And a fine tale resulteth. 5 shines gongs for thee.
Clever
A lot going on in this short little romp. If only taking advice was this effective. Amusing twist, I sense possible antecedents to a 'geek pride' entry in May.
Great fun. Great twist. Reminded me of my own time helping CS students. And yes, you somehow packed a tremendous amount in there.
Thanks to everyone for reading and favoriting and special thanks to Spencer, Vix, yowser, and SyleusSnow for your comments. It was a fun little piece to write within the 750 word limit, so I'm glad it came across as intended and that you enjoyed it.
You did a really nice job with the pacing of this story. It's difficult to tell a story in 750 words without it feeling rushed. You have a good feel for how much time to spend on each scene and what details to include or omit. Thanks for sharing!
You caught me with “Haying Time,” and now I’m working my way back through your stories. I’m having a great time!
Thanks for writing them, and thanks for sharing your work.
Short but sweet
Confidence, plus a haircut is all it takes? Lead on, oh Great Mage. Tell us more about how to get into a young half-elven cleric's panties. Thoroughly enjoyed this story.
Just noticed this was nominated for a Reader's Choice Award. Really enjoyed how it played out, especially what you managed to accomplish in so few words. Well done!
Loved it short and sweet and I did not see that ending coming at all. Wonderful.
☝ That was FUN. 😁
I had the exact same job as him in college, but not quite the same results.
This was fantastic! It reminded me of "The Gift Of The Magi" by O'Henry. The ironic twist was dead on. And in just 750 words, you had me falling in love with Dani myself.
