lol. Thanks. I should read the entirety of a post thread before joining in. XD

@whaley

This sounds fun! I’ve wanted to do a short story contest for a while.

By the by, just to clarify, is it 500 words minimum, or maximum? Also, does it need to be a new story?

@koshka But it’s my darling Language and Diction Experiment. 0.O (But great idea. I might jump off onto my other more scar-central stories though.)

Hmmm… let’s see if I can.

Hey, @elishavet-pidyon you could submit that Blood of the Macabee’s short story…? 🙂

And everyone else is like “you just called them idiots…”

And they’re like “Aww, he said we’re his sons.”

@ellette-giselle

Yes! XD

Opossums, as part of creation, have my respect. But no more.  They’re not really higher than mosquitoes in my opinion.

We’ve had them try to kill our cats, our dog, and generally terrorize our lives.

@ellette-giselle

Ah yes. The Fowlers. A. D. Smith could write a whole joke book for them.

@elishavet-pidyon

“What are you doing here?”

“Catching bullets, apparently.”

This is why Jayson is so awesome. (Did you just shoot my boy?)

*Snorting laugh*

@power

Oh. Oh my. That’s kind of concerning in a “I definitely don’t need one of those” way.

@ellette-giselle

Eeeeeeepers. Yeah no. I’m with Helmer on hights; they’re tolerable, but I’ll die with my feet on the ground, thank you very much.

XD

@ellette-giselle

True, true. I think I can claim my paralysis gloves though (although that was inspired by some medical stuff).

(No? But I was cringing inside and wide-eyed)

@ellette-giselle

Oh my. No, I’ve never seen that.

I stole the idea from my brother, who has also never seen that.

Leo

“I know.” Footsteps in the distance clicked faintly in his ears. A buzzing radio signal flared nearby. The security team no doubt. Leo looked at Rory, eyes narrowing. “You ever climbed a brick wall?”

He took the Kid’s wide eyes as an answer. Leo leaning against a classroom door as he fished around for the master key. Two…[Read more]

These are from a WIP Rules of the Road. I’d give more context, but I think they speak for themselves. XD

My heart literally froze.

@jonas

Considering that this is all about a “way before my time” comment (which it was, true enough) your feeling old doesn’t really help matters.

XD

@jonas

*Blinks*

Thanks for making me feel old.

*Dramatic sigh*

Ugh. I want to join here so bad…but Real Life just isn’t letting me have anything like a steady presence on here. I don’t think I could handle two RPs.

But I want to. Oh how I want to.

*Mournful sigh*

@jonas

Hmmm…

*Looks thoughtful*

The Character Castle also had a plot, at least in the beginning. It was very loose, but there was an established villain, and each character had a general Something to Achieve. For instance, my charies had a personal vendetta against the castle lord, Godly-fantasy’s character’s were being stalked by her…[Read more]

Leo

He sucked in a breath and nodded. “I know. I know. We’re going to get out of here as soon as Silvia gets cleaned up.”

He glanced at the bathroom door where his sister had disappeared. A minute passed. Distant voices echoed down from the fight scene, or whatever that was. Leo tensed. Sighed.…[Read more]
