This thread would be a good candidate for a sticky!

The Dragon and the Kabocha Squash The leader of the Benazen Clan cursed as his pack mule trotted ever so slowly up the mountain. After a while it turned its head towards the screaming man with more curiosity than annoyance, and squatted to defecate. The motion threw him off balance and he...

Reminder: This contest will conclude on Monday 11/30 If you have been meaning to post your short critique, please post it before then. Although the thread will remain open, critiques will only count as a vote through 11/30. Thanks to all who have contributed and participated! Paul

Thanks Derk for all of the time and effort you invested into the guild and alliance. Its pretty much a thankless job, but you handled it with competence and fairness. And it didn't kill you...so I'm sure it made you stronger! :) So...STC now gets to inherit all your headaches...how did you...

Whenever I host a PvP event, it will be posted here. If you look at the other posts in this forum, you will see that I have hosted several Monday night events. I am not able to organize an event every Monday night. Have a great holiday week! Paul

My apologies to the Monday night PvP crowd, Mirawyn and I had too much going on tonight to be able to play, as we are preparing to host Thanksgiving at our house. However we should be able to host or join in on late night PvP tomorrow night. If you can come and would like us to have an event...

I read the one about Abaddon and the Dragon, a really compelling story with a good bit of originality. I left a short critique on your forum. You are always welcome to post you ongoing story work here as well if you are looking for further critique and commentary. And I hope you'll consider...

My book fair last week made this impossible, but if you schedule one again tomorrow night we may be able to come!

We figured everyone would be Guild-Warsed out tonight after all the Halloween questing, but lets plan ahead for PvP next Monday night! Mirawyn and I really love playing PvP, but I'm not sure we're getting the participation we really need if we're going to keep it up. Monday night is the only...

If you have the admin privileges, please sticky! :) This thread is now in the SUBMISSIONS phase. Please do not post critiques or comments until I post that it has entered the CRITIQUE phase. The story idea: Use the phrase "two objects cannot occupy the same space at the same time" as the...

Critique: Slim (Dale) Dale, your story is chilling. I didn't really get it the first time I read it. I even started to critique it the wrong way. I think you need to make it sink in a little faster on the first read. Part of the problem is the imagery of the opening paragraph. I was...

Critique: Nerai the Forgiven Neirai, your story was a very skillful attempt to do something that is very difficult to do in 300 words. Heck its difficult to do at all. I think you are largely successful. At least you grabbed and held my interest entirely and that's hard to do even for 300...

Critique: Exo-Slayer This made for an EXCELLENT start to our writing contest, I was very happy the day that you posted it! It is a very atmospheric piece, good use of descriptive language but I think its a bit too much description vs action unless you want to take it to the point of being...

Critique Stage This thread is now in the CRITIQUE and VOTING stage. In order to vote for an entry, you need to read it and then write a short critique. You may vote for multiple entries or just your favorite. Whichever entry has the most critiques will be the WINNER! A good critique...

Halloween I might had recognized the genie as the real deal, except it was Halloween and I’d gotten a very late start and I was trick-or-treating in a neighborhood where adults tend to dress up in very fancy costumes. My own ‘Count Dracula’ costume had started falling apart as I ran across...

Our friend Glenn wants to join up for PvE stuff during the special event, so Mirawyn and I won't likely do PvP Monday. However if the late night PvP folks want to organize an event, we can probably come to that. Just be sure to post so we'll know!

Next time you schedule one Dea and I should be able to come. Things have been insane for both of us over the last two weeks!

WOW

Many years ago when I was working for a public library we had a book returned many months after its due date. Its title was "Avoiding procrastination". :D

Those are fantastic suggestions Exo, you are obviously very well read. I agree wholeheartedly about Vonnegut, would also recommend Damon Knight for short stories with a little more sarcasm and humor. Asimov was phenomenal. For those who have never encountered this writer, I recommend you...
