Thank you so much Ana

I so badly hoped my ficlet would work out well as I was dying to write one about an artist in a satirical way – so glad it did!

Congrats to the other place getters (who’s stories I am going to read now!) and everyone else – all really great ficlets

Loved doing the challenge. Do some more!! :)
On Flashing Lights: Marilyn Monroe:

I really enjoyed this. The last two lines make the entire piece. The idea of her trying to convince herself it’s not real is both lovely and heartbreaking.
well done :)
On Investigation: Interview [Part 2]:

posted 4 months ago

This is fantastic!!!

I had no idea what the questions were going to be! Thank you so much for sequeling!

I like the last paragraph – the idea of her trying to rattle him works well
:)

And why is it everyone goes to the cayman islands when they disappear? You’d think that the cops would be onto it by now…lol :)
On Investigation: Interview [Part 1]:

This has been sitting on my desk for a year. I’ve finally decided to publish it, BUT I have no idea where it’s headed.

PLEASE anyone, jump in and sequel!

Keep within the style set above as close as possible :)

Well, Alexa, I picked up my rules from my 1965 version of Monopoly but I have a feeling they may be a little outdated.
It mentions courtesy and manners and gentlemen. I doubt they even exist anymore.
On A Peaceful End:

that comment was very non-descript i just realised and told you absolutely nothing

im going to try again

i like the descriptions of the sky in a very poetic trying-to-embrace-what-you-have type way. thats what I liked about it
and the instant connection i felt between the husband and wife – thats good seeing as I’ve only read this bit in the story :)

i hope thats better…sorry its late :) lol

On Where It Ends (Mistress Elsha Hawk's Place Challenge):

posted 5 months ago

I really love the simplicity of how you explain why this is your favourite place. How easily the story flows and how it makes perfect sense to be driving a semi stolen car – it all just seems to fit…somehow. Wonderful structure. I adore the second last line.

On My Stargirl:

This is breathtakingly wonderful. I adore the way you have written it – with the interjections about the friend planning to commit suicide. It was perfectly written. Really well done.
On Perhaps That is How it Should Be:

posted 5 months ago

This short series of Ficlets is fantastic! I adore the descriptions and I know exactly what you mean by finding your own place, deep in the woods where it seems like no one will ever find you and you can be whoever you want! I really want to visit this place of yours – it sounds so magical!
On The Gray and the Blue: Stovohobo Inspired; Tale of the Civil War:

posted 5 months ago

LOL at the number of comments Freedom posted.

I love the way you use words like brung and takin’, it allows us to see this character more clearly. I agree with THX though about the tenses but it would be hard to work it all in and you did it in a way that still makes sense so well done. :)
On You Never Appreciate What You Have Until It's Gone [place challenge by me]:

I like this. The way you describe the whole journey is very true – you need the perfect music and there are ALWAYS mints and candies to be eaten!

Thanks for entering
On How to Be Broken:

[pens&feathers] – you got me hooked!

This is why I love backwards stories – you know whats happened already but just not why and that for me is the most important part

Superbly crafted; your descriptions paint the scene as if I were there and I can feel her heartache almost
I cant wait to read more!

Thanks for entering
On Cancer:

posted 6 months ago

Well done someday_93
This is really fantastic and exactly what I was hoping for when I wrote this challenge – a perfect story that reveals layers as it continues!
Wonderfully written!

And Blusparrow – a bruise doesnt mean skin cancer – it refers to there being something wrong with the blood cells when one has cancer, especially leukemia and that they rupture easily, thus causing a bruise
Skin cancer is shown by black growths normally around moles

Thanks so much for entering someday

did you read the other parts in the series?!

this ficlet on its own is great but I won’t sequel it as it doesnt fit with the story I’m creating, sorry!!

On Alec's Very Bad Night Just Got Worse (Pt. 2):

posted 8 months ago

Nice CMTKOM
but
I will take it upon myself to correct your German…which I will assume was translated on the Internet

It should be – Machen Sie sich keine Sorgen. Dieses tut wenig weh.
Don’t worry, this doesn’t hurt much.

That’s just more German – yours made sense but the order and the grammar was a little off
:)
and Agent Winters does sound pretty sassy and Morticia Addams was hot…in a kinda morbid way…lol
On Alec's Very Bad Night Just Got Worse (Pt. 1):

posted 8 months ago

Mad Alec – that’s hot

lol

I am SO interested to know what the Romanian actually means…I cant find any translation…probably because it’s very rude

and THANKS for the sequel – i was worried people would actually HEED that I had said I would sequel but secretly, I had no ideas what to write :)

I feel an Alec ficlet coming along…perhaps if no one sequels soon, I may have to sharpen my skills and write again!
On Advent:

On starshine drama:

posted 8 months ago

its alright…but still this wasnt a bad job as a stand alone ficlet as it doesnt really connect as you noticed lol

the poetry is really very nice though and the lines they say…i think you should try again with your own story/stand alone with this rhyming poetry structure…i like it
On *Ist it better to write in 1st or 3rd person?*:

posted 8 months ago

i often write in third person as I feel then I can let the reader make their own decisions and assumptions about the characters opinion and I often use – he or she – as then it adds a layer of anonymity and I can reveal who they are later

i mix and match when I’m writing – like the main story in third and snippets and sections in the first person to show urgency and immediacy or to reveal their thoughts…i think it’s more fun that way

where I live is one of the famous hubs of street art in the world, which i think is pretty cool

sigh the final end to a very wonderful series…one that I assume will be very hard to forget in the ficlets world

well done Nick, CMTKOM and Howie

(continued)
WHY?! this is a site for people to express their creative talent in writing

this site contains no spam or adult images like many other sites out there
are you suggesting those are more appropriate?!

ficlets has a mature warning on stories that are inappropriate to avoid young minds reading things beyond their years, which you have unfortunately completely disregarded

havent you just contradicted yourself then?!

i just think its rude to assume the younger generation are brain dead
On So Goes the Night:

posted 8 months ago

FourSeven

I would be careful…you are stepping into very unknown territory insulting the [more or less] king of ficlets

and I think other young writers would take offence to the fact that you assume they are unaware of the meaning of such words as euphemism
as well as your inferring that parents should be wary of this site (more)
On The Revolution:

oh dear can we please stop discussing the best ways to kill a frog?!

it is distressing me quite a bit
me and my feminine qualities that dont allow me to relish the thoughts of a frog being killed

sigh stovo once again I am in awe at your ability to understand the complex workings of history even though you have yet to figure out what highschool is like

i assure you…highschool is much more daunting that writing a politically accurate ficlet
consider yourself warned
On The Touch 6:

but some spelling mistakes –

this is a good series…i like it…not sure WHO the man is though but im sure that will become clear in time

perhaps you could be devious and link this in with the Josiah/Tessa series currently being written…although that would just cause a mess of sequels and prequels

as i said..devious
