Comments

Folks are doing a good job commenting. But we'd be further along with you, as you know. Don't pretend to be modest. Again, I know you're busy, so ther...

Ah, so you think my American palate is coarse and just wants intensity. Roight.
August 10, 2023 at 05:56
Last I checked, being broke isn't doing anything for my happiness. But that is of course also my fault.
August 10, 2023 at 05:49
I must say we are, to a degree, lacking @"Amity"'s crucial reviews this time around. I know she said she's busy and has limited time, so I'm not compl...
August 10, 2023 at 05:47
No brekky? I feel like both stories and poems have gone cold. Maybe there's too many submissions total with this format. I'd actually like to see more...

Those pickled onions look amazing.
August 09, 2023 at 21:21
I approve.
August 09, 2023 at 20:48
Not everyone in the US would approve either, I’m just a vinegar fiend. I’m a garbage disposal, so your sandwich sounds good and I’d try it, but I do f...
August 09, 2023 at 20:46
At the risk of sounding stereotypically American, the idea of pickles not belonging on sandwiches is wild to me. What do you do with them otherwise?! ...
August 09, 2023 at 20:41
As we speak I’m eating a turkey sandwich topped with pickled banana peppers. Other toppings include butter lettuce, tomato, red onion, fresh yellow be...
August 09, 2023 at 20:29
Indeed.
August 09, 2023 at 20:25
I’ve never experienced ham being over powered by pickle; only pure delight.
August 09, 2023 at 20:24
Why would anyone put unpickled cucumbers on a sandwhich? And no cheese?
August 09, 2023 at 20:14
The big reveal does seem to be the crux. I actually liked it but can see why others wouldn't. It's pretty jarring, and if it really does need to be ho...
August 09, 2023 at 05:30
Well, you have a bit less than two weeks to go. This seems to be a theme; we all feel the need to comment ASAP. Not true. If you read and commented on...
August 09, 2023 at 05:24
Hmmm, this is good, but I don't know about the complete dialogue format. I was thrown by that from the beginning, and it even caused me to delay in re...
August 09, 2023 at 05:21
I dunno, I really couldn't make any sense of this one. It's just a bunch of jokes poking fun at Jesus? What am I missing? Can't it be done in way that...
August 09, 2023 at 05:14
More shall be revealed...
August 09, 2023 at 05:10
I found this one to be a good story overall in the sense that the plot information is good and makes sense overall. And I think the story is compellin...
August 09, 2023 at 05:06
Yeah, I thought this had potential. The writing is strong. It's quite slow but that's not a bad thing in my mind. But something needed to happen event...
August 09, 2023 at 04:47
How would you measure that exactly? Seems tricky.
August 08, 2023 at 17:48
The poems, however, I really have no clue about.
August 08, 2023 at 17:28
Pretty sure I know a few story authors…
August 08, 2023 at 16:48
Nice story! I voted "I enjoyed it".
August 08, 2023 at 01:02
Stop eating weird roughage and start reading the short stories.
August 07, 2023 at 19:37
Weird.
August 07, 2023 at 17:04
Woah now multiple realities of what I said are appearing. Way cool.
August 07, 2023 at 05:44
Auto correct. Nevermind, I've forgot the profound thoughts. Sadly.
August 07, 2023 at 05:40
I had a spill on my keyboard as I had many profound thoughts. Please hold.
August 07, 2023 at 05:37
I dunno if it'd use that as my guidepost or not for poetry, but I think I agree. I'll give a soft agree as I think you're technically correct here. I ...
August 07, 2023 at 05:30
Ha, I was suspecting this might be the case! But this is what we need in this "activity"; discussion feels a bit slow on the upstart. Let's argue! *fi...
August 07, 2023 at 05:12
I don't mean to pile on the negatives, and I will get to the positives -but for me, and again for me, and I have strange tastes, it's the focus on the...
August 07, 2023 at 05:03
I've read this a few times and still struggle to find a rhythm to it. I think I struggle with these short lines. I have trouble knowing where if at al...
August 07, 2023 at 03:37
A meta-poem about TPF it would seem. Cute.
August 07, 2023 at 03:33
The writing is very understated, and reminds me of Flannery O'Connor, which is quite a compliment in my mind. We're dropped in similarly to "Shaun and...
August 07, 2023 at 03:29
I don't remember encountering the name Quigley before, so I was tickled from the beginning. I need to re-read this, but it's rather funny and intense ...
August 07, 2023 at 03:25
There's an odd way in which I really like the simplicity of this story. If you know me you know I tend to be drawn towards the opposite; the weird, th...
August 07, 2023 at 03:22
Similarly to "this little boy", I like the free association vibes on this, although I'm not sure what or if there's a message or "insight".
August 07, 2023 at 03:19
I'm not sure what this is on about, but I like this sort of free verse that almost feels like a stream of consciousness.
August 07, 2023 at 03:19
This seems like a proper haiku, although I can't say I'm that enamored with the style, at least nowhere near as much as some are. I'll give it a posit...
August 07, 2023 at 03:16
I agree on the "now-here" use. I'm not sure what's happening in this one to be honest. I'm probably missing it.
August 07, 2023 at 03:14
I liked this. I've written similar poems where it appears that some logical point is being made in an arcane way that's perhaps not logical, and this ...
August 07, 2023 at 03:13
This is a nice poem. I have a thing against mid-line rhyming for some reason, so bits like this aren't really my thing: I like these lines a lot thoug...
August 06, 2023 at 19:49
I thought this author was really good at describing the unique and unusual physical surroundings experienced by the protagonist. I don't know what it ...
August 06, 2023 at 19:42
:cool:
August 06, 2023 at 06:37
Cheers, friend. I very much value you getting involved.
August 06, 2023 at 06:34
This is so wonderful. The sounds are so clear. Excellent.
August 06, 2023 at 06:20
Ok folks, all stories are posted with their polls attached. Enjoy. A fun showing this time.
August 06, 2023 at 05:40
13 stories. At least 9 poems; not sure of the final number.
August 06, 2023 at 01:53
Submissions are closed, folks. Thanks to everyone who submitted. Stories and poems will begin to appear soon.
