I love the Freudian nature of Peter Pan, and how depending on what age you read it, Petergoes from being a great adventure hero to a great tragic hero.
Most of the changes to the original speech are in the first two paragraphs (in the prequel). Lincoln referred to the United States as one nation, whereas Davis, in my version, refers to them as a set of independent states. This piece was inspired by a line in National Treasure 2, where Nicholas Cage’s character says that before the Civil War, the U.S. was referred to as “are” plural, and afterward the U.S. was referred to as “is” singular…
There are subtle differences here. The Davis version emphasizes more the need for States’ rights, over a strong central government. so it’s “governments,” rather than “government” of the people…
Loving all things 24 (except season 6), I’m definitely going to be following this one. Have you read any of the 24 stuff I’ve been working on with TheBetweenSpace?
The math is WAY over my head on this one, but I enjoyed it as a Ficlet nonetheless. After going through this, my entry to the number challenge shouldn’t be too hard for you to decipher!
I like the mythic tone you put in your writing here. Interesting that the father, rather than the mother is the one more accepting of the child, especially given that the child is a girl.

You know, first thing I had to do as soon as I saw this segment was check out the website! Nicely done, both on the ficlet itself and the expanded universe…
Okay, so apparently Robert Zemeckis is shooting my life story. And now the fun part. Here’s a link to all the songs on my soundtrack: http://www.playlist.com/node/34950307 . WARNING: Some songs may have explicit content
Actually, except for the Forrest Gump theme, which would go over the title sequence, these are all cover versions of 80’s songs, which were a big part of my formative years… more to come…
Does it violate the fifth commandment if I used Fandango yesterday for my Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (wow, is that the longest title EVER?) tickets?
Saturday, March 24, 1984 Shermer, IL 60062 Dear Mr. Vernon, We accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole saturday in detention for whatever it was we did wrong. But we think you’re crazy to make us write this essay telling you who we think we are. You see us as you want to see us. In the simplest terms and the most convenient definitions. You see us as a brain, an athlete, a basket case, a princess, and a criminal. That’s the way we saw each other at 7 o’clock this morning. We were brainwashed.
I actually had a similar retirement dream, to open up a little sand bar on Orient Beach (a nude beach) in Sint Maarten/St. Martin (the French side). You open up every day, not caring if you make a profit or not, and watch the lovelies go by all day long…
I heard a story once. In fact, I’ve heard a lot of stories in my time. They went along with the sound of a tinny piano in the parlor downstairs. “Mister, I met a man once when I was a kid,” they always began. . This segment just made me think of that line from Casablanca. But I definitely love the chemistry and the interplay between Paul and Velvet in this series.
Cha-chung… cha-chung… cha-chung… cha-chung… We now have a ticking clock! We have thirteen hours to save Jason (if we can), and three more to bring his captors to justice (again, if we can!)
Great POV on here. The confused reactions to the first A-Bomb dropped are haunting. And the fact that you titled this piece with the date of the bombing evokes 9/11 for me.
I just realized I may have done something weird subconsciously as far as naming characters goes. Tony is being played by Randall in our storyline = Tony Randall? Wha—??
You know, for the longest time I avoided getting a cell, because I just didn’t want to be that reachable. Now, like a lot of other people, it’s practically my primary means of communication.
CHA-CHUNG… CHA-CHUNG… CHA-CHUNG… CHA-CHUNG… I was having trouble wrapping my head around how Randall acquired sodium pentathol last time, but this seems to work. Now let’s hope Frank doesn’t have a diabetic reaction…
I kinda think that maybe Arnold never was as invested in the fantasy as the others are because he didn’t really get a say on which character he would be…
Grrr! I_ wanted to do a _24 story, but you beat me to the punch! Anyway, this’ll get me through till season seven starts next January (or at least till the Season 7 prequel movie this fall)...
