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.
Squidge posted an update 6 years, 8 months ago

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;

Thanks Kate, good comp.
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… 😬

Some 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?

@sandradavies You choose the BEST character names! 😀
- Sandra replied 6 years, 8 months ago
  
  Zephaniah (surname Poole) is a family name – wish I’d known that before I had my children!
  - Raine replied 6 years, 8 months ago
    
    Zephaniah is such a great name. I kind of want it (for myself, not for this challenge!)

  I was a member, then suddenly realised I wasn’t. Not sure what happened?
  - Athelstone replied 6 years, 8 months ago
    
    Yep, according to the group activity you joined 5 days ago – and 3 hours ago. Don’t know what happened there except that I admire your enthusiasm.

      So good you joined it twice?
Raine posted an update 6 years, 8 months ago

How’re things, Denizens? Hurray and thanks to @athelstone for managing to drag me out of my cave to sign up for his splendid comp. *crawls back into cave to mull choices*
- Athelstone replied 6 years, 8 months ago
  
  Thanks for the thanks, though I assure you there are plenty of selfich reasons to run the comp – it’s fun for starters.
  Can’t speak for the Denizens, but things are fine for me. How about you?
  - Raine replied 6 years, 8 months ago
    
    Things are a bit bleurgh tbh. Hence the cave. So am extra glad of the challenge this year. 🙂
