A comprehensive quiz + bonus fan faction about the the underrated cult classic show "Kelly Unicornstrider and Friends" (1982-1985). Questions range from really easy to really difficult.

I think putting this on "publish" makes it so only we can see this. It's just for us, sweetie. I made it to celebrate our anniversary and remember some special intimate moments together over the years in an interesting way as a present for you.

I hope you love it, Natalie, as much as I love you!

(Of course if there's any admin looking at this, or if I messed up, don't read this, because it's got private things in it.)

This is my required report to the full faculty in accordance with the rules noted in the Faculty Handbook (version 15.1, as of October 2017)

"Personally I can only read 16 words in one go before words stop working," wrote Mizal.

This game has sixteen words per path.  Not counting "The End."  So you can play quickly.

When reviewing, please use precisely sixteen words.   That should be plenty for your suggestions and observations.

Note this challenge connected with this game:  Write the Last Page!

We needn't argue what sounds good to us, but most of those are perfectly ordinary cumulatives.

We were rounding the southern coast of Africa, and while we were due to stop in the port of Durban in a few days for some much needed supplies, I found myself praying more than a few times for something to break the utter blandness of hardtack and beer, the monotony of looking out at the horizon and seeing the same thing day after day.

That structure is perfectly natural and so ordinary in good literature as to be completely unworthy of notice.  In fact, your own sentence, "However, I feel like there are actually farrrrr too many commas, with almost every sentence including at least one" is pretty much a flavor of cumulative sentence structure.  Doesn't it sound nice to say "...too many commas, with almost every sentence including at least one"?

As opposed to

"there are actually farrrrr too many commas; almost every sentence includes at least one"

or

"there are actually farrrrr too many commas, and almost every sentence includes at least one"

or

"there are actually farrrrr too many commas.  Almost every sentence includes at least one."

Once you get the cumulative sentence structure under your skin, you'll see it everywhere, its insidious sound getting right under your skin.

There *are* a lot of commas, and most of them are employed quite skillfully, employing cumulative connections and generally mixing up sentence structures nicely to create an interesting prose rhythm.

I'm *fairly* sure the new posts thing has been around for a super long time.  But, yeah, hey-ho.

No, it is not true that every post has to be approved by moderation.  Just new users, as always.  No change has been made at all to moderation recently.  New threads in certain categories do have to be approved; I forget which, but just a few categories.

It's also not true that games have to have all genders and orientations.

Can you point out some of the comma splices that you have found in Story A?

Finally, a new comment to start the new Funny Comments thread with. 

Neither story obviously sucks here, which I find impressive.  Both have a story to tell, and both have reasonable prose.  I think B has more narrative control, and I like the prose style better, as well as the structure of the story.  I'm voting "B."

I don't think it would be better all in one thread.

Light comedy and classic old movies.  I don't want any angst or tension or sadness in my movies.  I don't need any extra emotions.  That's what I have kids for.

On the contrary, you should.  Write a bunch of stuff even if it isn't good.  The first million words is just for practice.