I’ve not experienced this particular brand of fear (yet), but you did do such a great job of describing it, that I felt myself tugging at my own collar…
Haha! I had thought ice cream all the way, and then when you mentioned that you were considering mature tagging, I read it again. Brilliant (and totally hot)! Makes me think of this sneezing video (which also might not be suitable for minors) . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E61_oa3kb2o . Describing an object or event in detail without saying what it is, and then letting your readers guess it, might be a good idea for a challenge.
I wrote this in English, then translated it into French in tribute to Saint-Exupery using Babel Fish, which means there are bound to be mistranslations in the text. I tried to correct some of the most obvious ones, using my memory of high school French, which I have not used in about fifteen years. So if anyone notices anything off in the translation (Nouvelle!), please let me know and I’ll make the change. Merci!!

I’m starting to get a sneaking suspicion that there’s an ulterior motive for someone raising stupid zombies other than to disrupt these civil rights rallies…
This might be fun. So The Way It Had to Be and Eva Braun might actually be two separate incidents with a murder/suicide? Love to see where you go with this, though Murray’s immediate knowledge of Hitler’s birthday kinda puts him on my suspicious list…
Ah! That it was Whitney Houston slipped by me on the first read-through. A great sequel for this might be her exit interview and reaction in the confessionals….
This is why there are no superheroes in their terrible twos, though I wonder how Franklin Richards got through that age! Love the absurdity of this story.
The really great thing about this one was that the growing size of the sentences (as per the challenge) actually matched up metaphorically with the build up of emotion within the scene. Masterfully done.
I like it! It’s very sentimental! Just take out the word counts at the end of each line (even though it’s there for the challenge) and let the story stand on its own.
Kudos for Xavier going back in to work, instead of punting the day and going off to Six Flags. And being that he’s from Valencia, I imagine that there’s a better than 50/50 chance that his first words will be “FADE IN:”?
I know what you mean, Fyora! I’ve held off on putting up a few of my unfinished series for adoption. Okay, I’m off to read all of these so I can see which to contribute to…
This isn’t a challenge per se, so apologies in advance for sticking a “newchallenge” tag on it. I just wanted to get some traffic here to create visibility for my orphans, as well as to encourage people to sequel this Ficlet with their orphans…
I should also mention that if you do decide to sequel one (or more) of these, please send me a note. I’d love to know where my babies went off to college.
Kindergarten really is just the sorting hat for the rest of our lives, isn’t it? We’re all in one room for a few months, and after that we become rebels and nerds, jocks and princesses, slytherins and gryffindors…
Nice turn! It subtly raises the stakes for Chuck/Todd. Can he stay out of trouble long enough to get through school? And how will these new rules affect his loyalty to the crew when the shit (pardon my French) goes down?
Could still be an interesting spin, although there is a continuity error here as THX had established the narrator’s name as “Chuck” in the previous Ficlet. Perhaps changing the name from “Hayden” to “Charlene?”
I like how Alex is able to read Chuck without being told anything, as well as his ability to communicate to Young with minimal dialogue. Great use of subtext that shows the nature and depth of their relationship.
Anima is quite the shapeshifter. I so want to do an in-depth Jungian analysis of all your characters (if only I had the time). I’m just waiting for them to shed their respective personae and let their animae become exposed. Fascinating!
A theme that I’m hoping you’ll explore in future Ficlets, is that the nerd archetype and the jock archetype is at its core the same. Both are driven to achieve (either scholastically or athletically), because arguably their futures depend on it.
I don’t usually like to pick up longer series when the writer is already deep into it, but this looks to be interesting. I’m hoping that we find in each of your characters a brain, and an athlete, and a basket case, a princess, and a criminal…
Dale Sr. went out the way he was meant to: On the final turn of the final lap of the sport’s premier race, and blocking for his teammates no less! His legend is secure, and so is his advice.
I totally agree with what everybody else has mentioned in their responses to this challenge (and thank you if you’ve mentioned me), but these three I think may not have gotten as much recognition as they should have.
