Amity

Thank you for starting this thread. For me, I think it is time to read and reflect again. I note that there is a new edition. Downloadable with photog...

:smile: I appreciate your kind and supportive words. Sometimes, I wonder if I go too far and become too involved. However, as long as I enjoy the shar...

Oh, sorry, my intention is not to criticise you. You did very well in providing a responsible and thoughtful way of considering the difference between...

So, the centrality of Esmerelda's mesmerising eyes, the portals, in 'The Woman in the Portrait'. Part of a flashback/dream; nested images of Lily: An ...

I read your story again, keeping your explanation in mind. It makes more sense to me. But somehow, I think with a story like this...well, some things ...

Yes. I remember the story discussion, ending: And so, I held my breath for a whole year. Waiting to unwrap the special gifts of Hanover. What fun! You...

Ah, OK. I am so not 'with it' that I had to look up 'SNL'! Saturday Night Live. I've heard of it. Apparently, been around for 50yrs in the US. There y...

Hello, Uriah, With reference to this: I'm delighted by your swift response. Thank you. For your writing and style charmant. Writing a novel is one of ...

:smile: There were a few fun double-entendres but different kinds of humour are sprinkled throughout this story of the absurd. See my comments: https:...

A bit harsh on yourself! Care to say more about your story and the rest of the feedback? Please. :pray:

@"ucarr" - I hope all is well with you. I wonder at your silence. No feedback? It's not like you. :chin: Anything to say about your story. How it came...

@"Hanover" - Hey, man, ain't ya got nuthin' more to say?! Gimme some luvin', babe :love:

Wow. That was a lot more than I expected. Thank you. I'll take time later to re-read and reflect. :sparkle:

I appreciate the time and energy it takes to reply in detail to all feedback. Your story is made more compelling with autobiographical elements. As ot...

Thanks for the detailed and informative feedback to all. Appreciate the time and energy it takes. A worthwhile endeavour. :sparkle:

Thank you for all your feedback. Re lack of time for detailed responses, you do know that we have all the time in the world! But sometimes, a few word...

Thank you for explaining more about your wonderful story. I respect your openness and showing in your own voice, some autobiographical elements. It ma...

We have all the time in the world - as someone once sang. :cool:

Thank you. This talk show held my attention and interest more than the first. Both original works of art. Your stories always hold a deeper meaning. T...

@"Noble Dust" - your careful and considered response to all feedback is much appreciated. Thank you. Especially this: It is so intriguing to hear abou...

From @"ToothyMaw" - the 'Favourites' thread: Amity: Good to hear from you! If you have time or the inclination, I am sure your readers would be intere...

Great to hear from you! If you have time or the inclination, I would be interested to hear a little more about this in your story discussion. It held/...

Pleased to meet you, Sherlock Holmes! :nerd: I don't think anyone's written a murder mystery, yet, have they? Detective fiction. Hmm... I really don't...

Perhaps you have experienced similar? Or, at least, you could imagine the scene. Thank you :up:

I think it was Amity's dozy daftness. Association: an alien, sterile environment with the scary, mechanical voice from Dr. Who. And the smiling, "Trus...

How can you tell the degree to which authors rely on AI to improve or re-write? It seems to me that it doesn't take much to pass any detection. :chin:...

Hrm. Imaginative scenario. In a future world, there may be no need for such risky transplants! And robots will replace health professionals...almost t...

Yes. Greta received her transplant on Dec 25th and died on Feb 14th. Recipients can die at any time, for whatever reason. C'est la vie, malheureusemen...

The lyrics are explained elsewhere but I think they can be left open to interpretation. Whatever gets you through the night. :smile: https://m.youtube...

Fantastico! :cool:

You do you, Vera! The topic is of your own choice. Looking forward. :smile:

I returned to the post and see that I didn't adequately separate you two. Sorted now with the 3 star treatment! *** :up: :sparkle: But it seems I mess...

Yes. A typical discussion thread involves the author right from the get go. This can affect the responses. The author also has to maintain the thread,...

@"Moliere" Reflecting further on this: I think it is best not to complicate matters in the Guidelines. Voting just prolongs the agony! Having an Open ...

Thanks for showing an interest. :smile: So far, the Guidelines will be posted by @"Moliere" on Feb1st. This will include the deadline for submissions ...

Yes.

Ah, OK. And an option 3 for those who don't care either way?!

Yay! :cool:

Yes, I did. However, it's important that the authors get time to respond. The 15th, then.

So, the author list would go up on the 15th. When revealed, the authors can take part. Responding to feedback on their individual threads.

Good question. The formal Lit Activity is unstickied about a month after the start. However, the stories are left open for comment... Perhaps the last...

No. Not at the same time. It distracts from reading the entries. In the Lit. Activity, guessing started about 17dys after the start. That was the Gold...

It's an idea but not sure how it would work. Would it be anonymous? If authors are identified, then that might give the game away. I think we should s...

:smile: More of the lyrics: I'm fixing a hole where the rain gets in And stops my mind from wondering Where it will go I'm filling the cracks that ran...

Oh, sorry, that was intended for @"Paine". And to clarify, the sentence was from: https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/comment/945718 However, yo...

How do you know he didn't? :wink: Let's guess how long it took him. Hmm. About a month...or so? :chin: How long did everyone take on their story? For ...

Good to see you again! I don't know if you've read any of the stories. You might be interested to know that one of your sentences acted as inspiration...

:lol: Piercing sans anaesthesia. Oucha!

:smile: Thank you for the clarification. And all your effort. This has been a learning experience. :cool:

Nobody here is obsessive about such ambiguous concepts or notions. Nobody is obsessed with the idea of a rewrite or improvement as something bad. Yes,...
