Naw. You were first. You just had the advantage of being able to eliminate yourself. Not really unfair. Way of the cookie and it's crumbling.

On that, Terpene deserves lots of credit. Got 3/4 first. And I kinda mucked up what that implied. Biggest hint of all.

Fun in any case.

I like that the final question was as to whether or not you were being deceptive. Paranoia was wrong.

So to conclude with self-deprecation:

Still with the deflections, you can't even admit wining....


Well done...

Intuition and logic it's an unbeatable combo

a reply to: Terpene

yeah no I just had the huge advantage that I knew for certain I didn't write a part of it.


My guess was 1/4 so... I declare myself Degradation33's sidekick and she said she leaped off you, so: Team Work!

Victory for Team Work!

Victory for the antidrama subforum as well.

A rare completely nonconfrontational thread. That works like antidepressants in the grand scheme of things.

Okay, back to arguing apologists...

antidrama subforum

What? You don't know how scary it was.

Down that dark narrow alleyway
I walked
to that battered and worn door
that led to a dimly lit
back room
where conspirators met.

Staying in the doorway
I dropped my package
Sweat beading on my brow
hyperventilating
pupils pinpointed
increasing the darkness

Fleeing finely to
the safety of the
Short Story Forum.

Okay from drama to non-drama.

My dear nugget1, lovely to see you partake of this nobel challenge.

Let's see, rolling the dice...



3/4, so close, and yet not quite there.



Oh, I've been playing since the moment you posted-my wheels were silently spinning away.


Do I only get one guess? I think I know the answer now.....

That's why I was confused.
Blend didn't enter the contest but there were a couple of poems submitted while the contest was going.

Writer number two is a leader both on and off the boards. Having the ability to multitask a thousand things at once and still contribute amazing, well written stories, as well as respond to every other story written (omg, he does that, doesn’t he?) let me introduce…

The third contributor normally writes very thought provoking, out of the box stories. Each paragraph leads perfectly into the next. After a short hiatus, he came back to once again present us with some well thought out and engaging reads. Without further ado….

Much Thanks, DTOM!

Congratulations to Everyone!!

A spectacularly successful challenge, thanks to all who participated.
