Getting psyched for the new Igorrr album, and you are too! haha. I know it's coming. Too many singles being dropped. Also waiting for Nevermore and Old Man's Child, two bands I thought were lost.

My favorite Ozzy album, just barely.

:cry: Oh no. I've listened to thousands of hours of Ozzy. I'll listen to thousands more.

I think I know what you're talking about. The author starts writing everything in an immediate, as-it-happens state, and it comes off feeling like a diary which somehow trivializes the events. It's that first person perspective that traps you within the MC's senses. You start chronicling...

I saw the irascible guy again today. I waved at him. He nodded back, knowingly. He was terrorizing the neighborhood up on the east side. Teenagers peek out of their windows. They're scared because he owns these streets.

Today, I was going for a neighborhood stroll. I do a 4-mile loop. It takes a while. On mile three, while I was walking down the big road adjoining my neighborhood, this pudgy white-haired dude on a Rascal drives by me. He's not on the sidewalk. He's taking the right hand lane of traffic. This is...

1. Only one story per person. 2. You can submit your work elsewhere. The contest sub-forum is not publicly visible and so the work is still "unseen" by the net. I've seen publications state directly that they didn't care about this, and you can have stories in forums to be critiqued / edited...

"I wish I could play little league now. I'd be way better than before." — Mitch Hedberg

I like it. It's evocative. I'd sort it like so . . . Clothes discarded, done actively, not as a description Move quickly to the character, which you've naturally done Move to the setting to explain that the pool is near the ocean End on her thought. Vhairi let her biohazard suit crumple to the...

Cool. What was the contest prompt?

I didn't like "Underwater" that much. It was a beat-for-beat "Aliens" ripoff. I mean, it was cool seeing that Cthulhu thing at the end, just the visual of it. That was about it. My favorite cosmic horror movie of recent times was "The Color Out of Space." That was so well done. Oh, I did like...

It's like Beethoven's 9th. What came before was classic, but that final symphony was a triumph so complete that it can't possibly be forgotten. Okay, we're talking TV sci-fi here, and that's trivial in the grand scheme of things, but you know what I mean. I will say nothing of the final...

I remember that one, haha! The other great cat avatars were the cat wearing a lime like a helmet and that Kardashian cat sneering at the vegetables.

All this Ultima IV talk really takes me back. I had that on an Atari 800XL. I remember staying up late, drinking coke and eating chips, and wandering around that amazing map, talking to townsfolk, mixing reagents and such. I had that Atari running on two screens at once. One was a black and...
