That story was so good, I read to my mom. She laughed and said “sounds like its from half-experience”

Thank you! Lol, I’ve never exploded a microwave myself, but once at co-op, someone microwaved his hotdog for 4 minutes, the microwave broke and started smoking, we all evacuated, and the fire department showed up.

Just making sure you didn’t forget about this. XD

Okay. I think I have time today to finish up here and get stuff posted for y’all. If it’s not posted tonight I will (lord willing) get it posted tomorrow morning.

Awesome 😀

Welp, I didn’t get it all typed up and posted before work, so here it is a few more hours late.

Good gravy, it was hard to pick. I probably spent way too long staring at them all till I’d forgotten all my first impressions.

 

@rae

A very interesting scene and character. The whole room oozed creepiness, which reflected the story’s feel beautifully. Your grammar and style has a flowered tone, which makes me feel like I’m listening to a harold when I read your writing. It makes reading your work very amusing to me. I enjoyed it. Is this a villain from your WIPs, or something you came up with here? I feel sorry for the maid that has to deal with that woman.

 

@raxforge

You used a straightforward voice here without many fancy words. It gives the character a solid feel and helped me feel like I understood him and he wasn’t trying to lie to me. It felt more like a character sketch than regular flash fiction. (Also, the name Lord Quackers cracks me up everytime I read it. Congratulations. It’s great.)

 

@whalekeeper

I feel sorry for Ignatius, but also, wow, all her cookies? May I aspire to be as generous.

Your descriptions are vivid and clear. The abnormalities of the characters don’t feel big/unreal when in story. A kid fireball? Why of course! It was very enjoyable. I sympathize with Ignatius and his sister.

 

@theducktator

Oh gracious. That microwave is very much totaled. I remember doing some stuff growing up for the “name of science” but it was mostly just seeing if hand soap or toothpaste cleaned the bathroom counter better.

The overall tone sounds like a kid writing their own autobiography with all the dramatic flare they can think to add. I’d guess the character is quite a handful. It was a lot of fun to read.

 

@theshadow

Random, but I do like the name Percival. It just has this snide, offhanded smirk that is very character-ish.

Are they brothers, or did something happen to Damien’s brother? Because now I’m wondering. I liked how you introduced the scene and then let parts of the back story unfold itself in the character’s actions and thoughts. I’m intrigued by how they got to this point of daily dueling.

 

Alrighty, I’m going to throw a 1st place ribbon at Whaley and say she’s now flash fiction judge for the next round (or she can elect someone else if she needs to).

I think second place goes to Rae with the very creepy setting, and third to Ducky and the story that made me laugh the hardest.

And everyone gets raspberry chocolate cake and ice cream because you made it really hard to decide anything. So congratulations. You’re all amazing.

Lol didn’t realize that but glad that someone recognized could get that from there.

No, they’re not related. Although… that sounds really interesting. I’m still figuring out their relationship because they’re both from a WIP, and Damian and Percival are rivals who hate each other (don’t know why yet). Also, did I mention Damian having a brother, because I’m a little confused. He doesn’t have one, so that might be my bad for conveying that. Anyway thank you!!

@theshadow

Ah no, I meant Percival’s brother. Or, I think you said that his “brother fights better” than him.

@koshka

Ohh, okay that makes so much more sense now. Percival has an older brother, Emmerich, who does fight well and is generally considered a “better” knight than Percival because he is a better swordsman and adheres more to chivalry than his brother.

My siblings and I tested the slipperiness of banana peels once, but we’ve never caught anything on fire either.

She’s from one of my WIPs, and that’s exactly what it is. 😃Her autobiography.

 I’d guess the character is quite a handful.

Goodness, yes. XD

It was a lot of fun to read.

Thank you!

YaYy!! Thanks for the ribbon! *Ties it into a bow and sticks it in my hair*

A kid fireball is better than a normal fireball, just sayin’. Jest aside, I had a lot of fun with this prompt. The best part about it was pretending my flashfic was a part of a bigger story. It was easy to pretend I had everything figured out. XD

I will throw the next prompt out in a day or so? That’ll work.

@theducktator

Thank you! Your story was quite funny, by the way. I truly laughed while reading it.

Alright, next prompt! Ready?

Hidden talent.

Limit is still 500 words. You have until the night of March 2nd, until I fall asleep in my time zone. (Not like you need to know this, but whatever.) That’s a little more than one week. Date may be shifted if stories aren’t ready.

*squeak of delight*

I forgot to add my story to the last contest until it was far too late, but I should have time for this one. So I am not a little excited.

Better yet, I already have an idea for it. This will be fantastic.

*cackles*

You have listened to fears, child. Come, let me breathe on you... Are you brave again? -Aslan