This is the first time you’re out of character with your story. Count Rugen would not fight Inigo on equal terms. That’s why he ran away in their encounter in the original version…
One other thing I thought I’d mention about paragraphs is that the size of a paragraph has a subtle influence on the perception of a story’s pacing. Shorter paragraphs make the story seem to go at a quicker pace, while longer paragraphs (or short paragraphs where the end of the paragraph isn’t clear) make the moment seem longer. This is one reason why screenplays keep to the page-a-minute rule with one or two-line paragraphs. Size does matter.
This was cute, and I was thinking about doing a Ficlet on how opposing teams tend to overshift on pull hitters like Jason Giambi, so that they’d be completely caught off guard should he ever decide to bunt down the third base line…
I’m a little concerned that what started out as a good set between two great writers is starting to stagnate. The problem as I see it is that neither writer is willing to let their characters lose the upper hand to the other’s characters. As a result, this conflict stays at a perpetual stalemate and the action doesn’t rise. Advice: get together privately and work out between yourselves which one of you will drop some yardage on the field, so that the story can open up.
Being that Goldman was the screenwriter for Misery and actually came up with the sledgehammer scene (I haven’t read Stephen King’s book, but I understand that the Kathy Bates character actually saws off the writer’s feet), I just couldn’t resist making the connection.
Here is the inspiration for this Ficlet (I couldn’t find one on the Flickr images :-() . http://www.mondotees.com/ProductImages/bangonicons/45adapyell.jpg
I do get a bit wistful when I realize my own brother, who’s only twelve years younger than me, has no idea what a 45 adapter is. . (Right now, Flute is also asking herself, “what is a 45 adapter?”)
MyName Is, I don’t think that “gay idiot” is the author’s actual attitude, but rather the thoughts of a character in denial and still trying to figure out who she is, especially after being immersed in mainstream values and mores all of her life. YKYLM, this is interesting, but can be developed further. You’ve got a lot of space to use here. Why not use it?
There’s a big jump in the story that needs to be explained more, between the being done with guys to making out with Jenn. Did Jenn seduce Kaitlyn or did Kaitlyn go after Jenn. Also you have a POV shift in the middle of this Ficlet. It starts out third person, then becomes first person midway through the telling.
Does indenting work on Ficlets? I’m not sure, having never tried. Something that shows where one paragraph ends and the next begins. Of course, indenting may cost you more characters than skipping a line.
Haha! The idea for this Ficlet, aside from Ridcully’s Challenge, was a discussion I was having with some friends about how Cage, by naming his kid Kal-El, was just asking for trouble. Also Kevin Smith, who named his kid Harley Quinn, after the Batman villain.
Nonsense Ficlets don’t really bother me, so long as they aren’t abusive, not tagged properly, or attack anybody. Lewis Carroll was a master of nonsense, as was Douglas Adams.
I actually had Henry Wu from JP on the back of my mind when I first started writing the story, Stovo, but I changed the name to “Lu” after a family friend. I don’t know why I changed it back to “Wu” for this rundown, but I’ve fixed it again to “Lu.” Thanks for spotting that for me!
The two mentioned have grossly flouted the Community Standards outlined at the bottom of the page time and again, both in their own Ficlets and in their comments to others. Although their appearances on the site have been sporadic, it has been going on for months. I believe that serious disciplinary action is in order here for these two, which may include deletion of offending material to monitoring of future postings to permanent banning from the site.
Totally agree with you again, R_M! And I further agree with THX, that it takes me out of the story if spelling and grammar are incorrect (unless of course it was done intentionally for effect). One group I would add though to those who get a free pass, are those for whom English is not their native language. I know there are at least a handful here, and just because they don’t speak or write a lot of English, doesn’t mean they don’t have something to say.
Also, on cutting and pasting from Word. I originally used to do this on other sites because back in the days of dialup (and now the younger Ficleteers are saying, “What’s dialup?” D’oh!) I would write long postings on boards, only to have my call drop before I could post it. So I’d lose what I wrote. So Word became my backup. But it’s still a good idea, because you can spellcheck and grammar check on Word before you post onto Ficlets.
Yes, yes, and yes. Part of my process is that when I get about halfway through my Ficlet, I’ll write my endpoint and work towards that. Also I write it in MS Word, then cut and paste it onto here, because I HATE that when you write your Ficlet in DRAFT mode and then make it public, Ficlets records the original posting date/time and your story never shows up on the MOST RECENT list.
