  14. On Whar be Pirate Pete?!:

    posted about 1 year ago

    Very good so far. Keep it coming.

  16. On What's So Civil About War, Anyway?:

    posted about 1 year ago

    Nice continuation. Good work, and also funny.

    As for your title, I was thinking of that line from Guns N Roses the whole time I was writing my story.

  17. On THE U.S.S. EMPRESS:

    posted about 1 year ago

    Nice beginning. I really liked this.

  23. On Home at last - and asleep:

    posted about 1 year ago

    I really enjoyed reading this story and writing my couple of small parts. I need to go back and read the whole thing. I can’t wait for them to add that type of feature to the site (you know, make it easy to read an entire story).

  24. On The Anonymous Blogger:

    posted about 1 year ago

    Thanks flirting. It was just an idea that kinda popped into my head. I’m glad you liked it.

  25. On Strange Things are Afoot at The Rusty Tailpipe:

    posted about 1 year ago

    Note to SJHundak/S.J.Willing – I hope you don’t mind that I sequeled “Time Keeps on Slippin’ ” too. I liked your piece, but I had something else in mind.

  26. On Time Machines Fly (CLFM 45):

    posted about 1 year ago

    Nice work and interesting idea (CLFM). Thanks for writing a sequel.

  27. On Refrigerator (pt. 2):

    posted about 1 year ago

    Good use of description. Wonder where this is going?

  28. On The worst day of my life (Part 2 with more snake):

    posted about 1 year ago

    SJHundak/S.J.Willing – I’m glad you liked it. This snake is definitely not evil. He’s one of the good guys.

  29. On Jesus' second coming:

    posted about 1 year ago

    So funny. Nice work here. I wonder if Connie’s husband (Maury Povich) will get to interview Jesus too?

  30. On The End of the World as We Know It:

    posted about 1 year ago

    Susan – thank you. This story is actually my favorite one I have written on this site. I hope to continue it at some point. Obviously, it was influenced by Douglas Adams, but hopefully it is still different enough.

  31. On Time Keeps on Slippin':

    posted about 1 year ago

    Susan – it was in one of the chapters describing the time machine, which I said was a metal halo with blinking lights. It was just mentioned in passing, though, so I could see how you missed it.

  32. On A Call to Himself becomes A Bogus Journey:

    posted about 1 year ago

    Susan, things just don’t work like they do in the movies :), or maybe he never gets another chance to travel in time to plant the sandbag :(

  33. On Did you think it would get normal?:

    posted about 1 year ago

    “The High Mouse felt that adding the 4 billion years to the report was more impressive than .5 billion years. He had always hated decimals.”

    :)

  34. On The Gift:

    posted about 1 year ago

    Tygertrot – what a nice thing to say. I’m glad you enjoyed reading this one. Your words inspire me to write more.

  35. On Please leave the planet:

    posted about 1 year ago

    He he he!

  36. On The Killer:

    posted about 1 year ago

    Nice imagery and mood.

  37. On Talking to Oneself (Moved):

    posted about 1 year ago

    Author’s Note: This was posted mistakenly a couple days ago as a standalone story. I am posting it now in its’ intentended place, as a sequel to “A Call to Himself becomes A Bogus Journey”. Sorry to those who read it twice.

  38. On Talking to Oneself:

    posted about 1 year ago

    This was meant as a sequel to my Ficlet “A Call to Himself becomes A Bogus Journey”. I have post it there as well. Sorry!

  39. On Shrubbery:

    posted about 1 year ago

    Nice beginning. Anxious to see what comes next.

  40. On frubjulous:

    posted about 1 year ago

    Uselessness – I’m glad someone enjoyed the reference. Thanks for the comment!

  43. On book holds the answers..yea. right..:

    posted about 1 year ago

    Yay Douglas Adams!

  44. On don the catfish:

    posted about 1 year ago

    “I am Hunter’s Catfish.” :)

  45. On Speech with the boss:

    posted about 1 year ago

    I like how you recapped the story. Good work.

  46. On Meet our leader:

    posted about 1 year ago

    “Don’t tell me to ‘Be the bunny’ again.”, I said. :)

  47. On Flying phobia:

    posted about 1 year ago

    “We need to get to Yankee Stadium before the cookie crumbles.” :)

  48. On The Problem with Inertia:

    posted about 1 year ago

    Nice job, especially bringing back Spokes.

  49. On Introducing Joe and Cindy - puppeteers:

    posted about 1 year ago

    This whole ficlet is great, particularly “The dragon began eyeing my body. “Would you like me to rid you of this awful growth?”, she asked the bunny slippers.

