I played until it became too complicated for my tastes. It was fun.

EnWorld Short Story Smackdown is a good idea. Sign me up for it. Congrats, carpedavid! I haven't read your last story yet but the ones before were of such consistent quality that no matter what you earned your win. I guess that makes me the guy who lost to the guy who lost to the guy who lost...

Yeah, but then I had to go on vacation. Had to.

I haven't yet read the final stories, and I likely won't be able to this week, but I, too, want to know who won!

Just think of the last round as double xp weekend... it'll work out.

Especially if you know that Screech now makes adult movies...

I like him! I really like him. Tear out my fingernails one by one I like him! I don't have a very good reason Since I've been with him cuckoonuts have been In season! But there is nothing I can do Chop me up for onion stew Still I'll yell to the sky Though I can't tell you why That I like him

Geek! I agree, though. As for most statements to that effect, one only has to look at "Sandman" for evidence.

Congrats Rodrigo and carpedavid! And Piratecat, don't let this keep you from competing again – you'll get better eventually :) Though I'm a little disappointed that now I can't say I lost to the winner...

At least I wouldn't participate in a contest that used song lyrics as a starting point. In my opinion, songs are already heavily slanted, and in text form. With an image, I can take what I see about it and put it into words. But when I have lyrics – what am I doing there, as a writer? I...

What was it about? We're a little bit behind in Germany; just had the "Coming out of the closet" episode.

I listen to a podcast where the panel plays a game each episode, and in the forum thread of the episode, someone keeps track of the statistics of each panelist. Invariably, people get spoiled by the statistics as to who wins or loses this time as they enter the thread before listening. It has...

EN World's Short Tournament of Fictional Uniqueness? (EN World STFU)

I'd actually be for changing the name, because when I talk about CDM, I usually either leave the name off or feel the need to explain where it came from, which has not much to do with the proceedings anyway. I'm for a descriptive title, something like "pictures birth story in three days, make...

You know, that is fine with copy&paste, but when you consider that for SHINING, all those pages were actually typed up... the woman who did it probably wakes up screaming from dreaming about it to this day.

Well, the topic of this thread is not "300 rocks my socks off" but "300 seconds of the movie 300", i.e. a discussion about the clip and, by extension, the movie. So negative opinions have just as much place here as positive ones. In my not so humble opinion.

Am I allowed to critisize the clip based on the – to me (heya shilsen ;)) – use of slow motion in nearly the full 10 minutes? I didn't like the green-screen/slowmo-played-at-full-speed look of that at all.

I don't think I'll ever get over the way Bachelor of Science is usually abbreviated: "All you need is a BS degree!"

Hell, yeah. It's like magic in bad fantasy novels, now it works this way, now that way, and now it doesn't work at all, because it wouldn't be exciting if it did. And just because I didn't mention it earlier: The clue was super genius. Meet the Green Bay Packers – the meat packer on Greene...

Comments, pt. 2 Rodrigo: An excellent story! You pick up where PC left off – with religion. Even though I was late, I couldn't leave before I'd finished the story. The protagonist came off believable, and the sect as very creepy indeed. One thing I'm not sure about is whether in the end, Emily...