I’ve been on every side of this. I’ve ignored some sequels of my stories and I’ve encouraged others. In turn, some of my sequels have been ignored and others encouraged to continue. But definitely the “wikifiction” aspect of this site should be used more.
Ending with a hook or a cliffhanger is good advice, even if you plan to sequel yourself. If you look at almost any TV show, it always ends on a cliffhanger right before a commercial break. This is to keep your interest piqued enough to sit through three minutes of ads (for those with TiVo this is a non-issue), rather than switch channels looking for something else. Same thing applies here. The rule goes, “Always leave them wanting more…”
I’m on Robotech_Master’s and CMT,KOM’s side of the podium on this. Coming from a screenwriting background, I definitely appreciate more how white space makes things much easier to read.
This is my stuff (one might say my fault), but I was trying to emulate William Goldman’s writing style from the original novel. The explanation is a little involved, so I’ll tell you about it in a private note. (And anyone else who wants the explanation as well, drop me a note)
You really did capture the voices of the characters! Well done! And I couldn’t resist sequeling this, though I tried to emulate the novel more than the movie…
Admittedly, these are very short pages (no wonder the book is over 700 pages long!), and I let this set just get away from me. But it was so much fun to write!
I had a completely different plan for my 100th Ficlet, but when I read what Uselessness had done with TPB, well, I just couldn’t resist the opportunity to try to emulate one of my heroes of page and screen, William Goldman…
I’ve less of an issue with Celeste’s age, though having been around in the early 20th century I can see how it would be stretch for to be anything less than Sean’s great aunt. The main thing for me was that Ridcully’s prequel had him stealing a copy from her, while later sequels (which were written previously) have the book stolen from Howie’s vampire Sterling Wilson. Also, Celeste, as co-author of the book, should have multiple copies in her home to give out as gifts.
I wrote this basically in screenplay format, though not perfect, given the limitations of the site. If you haven’t yet seen BE KIND REWIND, I recommend it highly. And Kevin, as per your request. Enjoy!
To be quite honest, I’m not quite sure where I’m going with this section, but I wanted to get it out before tomorrow. I was thinking of some sort of allusion to Lazarus, but wasn’t sure how to work it. Let me know what you think, if it works or if I need to make adjustments.
So the main thing I’m picking up here is that Sean’s Aunt Celeste might not be the same person who co-authored the Guide and provided psychotherapy to a certain Irish zombie bodyguard. Great job of straightening out the continuity on this storyline, THX! Thanks!
And for those of you who want to read this Ficlet in its proper context (and haven’t checked out Melia’s profile to the right), the story starts here: http://ficlets.com/stories/22722
I still like the story so far, but I do feel that some of the dialogue is overstated in this section. Emily’s relationship with her mother should be such that they should be able to communicate without spelling everything out for each other. Dial back a bit on the dialogue, and let the subtext pull your reader in. Example: “Just be careful.” I knew what that last euphemism meant. “Mom!” “Well, better safe than sorry.”
Minor time shift error here. NY is actually six hours behind Paris, not in front (actually because of DST, it’s five hours behind for the next two weeks). So 8 PM in Paris is 2 PM in NY. Emily should want to have a late lunch right now.
Of course you realize that the odds of actually successfully navigating an asteroid field are approximately three thousand seven hundred twenty to one…
Funny, I picked up this story at the previous Ficlet because there is a terrific Filipino restaurant in the East Village (not far from NYU) called Cendrillon.
Okay, tangent over. I’m enjoying this story, though I’m still waiting for the twist…
Actually, there were two versions of the game. Tapper had Budweiser branding on the game (including on the tap lever), and was only available in bars. Root Beer Tapper, on the other hand, had a generic root beer logo in place of Budweiser. This version was identical to the Bud version in all other respects, but was available in arcades, and was the version that eventually got ported to home systems.
