DISCUSSION THREAD -- February 2024 -- 75 Word Writing Challenge

[nixie]

I fly out to Tanzania on Monday with my son for our attempt to climb Kilimanjaro.

Back on March 5th

That has come round quick, only seems a couple of month since you first told us.

Too quick.

Apologies. Please don't let this derail the thread.

 

[Elckerlyc]

Well, it is a challenge...

 

[Bowler1]

Too quick.

Apologies. Please don't let this derail the thread.

Honestly... why can't you use a time machine. There's at least half a dozen knocking around and not being used.

 

[Luiglin]

Ok, got some time to think about the 75.

Theme - Destiny - ok, I can do that.

Genre - Romantasy - wait, what?

Nope, just nope. No chance... unless I can do something horrid with it? Is that possible? I've not got the Dark Lord married off yet.

Even if we weren't in the sombre family times, I can't write romance. So, may have to give this one a miss.

Teresa Edgerton: Roses are red, violets are blue; to love and to hate are just one thing, not two.

 

[Parson]

@Teresa Edgerton .... Happily Ever . . . Well, Eventually .... A story that makes me wonder about King Charles.

 

[nixie]

I finally got something after my niece asked me who someone was.

 

[Teresa Edgerton]

For most of this month (as it has been for the last several months) my mind was an absolute blank when I tried to think of story. But I thought that if this month's particular theme and genre didn't inspire me to produce something, so that I could at least participate, then I was a pretty hopeless case.

So when an idea came to me, I went with it.

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

nixie: Roses are red, violets are blue; your end is another beginning for you.

Yozh: Roses are red, violets are blue; the best things can sometimes be found at the zoo.

 

[Parson]

@nixie .... Love Crosses all Barriers .... A story which makes me wonder if oblivion is only a figment of the imagination.

@Yozh .... Love Looks Familiar .... A story which gives the idea of pulling a rabbit out of your hat a whole new nuance.

 

[emrosenagel]

I'm not sure I've ever read a proper romantasy. Fantasy with romance, sure. But romance with fantasy? If I have, it wasn't memorable. I've given it my best effort and went with a twist on enemies to lovers. I wonder if anyone will get the title?

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

emrosenagel: Roses are red, violets are blue; make sure that your message conveys what is due.

Peter V: Roses are red, violets are blue; a lie is less powerful than what is true.

 

[Parson]

@emrosenagel .... Destiny Over the Telephone .... A story which makes me wonder if fate has a sense of humor.

@Peter V .... Under the Clock in Grand Central .... A story which makes me wonder about the role of truth in love.

@JS Wiig .... One Fine Day While Gathering Mushrooms in the Fairy Forest… .... A story which makes wonder about love and nursing.

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

JS Wiig: Roses are red, violets are blue; time is the thing that makes one from two.

Parson: Roses are red, violets are blue; lust, unlike love, begins at first view.

 

[AnRoinnUltra]

Great reviews going on this month ...the one for 'A Village Girl and the Curse of Aphrodite' would make a killer opening line for a story

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

Bren G: Roses are red, violets are blue; connaitre une autre langue est bon pour vous.

 

[Parson]

@Bren G .... Language of Love .... A story that makes me wonder if magic is the language of love or something else.

@Christine Wheelwright .... Love Can Be Bad for Your Elf .... A story which makes me wonder if there was any elf understanding.

 

[Parson]

@M. Robert Gibson .... A Charming Tale .... A story that makes me wonder if there was an "or else" in Charming's story.

 

[Ursa major]

I'm in, and just in time...






...to be a day and a bit earlier than usual....
