Earth Day Contest Support Thread

Re: THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE

Well, despite Cookiejar unleashing that WMD (writing of mass destruction) I've just submitted my entry into the Earth Day contest. Because this immodest "First Time" exercise in literary lameness reaches a soaring climax, so to speak, at the top of a forestry service fire tower, it's been branded, "Towering Passion."

With that title, maybe I've got a chance for the coveted runner-up to last place trophy.

Rumple Foreskin

Why do you guys insist on trying to get lower scores than me? Who knows RF? "Towering Passion" may cause a towering inferno in reader's loins.

BTW...so that's where those WMD went?

 

[damppanties]

I started mine today. Because I had to choose between two of the stories which were floating around in my head and because I didn't feel like writing. I went with the easier one and will see if I can squeeze in the other one before 13th. Hope I can.

So, let's see - jeanne, Og and sirhugs' entires are posted. Anyone else I need to look out for? Where's gauche?

 

[jeanne_d_artois]

calling all contestants...vote for jeanne!

Thanks for the plug and the feedback, Sirhugs.

The plug seems to have worked. I haven't deterred votes with 5000 words but some of the anonymous feedback is odd - plus ça change.

Jeanne

PS. I left a few loose ends for a sequel but the continuing plot doesn't fit Earth Day.

Re: Re: Is short good?

Og,

Are you feeling okay? Seven hundred words usually doesn't qualify as a lengthy opening to your preamble. Have you been sneaking around the Reader's Digest magazines at your local library?

Rumple Foreskin

It was a deliberate exercise to try to be concise. It took considerable self control and denial - and then I was a few words too short.

I was trying to exorcise Jonathan Swift. He is still writing more episodes of Brobdingnag and he does go on and on...

The other reason is real life. I am facing three Annual General Meetings in the next few weeks respectively as Chairman, Vice-President and Secretary. Then there was giving evidence today before the Public Inquiry into the District Plan... Why do I get involved?

I may not have time to write one of my normal length stories for this year's Earth Day contest and all the ones part-completed would need overhauling to fit the theme.

Hedgehogs Rule, OK!

Stalled is where I am. I had my protagonist chasing a veritable Dianna and Gaia in human form, (who are sisters) through a grassy field and now he's fallen over and broken his nose.

Just goes to show how out of the loop I am. Here I've been going around thinking Dianna and Gaia were an old vaudeville song and dance team that used to play the Orpheum in Buffalo. Live and learn.

No such luck, the farmer fixes it (not sure if it's with pliers yet) and no sign of anaesthesia.

LOL. Well I want to read it already...all these little teases...sigh.

so then Dianna and Gaia tie him up and have their way with him? Or make him watch them enjoy Sappho?

hmmm.. how about a mature story about vaudevillians..not in the contest of course

Oh, I see. It's a gay male category story. A first for gauche?

Support group?

Happy Earth Day...

 

[damppanties]

Comments:

I was walking through the "Hedgehog" and viewed your name (damppanties)
thank you for the grin that is still upon my chin

I had given Og a PC...

The feedback made me grin... I think I'm in a great mood today.

 

[jeanne_d_artois]

Where have the stories gone?

I just checked my submissions.

'Pond Clearing' has vanished.

I checked the Earth Day contest entries. Over half are missing. What's happened?

Jeanne

Edited for PS: I have sent a PM to Laurel asking about mine and the other stories.

 

[damppanties]

jeanne, I see all.

'Pond Clearing' is there.

Try refreshing your page or clear your temp files and history.

 

[jeanne_d_artois]

Thank you, Dampy.

They are back.

I tried several times without luck then signed off for an hour.



Jeanne.

I wonder if that means I'll be able to vote again? Good story Jeanne.

Rumple Foreskin

ps: Just double-checked the list and found that the stories of both Cookiejar and little ol' me showed up last night. The board was probably gagging at the experience. RF

Sorry RF you smartypants! I had to give you a 5, I enjoyed Polly's first time almost as much as Polly.

Good Luck!!

A 5! That's cold CookieJar. You should be ashamed.

Another Try

My first short entry is doing TOO well, so I have submitted another 3000 word one called 'Energy Saving'.

Perhaps that one might get in the running for last place. If not I can always write another...

Og

You have been warned.

 

[gauchecritic]

Hmm. Maybe the category but not the sex. Have you read any of my stories?

OGG (No Mercy) BASHAN strikes again. At least give us an alert when it comes into public view. If it's got what it takes to compete with Cookiejar's WMD, civilization as we know it may be in peril.

Yes. You don't remember? *pout*
