I'm not crossing swords with you, bro. Chill out.

Too many questions!

I lost focus after the first score or so, and whilst scrolling down out of curiosity, became increasingly deflated and eventually gave up hope! It is Sunday morning for goodness sake Larry!

Hi Efe!!! Where've you been? Missed you a bunch!

Lol!

I'm good Larry. Hope you are too.

Just waiting on you and Mazi to bring back some va-va-voom to creative writing in the Lit section.

Efemenaxy1: Lol!

I'm good Larry. Hope you are too.

Just waiting on you and Mazi to bring back some va-va-voom to creative writing in the Lit section.

Will have to contact Chief Mazi about that. However, Dygeasy is creating something in relation to writers collaboration. Mazi has opted in; it'd be great to have you there as well.

Sounds interesting.

What's the theme? Yours was based on detective(ism) ... assuming such a word exists!

Link?

This is the discussion thread:www.nairaland.com/1792128/nairaland-story-season-2-discussion

Okay, will have a look...

Efemenaxy1: Okay, will have a look...


Did you open a new account?

LarrySun: 
Did you open a new account?

Nope same as before. My username is a victim of Seun's newly written, non-acceptance of non-alphanumric username code.

Efemenaxy1:

Yeah, the hyphen in my own username was murdered the same way. I like the other Efemena better.

Yeah, I did too.

Anyway, why not embark on the part 2 of your collaboration thread? Or better still, open up a new one with a different theme to it? The success from the first one should be a motivating factor to you in setting up another one...

Efemenaxy1: Yeah, I did too.

I'm thinking, perhaps, after Dygeasy's.

LarrySun:

Why after? Why not side-by-side?

It's not like you'll be poaching writers off him. Infact, variety is the spice of life. Give us choices jare. I'd rather do similar work to what you offered with your collaboration thread than to write about other users. I'm quite certain I'm not the only one with this opinion.

C'mon Larry.