There was a game, whose title I’m trying to remember, that involved filmed stock footage of WWI biplanes dogfighting, and a push bar that triggered a machine gun sound effect…
You can almost tell the age of some people by the level of obscurity of their video game choices. I’m thinking of doing Rally X, Karate Champ, or Elevator Action…
POV is fine, Melia. It’s just that the reader needs to go back a few parts to where it’s established if they’re just picking up the story from here. If you keep re-establishing the POV in every part, it’ll slow down the story.
Terrific sequence! There’s a little bit of a Harry Potter element, which I would caution you against straying too close to, but I thoroughly enjoyed the conflict and your exploration of the characters and their relationships.
two weeks laTer, aNd only tarmaie and band baby have fIgured it out still. do i NeEd to use the code everyone else uses for more people to guess the secret message to bob?
So it’s a side-equal to a side-equal, since mine is already an aside to Melia’s story, probably more than it is to PG2V. I may have to consult you more to keep my psych straight, since most of my knowledge comes from sources like Ordinary People and Frasier…
I’m finding that the tone in these stories is a bit more serious than in PG2V (maybe Arthur was writing the funny parts?), but I’m really enjoying the fact that even though Melia and I are writing our stories independently of each other, we each seem to be feeding off of the other’s work, which is a reminder for me to be careful with what I do with Liam, because he is, after all, Melia’s character.
For me, just one core elective psych class in college, that I was not mature enough to really pay attention to at the time. Celeste, on the other hand, has studied under Freud, according to her author bio…
This is developing along nicely. How old is Cherry anyway? Based on her blog, definitely older than eight. twelve? thirteen? Ooh, that’s a magic number…
I’m going to give this a shot. But if somewhere down the line I here Mic say, “Killian! Here’s Sub-Zero… now… plain zero!”, I’m going to be very disappointed…
Isn’t it such fun to take the generally accepted conventions of horror and monster genres, and just turn them on their ear? I think I might want to do a crossover with one of your characters and one of mine from my “Practical Guide to Vampirism” series. Or I’d love to see how you do the same…
Okay, so only two people have sent me notes with the correct answer for the hidden message. So here’s my first hint: Consider how Bob received the message from his wife. And why would she place the word POUND all in caps?
I like how Kingsley and Amberly are no longer in the same place. One wants to escalate the relationship, while the other wants to continue the playful flirtation and maintain the status quo. Build on this conflict and see how far you can raise the stakes…
MAJOR turning point here. Necessary, but it also makes me a little sad because all of the wonderful sexual tension that was bubbling under has now surfaced. My advice to Kingsley then (as a writer, not person to person), “Deny, deny, DENY!”
The great thing about epistolary stories in general, and this series in particular, is that everything is in the subtext. And even though this takes place in the U.S., it’s so drily British! I hate this almost as much as Kingsley hates Amberly
This is really hilarious, and a strong hook (no pun intended, don’t you hate it when people say “no pun intended” when they obviously intended the pun and want to make sure you noticed it?) to what sounds like the beginning of a really fun adventure. I’ll be looking to read more…
Knowing NYC won’t help you decipher the hidden message, but you may get more recognition of its meaning if you know the city and are able to decipher the message…
This was a good scene about a suicide contemplated. Just a couple of spelling issues. Corpse is a dead body, while corps is a military unit, larger than a brigade. Also, serenity is spelled with two “e”’s. Other than that, nice job!
Okay, I’m not going to give you the clue for my hidden message until next week. I want to see how many people can figure this out for themselves. Send me a private note if you think you’ve got it.
I believe, although I’m not 100% sure, that each line has seen itself in a Peanuts strip at one point or another over the years. They are all collected in the song, “Great Writer” from the musical, Snoopy. and here’s a link to those lyrics…
Speaking on behalf of my half of the species, most of us are dopey 98% of the time, especially at that age. Don’t let them get to you. Eventually we all come around.
Haha! I guess not every superhero gets to have the grand exit of getting shot on the steps of the Supreme Court (Captain America) while awaiting a trial to test his principles, or fighting a cosmic being much stronger than her to save her cousin and her universe (Supergirl)
