Interesting prompt. Some call me, Baz. Some call me, Chris(real name).

What a fun idea. Who’d have thought there were so many weird and wonderful names for beige. I shall get my thinking cap on.

September comp’s up – realise it might be a bit quiet this month because of York, but looking forward to reading those who decide to give it a go.

I believe certain peeps have heard about comp placings for York this weekend…
Anyone else we don’t know about yet?!
Good luck to everyone who has been, commiserations to those who haven’t, and have a bloody good time the rest of you. x

Well done, @Squidge, great entry and well-done everyone it’s always good to read fresh stories from random prompts in order to find out how others’ cell receptors work (lol).

Right, many of you know I use paint samples as one of my writing prompts in creative writing sessions; now you get to have a go.
The samples are all beige/brown in colour. Your challenge is to pick one of the following names given to the shades of brown and give me a max of 400 words, using the name as a title. Your choices are;

Hello everybody, long time no speak!
Just having a mooch around and see there’s a new short story challenge on the go. But I can’t see anything about it. Only the first few lines of comments and a members’ list. No blog or any clue as to what’s going on. There’s apparently no forum yet, yet people are making choices – and I don’t know what the…[Read more]-
You need to join the group for the forum posts to show up.

Yep, it’s not as straightforward as the Cloud. I can’t believe I’m writing that, what with the numerous sets of instructions people were constantly posting back then for how to navigate. As Kate says, you need to join to see the forum and its posts, even though it’s an open group. Do join. Do have a go. Go on – you know you want to 🙂
-
Yes, do join. When you have joined you will find a sub menu for the group and if you select the “activity” menu you will see all the relevant threads and posts.

Hi Whisks! Waves excitedly…
-
Oh! THERE you all are. Thanks for the replies. Oh so you have to join to see if you want to join? Silly me. Okey dokey. I shall do exactly that. See you on the other side 😀

Kate replied to the topic Monthly comp – August in the forum Monthly Competition 6 years, 8 months ago
Thanks everyone for taking part. These were all such great pieces its been incredibly hard to decide on a winner, so a few brief thoughts on them:
Baz – This one gave me a real prickle. Loved the feel those open ended questions gave it, and the ending is as if you’re slamming a door.
John – Bravo. Love the message in the last line of the first…[Read more]

Kate replied to the topic Monthly comp – August in the forum Monthly Competition 6 years, 8 months ago
I’ve read them all and am completely stumped as to which to choose. Will have to sleep on it. Being as I’m having so much trouble, I am open to bribes… 😬

Songs of Innocence and Experience 6 years, 8 months agoSome intriguing choices being made. I hope that expectations are not knocked too far off kilter when the theme and meaning of the choices is revealed. I’m sure that kind, clever, wise, reliable and wholly impartial Jules will make my choices quite perfectly.

You’re not trying to butter me up there at all, are you, Ath?

Songs of Innocence and Experience 6 years, 8 months ago@sandradavies You choose the BEST character names! 😀

Zephaniah (surname Poole) is a family name – wish I’d known that before I had my children!
-
Zephaniah is such a great name. I kind of want it (for myself, not for this challenge!)