  50. On Were-bie?:

    posted about 1 year ago

    Funny. Good use of dialog. Nice work.

  51. On The Gift:

    posted about 1 year ago

    Thanks everyone for the comments.

    “I don’t think I have heard of a story line like this.” – thanks Susan, that is a real complement

  52. On The pigeon's role in this.:

    posted about 1 year ago

    It took me a while, but I finally got the “crummy” pun. I’m slow, I guess

  53. On The worst day of my life (Part 2 with more snake):

    posted about 1 year ago

    Susan – you could always use that idea for the dragon :)

  54. On DNA Designs:

    posted about 1 year ago

    You can never trust those guarantees! I enjoyed this one.

  55. On The worst day of my life.. :):

    posted about 1 year ago

    “I lifted the toilet lid and screamed.. That is part of my daily wake up ritual.”

    I liked this line. Also, the story has potential. Nice work!

  56. On Future Sam:

    posted about 1 year ago

    Susan those are good questions. I guess I was playing off the previous installment when he dropped the notebook stunned and placed a bid. He figured since he was bidding on a time machine, he was communicating with a future self. Or maybe I just thought it was funny :)

  57. On The Announcement:

    posted about 1 year ago

    Nice work and well written. Great use of dialog.

  58. On Heart Breaker:

    posted about 1 year ago

    Thanks Pockets! You are correct about that mixup. Duh on my part!

  59. On How to Buy a Time Machine:

    posted about 1 year ago

    Thanks Tintin. I would like to see a sequel or prequel.

  60. On How to Buy a Time Machine:

    posted about 1 year ago

    Note: This was inspired by a search I did on Ficlets yesterday for the tag “Time Travel”. The sponsored links did indeed contain a link to “Time Travel Machines” on eBay. I thought it would make an interesting story.

  61. On The Traveling Freak Show:

    posted about 1 year ago

    very nice.

  62. On The dance:

    posted about 1 year ago

    Very nice job. I can’t wait to see or write what’s next.

  63. On Do You Want to Meet a Pirate?:

    posted about 1 year ago

    Very nice story. I like it a lot. That is the catch with the space separating paragraphs, that counts as a character against you.

  64. On Surviving in a Vacuum:

    posted about 1 year ago

    The third paragraph was a little confusing, but I liked this entry overall, and am interested in what happens next.

  65. On The Gift:

    posted about 1 year ago

    Nathaniel – I will change the name. I’m not really into Half-Life, just picked a name. I will use a name generator and see what that comes up with. I generally don’t spend much time on character names.

  66. On The Lonely Whoosh of Space:

    posted about 1 year ago

    Robotech_Master – No I didn’t know that off the top of my head. I meant 35% of the ship’s overall normal oxygen level in the system (100% would be normal conditions), though this would be unclear from the ficlet.

  67. On Treed:

    posted about 1 year ago

    Well written and interesting. Good job.

  68. On Work Day Blues:

    posted about 1 year ago

    Nice beginning. I could see a story in which Emma becomes bored with the whole thing and works to undermine the company from the inside.

  69. On Tiffany Epiphany:

    posted about 1 year ago

    This made me smile. Very nice and a unique (to this site) take on dialogue.

  70. On Superpower Cafeteria Revelation:

    posted about 1 year ago

    Well done. You move the story along and introduce the concept of “when they were still trying to make us go to school”, which totally makes sense.

  71. On A St. Pat's Mugging:

    posted about 1 year ago

    Funny! I like this!

  72. On Birth of the Firefox:

    posted about 1 year ago

    Nice potential. I liked this line:

    He had contributed more to the firefox project than anyone before or since, and payed dearly with his pocketbook, social life, and finally his sanity.

  73. On Untitled:

    posted about 1 year ago

    Good story. Many possibilities.

  74. On Just Us Until the End:

    posted about 1 year ago

    Nice job!

  75. On Things get weirder:

    posted about 1 year ago

    Very good. Definitely makes me want to read the next chapter. I wouldn’t change a thing.

  76. On The End of the World - An Idea:

    posted about 1 year ago

    I wonder what they are going to build. Nice job. Good use of the “Place our head between our knees and kiss our butts goodbye?” line.

  77. On The End of the World as We Know It:

    posted about 1 year ago

    Excellent follow up. I want to see where this goes next.

  78. On A Friendly Overture:

    posted about 1 year ago

    You moved the story along nicely. I liked this. I feel embarrassed for the protagonist.

  79. On Sweet Carolina 3:

    posted about 1 year ago

    Nice work.

  80. On Sweet Carolina, Part I:

    posted about 1 year ago

    Very nice. Many possibilities to where it could go.
