Default Word Vault Flash Fiction: WBQ25 - Comments


This is the place to put your comments about the Word Vault Flash Fiction Contest entries! Please encourage and help fellow writers by sharing your thoughts here.

If you have entered the contest and see a comment here that makes you want to change your entry, please don't! Editing after you've posted will disqualify your work. The staff is happy to make minor spelling or spacing corrections for you, but significantly changing your piece after you submit it isn't fair to other people.

Thanks!

Also, once again, congradulation to last seasons winners Xantia and Calligraphy

Thank you, calligraphy. I thought it was funny too, though to be honest I sort of failed in what I'd intended; my plan was to use all of the given prompt words, but I only used five of them.

I lol'd at the use of "whittle"... since by then I was in on the joke! Weirdly, it reminded me of a Simpsons episode were Grampa Simpson reminisces about WWII by saying Hitler stole America's number 4, and they had to replace it with "diggity". Then he continues the story with "So, it was nineteen diggity-five"...!

moon's entry was witty and funny.

I would like to see it win, but that concept could be applied to any Flash Fiction contest, so it doesn't seem likely. :frown:
