 2024 at 18:00
Yes. That makes sense. I've yet to decide how I'm going to tackle this. Time yet...
December 22, 2024 at 17:58
Why me? I asked Vera, first :wink: I still have one story to read...so, outta here. Let guessers guess....
December 22, 2024 at 16:52
:up: :smile: I agree. What categories are you intending to use?
December 22, 2024 at 16:26
Things change. I have always taken that view. Yes. But each to their own. I really don't do 'fast' anymore, if I ever did! Close, careful reading and ...
December 22, 2024 at 15:34
Good man! :up:
December 22, 2024 at 15:23
The Woman in the Portrait Questions: Who is the woman, who painted the portrait, when and why? The story starts with 6 short lines of poetry. Do they ...
December 22, 2024 at 14:58
There were bits I rolled over and didn't 'get'. Perhaps, later, after I fix my leotard...
December 22, 2024 at 12:03
Last year, didn't @"Noble Dust" present us with the list of authors?... ...Yes, he did: https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/comment/867237
December 22, 2024 at 11:12
The Unrighted Leotard Leotards are usually worn by women in dancing, gymnastics or skating. Why would one be 'unrighted'? Ill-fitting. I'm thinking of...
December 22, 2024 at 10:25
:smile: Even if not mentioned in the feedback, it is fairly obvious to me. However, I won't be entering the Guessing game, just yet. Still reading and...
December 22, 2024 at 08:24
I meant to say. I love the colonic introductions:
December 21, 2024 at 20:41
I'm glad that the author has received fruitful feedback from careful readers. Unfortunately, I have tried several times and failed to get beyond the f...
December 21, 2024 at 20:06
OK. I intend, now, to focus on reading what is left of the stories. This Activity is a joy. Best wishes to all :pray:
December 21, 2024 at 19:57
I don't think I can add anything to the feedback already given. It was an excellent read. I loved everything about it. Initially, the length put me of...
December 21, 2024 at 19:08
That's your story! I prefer green ones. They're quality. Right up my street! Yum :yum:
December 21, 2024 at 16:56
@"Tom Storm" - that was a good question to ask, after all the different responses are gathered in. And found wanting. Most interesting to read @"Darkn...
December 21, 2024 at 14:39
The Lark's side-kick is the one relaying the essential message, Shakespearian style? ‘There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dre...
December 21, 2024 at 09:27
I am still engaged by this story. Larry's dramatic strutting, sighing entrance and exit. The dialogue pinpoints his character: The Lark plays his part...
December 21, 2024 at 08:59
Ah, OK. Do you mean in the 3yr interval? This is unknown and open to imagination. My guess would be that the 2 guys separated and continued with whate...
December 21, 2024 at 08:42
I hope so too. It's often the case that I get things SO wrong, it's laughable. This help? :wink:
December 21, 2024 at 01:40
Yes. I love this light touch and sense of humour. It makes me smile :cool:
December 21, 2024 at 01:36
Thanks for the mention. I know authors appreciate hearing from different perspectives. Every time I read a story and its feedback, I see something new...
December 21, 2024 at 01:08
The Lark The first thing I thought of was the bird; a clear voice singing at dawn. A favourite with artists and poets. Lark Ascending. In fact, I'm go...
December 20, 2024 at 17:29
The author has done a fine excellent job. There is no need for further explanations. It is left to the reader to imagine and wonder. That's the mark a...

I have provided one interpretation of the quote: https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/comment/954797
December 20, 2024 at 13:33
It wasn't at all heavy handed. Its placement was just right, I didn't know about the Twilight Zone. I am pretty sure this is Connor in a dream. And th...
December 20, 2024 at 13:25
Nightscapes A nightscape, what could it be? A landscape at night. A physical or mental dark place. A nightmare. And there are more than one. Natural o...
December 20, 2024 at 12:56
I believe you are right. As ever, your close and careful reading is much appreciated. They can destroy homeless camps but the homeless are still there...
December 20, 2024 at 06:44
Yes. I read the story again to pick up pieces of the puzzle. The 2 pennies. Dropped. HG is nearing his final destination. Death = Home. The significan...
December 20, 2024 at 06:38
You guys are so full of shit! Stuck up your own joint-arse-cheeks :mask:
December 19, 2024 at 22:51
Really? :roll: It's about as funny as crackhead Dave the existentialist philosopher committing suicide-by-cop. And the homeless camp. Being, then not-...
December 19, 2024 at 22:36
I am afraid it's a habit I can't get out of. No matter how much my brain complains. Thanks for your support :sparkle:
December 19, 2024 at 19:51
I find I still have 8 stories still to read. How can that be? I feel like I've been here forever. So, perhaps, I jumped the gun a little in my enthusi...
December 19, 2024 at 19:25
Speaking from experience? :wink:
December 19, 2024 at 18:44
Yes. There is a clear sexual attraction and I'm not sure it isn't mutual. At any rate, there is a tension and a silence until he offloads his squeals....
December 19, 2024 at 18:37
Homeward Final Part Where are we? Are we home yet? Which home? What happened to HG and Fudgy? Present time. HG is being let loose from prison. He leav...

Homeward Part 4 The original home. But not so very homely. Dad, a real horror. It starts: The tension increases and this is where HG's panic attacks b...
