The Great Absolute Write Spec Fiction Anthology!

Lol, Bunny


More serious (ish) names - what about using part of a quote by a writer?

Absolute Freedom: A person is a fool to become a writer. His only compensation is absolute freedom. Roald Dahl

Absolute Paradox: Every experience is a paradox in that it means to be absolute, and yet is relative; in that it somehow always goes beyond itself and yet never escapes itself. TS Eliot

Absolute Nobodies: I'm sick of not having the courage to be an absolute nobody. JD Salinger.

Absolute Madness: When doubts change into certainties, then the passion either ceases or turns absolute madness. Francios de La Rochefoucauld

You guys are on a roll!

I saw the cutest halloween outfit for a baby a few weeks ago when I was looking at a mag in the drs office.

It had a stuffed baby onsie that made it look like a green inch worm, and a stuffed "book" layed open that you lay them on, for rolling the baby in the stroller... making the baby a ... BOOKWORM.

I think you need this Wyrme. "D

If she gets him that costume, then pics are a must.

aw, little Wyrme's first Halloween.

Yes, then pics are a must! How cute!

If the pellet with the poison (i.e. the Rejection) is in the Flagon with the Dragon, then does the Chalice from the Palace hold the brew that is true (i.e. the Acceptance)?

The fox is in the henhouse. I repeat, the fox is in the henhouse.






I thought it was secret code day. If you have a reply to my code, plz do not rep or contact me in any way, shape, or form.

OK, this might be showing my age, but this made me grin really really big. Makes me want to raid my dad's collection for The Court Jester.

And then they broke the chalice and replaced it with the flagon - the flagon with the dragon...

Yeah, the magnatized armor made so by the lightning strike was perfect. Genius. I love Danny Kay.

Good golly you are right - I cannot remember either... hmm... unless we Google it. (but that would be cheating)

The vessel with the pestle replaced the chalice with the palace, which they broke, remember? But it was the one that had held the poison, as I recall, so they then had to move the pellet with the poison to the flagon with the dragon which USED to hold the brew that was true... (I LOVE that movie)

From IMDB quotes:

Hawkins: I've got it! I've got it! The pellet with the poison's in the vessel with the pestle; the chalice from the palace has the brew that is true! Right?
Griselda: Right. But there's been a change: they broke the chalice from the palace!
Hawkins: They *broke* the chalice from the palace?
Griselda: And replaced it with a flagon.
Hawkins: A flagon...?
Griselda: With the figure of a dragon.
Hawkins: Flagon with a dragon.
Griselda: Right.
Hawkins: But did you put the pellet with the poison in the vessel with the pestle?
Griselda: No! The pellet with the poison's in the flagon with the dragon! The vessel with the pestle has the brew that is true!
Hawkins: The pellet with the poison's in the flagon with the dragon; the vessel with the pestle has the brew that is true.
Griselda: Just remember that.


And there we go.

Hahahahahaaaa!

Mac's had to delay the rejections, because the anthology is being reworked to fit in all the excellent poetry we've been providing.

New working title;

Absolute Vodka: A means to an end.

This is why I keep coming back to this thread: I can be pretty sure I'm gonna get a giggle out of it.

Ohmigosh! That sounds adorable! I'll have to look for it, see if I can find it in time for holloween.

Yes, you never know what will be on this thread...

No dragon poetry - this place has just gone down hill...

And unfortunately I can't think of anything either at this moment.

It's just taking a breather. Just watch. Something really cool will be posted here before you know it.


But this post probably isn't it.

Little licky
Slightly sticky
Lap of forked tongue

In the cellar
Where the dweller
Learned to pull the bung

In the alley
Dilly dally
Wino sees the thing

Reptile dweller
From the cellar
Leap to parchment wing

O were the skies afire?
The winged flying higher?
On yon lofty parapet
A scary scaly silhouette?

No.

In the morning
Without warning
Screaming lizard spawn

Dawn light rosy
Warm and cozy
Winged creature gone.

I look ahead
To downy bed
And wonder, with a yawn

In what fashion
And with passion
Was he really stung?

Singed with fire
Did the liar
Refuse sticky tongue?

Oh sweet baby Jesus.

What Laura said.

That bad, huh?


Damn.
Guess I'll stick to prose.

Not...bad. Interesting, in a head-hurting way. I'll refrain from inflicting my dragon poetry upon everyone. My poetry is a capital offense, according to some of my friends.

I'm just waiting to see if my AW story gets accepted or not, so I can turn around and launch it off to the Q1 2012 Writers of the Future contest. I have two stories lined up for them, but the one I sent to Mac is the strongest. Fortunately, the quarter is open until Dec 31, so I have time.

Not bad, just... long. Yeah, that's it. Too long.

Not bad, not long. I like it.
