[quote author=frank3.16]Wow!!!!!! Did anybody see this? My story just made it to the front page.

Can u belive this is my fourth story on nairaland and they all made it to the front page... I really need some body to hug (female especially) and cry tears of joy on his/HER shoulder.

I love nairaland.[/quote]i hope hugging is not over oh.

Oya come hug, cry and lean on my shoulders too, congrats!

good thing you Mazi didnt freaking re-shuffle the process cos some people didn't live up to their declarations, it should be their loss not ours. jeez!

aunty repo! Habatically na!

Okay then Frank. Just so you know that your story is simply amazing.

[quote author=frank3.16]I am long gone communicating with me. I went for a burial and it was a celebration of life, cos the deceased lived a very long life. The booze flowed in dozens.[/quote]well then, cheers to a life well lived.

Inbetween, you need to teach me on how to do this communication with inner sef thingy, if yours could produce such wonderful story with a unique plot, then i need to learn also

#even though ASUU is killing me softly, i still say all is well

^thanks Kslib for reading.

and without the 'a' in my wonderful name, all is still well

[quote author=frank3.16]all right guys, chapter seven continues tomorrow. Meanwhile please forgive me for the so many typos i forsee in this update. i managed to write it during the weekend even thought i was not sober most times. thanks[/quote]not sober most times? Weren't you supposed to be communicating with ur inner spirit?

[quote author=Foxy_Flow]I love you too...

Tell me you don't miss me. [/quote]just return my kiss first

Its either most people take the competition very trivial or they just don't care.

I mean, Spacing and paragraphing was emphasized at the start, yet some didn't pay heed or try to pay heed. (no excuse, cos some writers actually spaced!)

Would have thought some of 'em would do a crash course with Google and get a better perspective of what a short story is all about. But sadly, I didn't see the tell tale signs on some stories... I mean its just a click away! Foresight people, foresight!

And what is it with brackets and side comment. Me thinks it ends up trivializing the work, why not use the dash (-) parenthesis for anything that must be said aside, or better still let the bracketed words flow with the overall narration. How can you describe a character in a bracket! Jeez.

And really, spellings shouldn't be defended here, seeing this is a competition that allowed some space of time for the writers to work on their piece, typos should be a no no! Maybe bad sentence construction and misplaced tenses here and there can be overlooked because not everyone know the rudiments of the English language, but spellings should have been corrected, this is a competition for real. Even if there wasn't a price, what about the prestige guyz! Ain't that worth a fight?

And why would anyone use text message English, abbreviated and all! ''cox'' ''omg'' really

Some people seem to take this thing for granted, that's what i still think. A short story should have a complete theme, telling a story from beginning to end.


Phew, I hope subsequent posts would get better.

So far so good, nice stories have been trickling in, and well i got just a tiny 'little' something something for each...

- Miss fibre, you must be an ardent reader of the biblical Revelation book, cos your piece got my mind wandering...

- Plain mirror, obviously you think literature is limited to flows' chistar and foxy autobiographical piece, please read wider, you need other influence. Thank you.

- Rovyer, with an all round developed elements of writing, i guess i can say you did your homework well?

- Kslib - all is indeed well with your good descriptive prowess. But as my lecturer would often say 'over skill kill monkey'

Nugess; If that was not a short story indeed, then was it? Hmm, i guess you did your homework well

- Bestluv58, you obviously watch too much Nollywood.

- Sammyhoe, complex grammar don't necessarily sell a work. You'd be surprised at how simple and correct everyday English tinged with little 'high tech' vocabulary can help you sell millions.

- Rubyspice, you put the short upon the short in a short story. I know you can allow the words flow more!

- nastydroid - 'The end' left me speechless and I was like 'Has the story ended, when it only just began?'

- Sambroose- Maybe after you separate dialogues from narration, I can know where to hold. You are a literature section regular right?

Damexx - you, like some others are fighting cat and dog with the phrase 'please space your works' and to think it was emphasised!




That's all I've seen, so am pleading with others, take the bull by the horn already! Criticism don't kill for jeez sake!

chinedumo: this girl has a nice rapport with fellow writers.

I didn't know chistar didn't know that it should be '6th sense'.

I was thinking he was bringing out another meaning with '5th sense'.

Like I see people write '5th dimension'.

In my view this story was rushed.
Chistar lost his will to continue.
It seemed pointless.
This story had little ambition and focus unlike 'my complicated love story'.

The motive of this story i think is to throw light to why he was who he was at 'my complicated love story'.

I think princsa can bear me witness.

I beleive that what makes chistar outstanding is that he writes 'his true life story. Not fiction and fantasy.

Chistar portrayed true life as more romantic than many fantasies.

thanks mister, since we are on the same 'molue' heading to 'siberia' i must rapport wella, unless i miss my way


and as for him rushing, well i will cut him some slack, cos it ain't easy. Sh.it happen always.

[quote author=Foxy_Flow]Omolola, ERF, Princesa, Mazi, HBG... I am sorry for being a pain in the a''rse. I have changed o.

Make nobody call my name again, please![/quote]Taa! Come to mama Jo, let me 'pet' you to sleep

Phew! Finally. You've achieved a feat and created a mark for yourself on literature section, 2 completed stories already and a large fan base of readers and followers, kudos dude, you should be proud of urself



as for the story, I've always wished i went to a boarding school because the stories that the boarders ever have to tell always intrigue me... But as it is, i wouldn't want my kids going to a boarding school still. Ironic hunh?

And...


#the phrase is actually the 'sixth sense' not 'the fifth sense'. We already have five natural senses and it is assumed that 'a sixth' sense helps people get insight, foresight, feelings or gut instincts of things than they should.


Welldone, i say again
