The Drabblecast Forums

A great story, well-read -- just the reason I tune in to the Drabblecast. Nicely done.

Urrrrrrgh... *dies*

Nice one. Love the "skiing accident" detail.

If, that is, I have permission to do so.

Absolutely! Just let me know when it's up :)

I think I did at least moderately well for my first twabble, haha.

I enjoyed it :)

I had to read it twice too, but it was worth it! Nicely done.

I was reading wikis about it for an hour and still don't get the point why this is bad. However there is a similar story somewhere out there (lost the name however) about monks and a computer-company calculating all possible names of god. After the programm finished, stars went out above the main c...

What makes you think he values that? For pete's sake, the guy named a reindeer "Vixen". You do the math.

Unfortunately, the drugs wore off midway through the Presidential debate. Too bad; they helped. I gripped the podium.

(ETA: Thanks for the suggestion, strawman)

Burma Shave.

I wonder if it would be worth adding to the submission guidelines a suggestion to (at the end of the story) make a note about the pronunciations of any words or names that might be mispronounced?

Yay! I love puppets!

I only trust people as far as I can throw them… That’s why I like babies best. (LOL, you got me started.) That’s why I live by a cliff. That’s why I joined Weight watchers. That’ why I built a catapult. I’ve been working on my trust issues. Don’t let that throw you. Technology helps. Dead people ar...

The comments on that thread are almost as good as the story. Some other big creatures, including that tongue worm thing.

AUGH! I'm never going to get that tongue picture out of my brain, no matter how many holes I drill!

Hah! I have to admit, I've never made the Scarecrow/zombie connection before. Nice one.

Aw shucks, you guys are making me blush :) I'm glad you enjoyed the stories! And I agree: the voices were absolutely spot-on. They sounded just like they did in my head... Um. Not that I hear voices in my head, or anything.

Ernie leaned over the railing and shouted “Echo!” into the Grand Canyon. Instead of the faint “…echo…” he expected, however, the ground began to shake. “I” boomed a great voice like a volcano exploding. Tourists clutched for railings, some even fell screaming into the great sandstone maw. “HAVE HAD”...

Though he'd never been a particularly hairy man, now that the ice age had returned, he regretted the laser hair removal. That's, er... cool, but why would you want laser hairs? :? :P Are you insane? Why wouldn't you want laser hairs? I spent the better part of the 80s openly wanting laser hairs, an...

Are they... sand dollars??? Ahahaha, I kill me!

The ambassador from Pi was simply impossible to negotiate with. She was, like the rest of her kind, totally irrational. Not bad. Perhaps: The ambassador from Pi was impossible to negotiate with, being fully irrational. She won anyway. She was rounded well. I imagine we could take the pi-meme and ju...

It's an interesting point. At what point, when using outside tools and information, does the creative process become simple assembly?
