  1. I just saw this and thought it was fun.
  2. My thoughts... One of Those Simple Voyages- seemed like just a portion of what was to be a longer work, I got a lot of Garrison Keillor vibes from it. Bob Seger Werewolf Hunter- Epic. Just absolutely epic. I'm a guy who loves a good pun, and your puns were amazing. Fate/Furious- I am not familiar with either universe, but I can definitely appreciate a good crossover. That being said, my unfamiliarity with the universes made it somewhat difficult to follow. There were some solid jokes in there, and I imagine a fair few I didn't catch. Unfortunately there were some pacing issues; unavoidable of course if it's taken directly from a larger work. Still, I would have loved to see a fully self-contained story in the premise. 315-342- Here's another one that could have been a monologue on NPR (that's not an insult; love me some NPR). I feel like there was no conflict real conflict though; at no point did I wonder whether or not the protagonist would be able to get out of the situation in which they found themselves, no suspense. I realize that the writing prompt was pretty open-ended and drama was not a prerequisite for entry, but I feel like without some struggle it is difficult to invest emotionally in the characters. Wildflowers-I've honestly never been a fan of the frog and the scorpion. I feel like the moral of the story is kind of messed up: a "certain kind of person" is inherently dangerous and should not be trusted on the individual level, no matter how friendly they seem. I dont know, ironic as it sounds given my own story I generally look for the good and try to assume the best about folks. That being said, I was thinking that the twist at the end would be that nothing would happen; the scorpion disembarks, thanks the frog, and the frog leaves with a newfound respect and clarity of mind. My own bias against the plot aside, the dialects were well captured and the story itself flowed very well.
  3. Eh, i get the majority of my socialization at work. Its great because i can check in and chat with folks, but i can always excuse myself because theres always like 8 other things that need to get done.
  4. The asshole who hasnt read my fanfictions? Anyways, id be the guy who isnt concerned because dead people arent the most sturdy things. Justlive life as normal, if a dead dude walks up to me id probably jist find a stick and take it out at the knees. Depending on the state of decay, its either not getting up again or not getting up again and also half stumps.
  5. Great prices on everything.
  6. I dont take protein, i give it.
  7. Im not a fan of alien documentaries, but i do like aliens fighting predators and x-men. You would too, if you read it.
  8. Better. Much better.
  9. Here's a song that isn't about love.
  10. Not much, whats up with you?
  11. I just ate 3 donuts.
  12. Id have to say my top soup would have been probably a butternut squash.
  13. Cheetarah gets naked, whole season filled with hot springs episodes.
  14. What was the last song that made you cry?
  15. Though, in the fourth story, Rick and Morty show up and Rick accuses me of stealing his schtick, then i spend the next couple chapters trying to get sued so at least lawyers will have to read my story in order to determine how much copywright infringement ive got going on.
  16. Hey now, the characters are lifted from other works but the plotlines and interactions are all my doing.
  17. Serious answer- I could probably beat people in a game of updog.
  18. Ah, well the analysis part is really where I crawl up my own ass.
  19. Accurate enough, but too long to be a tweet.
  20. I feel like my analysis of the work defends that choice in story structure, but the fact that I had to write 2.5 pages explaining the symbolism used in a 3 page story... Well, I'll try again next time.
