Another stupid memo. But I suppose that's redundant: all memos here are stupid. Idiot managers showering their "wisdom" down upon the lower creatures. I'm Brenda, an editor for - well - for one of those faceless, large corporations. My job is to try to improve the prose issuing forth, which, of course, is a frustrating job. No, not a "fustrating job" as s...
Swingerjoe recently wrote an alternate ending to One, Fifty or One Hundred. And it probably upset me as much as the original story upset swingerjoe if the speed at which he put out another story is any indication. I have, on occasion written an alternative, but now I am writing an alternative to an alternative. Something to fill in the blanks. Why? Well,...
Hello you naughty girls and boys! This is just something fun I did a while back and I thought you might find it interesting. This isn't an in depth look at word count and what to or not to do, but it is an example of cutting or adding words. I hope you find it interesting. If you provide feedback, I'd love to hear which version is your favorite. ***** Lo...
Do you remember that day? I think you do. You should remember it exceptionally well. In fact, it was a winter day in July. You had been over at my house just as a friend but when we woke up in the morning, we realised how cold it had got overnight. Whenever we had a rainy day, followed by freezing cold, we ended up with black ice. Black ice is transparent an...
"What do you mean you don't have the rent? You know it's due on the 1st of each month," Maggie said. "I don't have it this month. I'll pay you double next month," I said, "Besides, you're looking really fine today Mags." "Buuuuullshit! I let you off last month when you paid ten days late. Your sweet talking won't work this time, Ben," she responded. We w...
No sex. No one gets fucked either...but someone gets bent over. The minivan wheeled down the suburban drive. One could tell by the lack of density of houses that this was the Land of McMansion. It made for a pleasant drive, with actual trees and landscaping in the development. "DAD! Where are we going?" Erin asked from the back, looking up for three sec...
Melanie's eyes made their way back over to the clock... 15 more minutes to go. Would he be early? Late? Hey! Maybe Robin wouldn't even show up. For all she knew, he might have forgotten entirely all about the arrangement made a week ago and she'd been agonizing for days for absolutely nothing. This whole stupid, STUPID thing had started with that damned c...
Eros' unnamed replacement original concept by Rubyswallows, everything else is the product of my own boredom. Chapter 1 I fucking hate Valentine's day. Valentine was an alter-boy-loving... Emotions... control... That's better. Where was I? Today is the day boys run to Safeway at the last minute and buy whatever their month's allowance can get to tide an...
A Not So Funny Joke On Modern Times This Guy walks into a Bar....... As his eyes adjust to the dim lighting and his nose tries to adapt to the stench, Guy sees his PI sitting at the bar. He walked over next to her. While waiting for the bartender to come down to this end, Guy watches the eyes of the PI in the mirror. She tilts her head towards her right sh...
Well, I called Gail a couple days later as you might imagine. I was just so sure I was going to fuck this pretty little country girl the next time we got together. I went over to the little rental house they had on Hatteras st. and met her mother and little sister. They both seemed to like me. We went out for a drive and I took her down to Hollywood, figuri...
