FAWC You, Two!

[TE999]

My story's finished. I just need to add the contest boilerplate at the beginning. Do I have to wait until 2 August to submit it or can I go ahead and send it now?

Check your mailbox.

Check your mailbox.

That's what she said . . . .

Okay, so that didn't make sense. Fawc it.

I'm going over mine now. I have this really, really, really nice neighbor who sleeps all day and then runs the vacuum, does the laundry, and lets the kids bang on the walls (the ones we share) until about three or four every morning. That means I have another hour before I can sleep. And music doesn't block the sounds. I tried.

Get you a recording of a cult meeting or a satanic sacrifice. Play it loudly then the next day tell the neighbor, "Sorry 'bout the noise last night. We had to deal with my friends' noisy ass neighbors."
Repeat this action until they get it. Maybe bring in a live goat for effect.
Or go buy a shitload of guns and rant loudly how noisy fuckers are gonna make you snap.

Apparently she liked the meth a little too much. The cult and satanic ideas might bring her to my door.

Last week I banged shit around every time they did. I shoved things into the walls, let cabinet doors slam, and opened and closed the closet a dozen times. It helped that night but gave me a headache.

Poor Lynn. Wish you could sound proof things.

Okay, story is finished. Got a little feedback and now have title, description, etc. Just need to read it over after not looking at it for a while, so I guess I'll do that after I take PennGirl to the library.

Or call the police. Most jurisdictions have ordinances against loud noises after a certain time at night. The first time is usually just a warning, unless the person gives the cops shit. Second time, citation - usually around $35 - $50.

Or if you live in an apartment complex, complain to management. Ask them if they will handle it or do they want you to call the cops.

See if the tenant on the other side of her also dislikes the noise and both of you go to the complex office.

Other than that...well maybe you can write a murder thriller...as experienced by...

You have to watch that shit, the neighbor could be someone like me and want to join in the ritual

Had a similar neighbor years ago. Tuned my stereo to an obnoxious talk show, turned the speakers to a connecting wall. Turned it up loud and went to work. After two days, she confronted me, told me to turn it down, it was bothersome, she needed her sleep.

I laughed and said me too. Bedtimes at 10:00. If I can hear her afterward, she'd hear me.

We had a discussion. Things got better, and only one or twice a month did I have to blast the wall.

The tenant on the other side of her is deaf/mute.

Hmm, a murder thriller . . .

I might have to find one of those talk shows.

2500k so far and the night is still young, things are starting to look up for me to finish. But then again tomorrow is the wife's b-day so I don't think "I have to finish this" is going to go over too well, so it hinges on tonight and how early I can start on Friday.

Hey, peeps, apologies for not being around much. My Internet connection has been sporadic for the last several days. I'm hoping to have it sorted out here pretty soon so that I can be on when I want to be.

I've received several stories, and I've noticed a trend: just about everyone's story title begins with the letter A In one case, it begins with a number. Coincidence?

So if I get mine written in time, I guess I'll have to start it with an A too.

I scrapped everything I had as it wasn't coming together and started something else entirely day before yesterday. And now I have half a story written.

Not necessarily. Nor for placement reasons.

I only have half of my second one. Not sure if I'll get it finished in time. I'd like to, but aside from Internet issues, it's been pretty busy this past week.

Well, if I don't get it finished in time, I might simply complete it and submit it out of FAWC. I'm kind of beginning to like this one a bit.

sr, the As are totally your fault. You were the one analyzing the winning story's title in the last thread!

That analysis was early on. And which story got read the most and rated the highest?

 

[damppanties]

Well, according to you, the word 'gloryhole' was the reason. I hope we don't have A Gloryhole Engagement, A Gloryhole Situation, A Gloryhole Subjugation, A Gloried Gloryhole, etc. this time around.

 

[FAWCker]

But now, unless someone makes their title "AAA A Time To Remember" like businesses used to do in the Yellow Pages, the point of starting a title with A is pretty much pointless, since almost every one of them does.

Just to be clear -- I'm not slamming anyone for the title they choose. But I also won't post a story with a title like "AAA A Time to Remember," either.

 

[damppanties]

I'm going to go with A1 Gloryhole.
