CONGRATULATIONS, dadioflex!

You can find links to the entries on this page (scroll down to the part that says Folk Tales of the Final Frontier for the list... although the last two entries, originally posted in the password-protected drop box, were only visible long enough to be previewed for the challenge):

http://thefridaychallenge.blogspot.com/2010/04/friday-challenge-43010.html

... and you can find the VERY detailed analysis by the ruling troika of judges on this page:

dadioflex' winning entry, "Assault and Buttery," is linked under the name of "Anton Gully" at The Black Dogs of Despair Reading Room.

Edit: Oops... simultaneous typing! Hi there, dadioflex.

Edit 2: Future updates for The Friday Challenge will be posted in the other thread.

Be warned, however, it IS hilarious. I can't be held responsible for anyone busting a gut laughing.

Assault and Buttery
Loved it! My favorite part was the scene in the kitchen at the end.

.

That's two that I've seen and read (The Folly of the Paper Book <on MR is the other). Are you going to put all your short stories into a book?

I've been thinking about putting a Smashwords anthology together but, to echo what Dusty Moejoe has been saying, my heart just hasn't been in writing lately. It all seems so futile. It's still something I'd like to try. I have old stories that I could do a much better job with now that I have almost a year of semi-regular writing experience under my belt. My perennial problem is that it's so difficult to find the time when there are video games going unplayed and booze that hasn't been quaffed yet.

I know exactly what you mean - though with me it's art ....
