Well I can honestly say that I can't wait for my chapter. This is gonna be great! With great luck, no one will make it too serious in the meanwhile, because this has such fantastic comic potential.

Well done!

That's the way to do it.

Actually giving life to the Fairy bones. I like it. Was personally staying away from that particular plot possibility to try something new, but yours worked it, short and sweet.

Hmmm no contestants eh? I guess that would make me a shoo-in? Gimme a day or two to get all the background info and another day or so to formulate my mash, and I'll try and make it worthy. Have patience, there are still some of us willing to challenge the leaderboard.

Blackhand, only have 1 correction and someone already pointed it out. "Irregardless" isn't a word. But other than that, your piece creeped me out to the extreme. Excellently written, and you're right about the MHP. You have to know sane and insane, and mister, you write insane well enough indeed.

Never tried comedy before. Could be interesting. Put me down for a spot Honeygloom, if there are spots left to be had.

An interesting little piece. I felt the setting left a little to be desired. The character's on the sand, but the rocky sand of a lake beach or the soft sun-warmed sand of the ocean? Of course, it could just be that the character was too drunk to pay close enough attention. Not your best piece, but certainly an interesting beginning.

Greetings All,

I'm Jackoalltrades, though I prefer Jack with my friends here on SM. Quicker to write. Anyway, I'm a college student in North Carolina (though I'm a New Jersey transplant) who generally has a lot of time on his hands, and then loses all that time, so I get streaks on SM where I tear it up and then disappear for a month or two. Writing is my first love, and though I tend to focus on fantasy storylines, I've been known to switch it up and mash various other genres of plotlines. I've been writing since about the age of 5, and I remember getting odd looks from my 8th grade english teacher about a creative short story about skeletons attacking me while playing Age of Empires. That was a fun one to create.

I'm a prodigious reader of fantasy and SciFi, though I began with the Hardy Boys and Tom Clancy and Jack Higgins. I always enjoy choosing random stories to glance through, and it has generally proven an effective method to find the diamonds in the rough..Aladdin reference anyone? I'm also a gigantic movie buff, which means I have a tendency to pick through character builds and plotlines from all the movies and books I immerse myself in.

I look forward to spending another streak on SM for a while, and I can't wait to get cracking on a few more chapters of my Trader Chronicles. Excellent series, I recommend to all ;)

Remember, your imagination is your soul. So don't be boring.

Jack

This was very amusing. I enjoyed it greatly. I liked the play style it was written in, and the story was interesting, to say the least. Why rob Tom Brady, besides the fact that he's absurdly well off? Your characters were superb, and their interaction was colorful and playful and just a lot of fun to read.

An interesting collection of thoughts...knowing human nature we will most likely be the conquerors, or at least the attempted conquerors.

A short poetic piece inspired by a night sky with rippled clouds.
Tags: poetry
This is a connector piece, a way to end this part of the story and maybe touch upon the bad guy...as all good fantasy novels do. If you read this, I'm not publishing yet. Tell me if it's up to par.
Is this mysterious girl here to rescue Matt from his dull and dreary life? Or is she there with a more malicious purpose?
Something to think about.
He figures out the vampire's weakness: Onions.
A poet loses his love and dire inspiration compels his hand.
Donald discovers that nothing is as it seems with his discovery of the country of Luxembourg.
Donald discovers a new side of himself.
Life goes on. But what is life with(out) a vampire?
Thought I'd change it up a bit. Spin the telling ever so slightly.
This was an idea that came to me on a plane flight. Felt like fun so let's see how you like it.
Trawdley's voice, while experimenting with different speech patterns, was even creeping ME out. Imagine a whispering Igor with a lisp who a heavy German accent. Also, Sley is pronounced like "sleigh".
This is something I started a long time ago. The writing is a little juvenile, the little that I've published, but it could be a good start to something.
