A Matter of Timing

Good

I like the twist. However, this should probably be in a different category... possibly Sci-fi.

I would have liked it to be longer, also.

LMAO!

I didn't see that one coming!

Good Fiction***

Silly but still a good read. Thanks for the read.

Great Flash Story

Left me with a big grin.

thank you, thank you, thank you,

The funniest thing I have read in at least a week.

Never mind the arguments about category, it fits better than several others from the last month alone.

Thank You

Funniest story I've read in quite awhile. See what you mean by this could be in sci-fi. The possibilities are endless.

JUST LIKE WITH THE 1ST P/Cs AND NEW LAW HAD TO BE CREATED

with time travel and space warps...it may have already been done TK U MLJ LV NV

I understand the arguments about category.

It could have gone in humor, but giving that category alone would have deflected from the drama and easily predicted the punch line. Also, I felt the story was far too silly for SciFi, those serious geeks (and I'm one of them) would've guessed the ending in the first line and come up with so many plot holes in my thesis in these Comments longer than my original flash fiction. It was just a silly story that amused me, folks, the categories available just didn't appeal, and the Loving Wife ended up without a penny.

Yup! that was funny!

Thanks

Funny story, but...

Funny story, but wrong category...Sci/fic is the right one...

Excellent Story

Had a great chuckle over this one. Nice diversion. At least in this category you will have more readers. 5 stars and thanks for posting.

great story and funny keep writing stories like this 5 stars

Nice try

But no. That was just silly. And probably in the wrong category. But who cares. The attempt at cleverness failed so the category doesn't matter. It just wasn't interesting or entertaining. Too implausible even for fiction.

This is a lot of fun. Always a sucker for time travel stories:)

Great job!

I got a big chuckle and an out loud laugh at the ending. Thanks for the happiness that popped out. 5*

So that means he knowingly married his grand daughter.

And now he owes a shit pile of child support. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Nice

Short and funny. Comedy is hard, so congrats.

Liked It

I enjoyed the story. WTF about those who argue category. Who Cares.
None of my stories posted are loving wives but I post here for two reasons, no cheating wives category AND more importantly the people I want reading my stories read "loving wives" stories.
End of story.
Thanks

Funny and different

And fitting for loving wives,since Sci first was not the primary reason for the story.I liked the twist at the end,when he figured out how to beat the bitch at her own game....of course there is a paradox here,but so what?

3*s

HAHA ,ha or as they now write laugh out loud !

That's a good one!


AMerryMan

Been a while

Since I had a good chuckle from one of these.
5* just for the laugh.
Well done.

That was

very good.

5*

and if I hadn't lost my log in details, I'd favourite it, too!

good one lol

been a while since i had a laugh from an LW story :)

unfinshed story

A lovely story as far as it goes but it is unfinished. There is no resolution to the divorce hearing which is what the story is really about. The techno-magic is fun and interesting and there is a lot of scope for the judge's reaction to it. Does the austere, serious minded judge accept the evidence at face value or does she dismiss it?
What is the outcome of the hearing?
Come on, Spencerfiction. Please finish the story.

Excellent

Great little tale. Tells just enough to make this a great read.

Five Stars

Paradox

Wackdoodle, he did not know he married his granddaughter because "in his timeline" he hadn't fucked her grandmother yet. Think about it. He did not travel to her grandmother's time until driven there by the court case. Time travel fiction is so appealing because paradox is implausible but appears logically possible. It's like an optical illusion of stairs going both ways, it works from each perspective but is a trick of the way our brain interprets what it sees.

The court case comes to an end because the original marriage MUST be annulled because of the illegal kinship of the two parties. Therefore no marriage, ergo no divorce, even better, no pre-nup!

Of course he is liable for the upbringing of HIS child, his ex-wife's unnamed parent, if still alive, possibly cost him maybe up to a million. But he's worth zillions and he doesn't have to give one single penny to his ex as grandparents are not liable for some else's kid.

Now come on folks, we're writers, slavin' away doin' our stuff, the least you could do is read it properly! :p

Different

Did not like the story too much, but it was something to think about.

Yeah...

It was silly, but it sure was fun. Don't worry about the category; it fits where you want it to fit.

I read three of your things lately; you're getting better each time. But hey; what do I know?

This was too short to be worth a real five, but I fived it anyway.

Keep on trucking!

Oh Man, what a trip! That was some groovy acid you dropped on us. Psychedelic mushrooms in my head, man.

Glad you had fun

neither cuck nor BTB

REFRESHING

And delightfully silly

Big circus

What goes around, comes around.

Quite a Funny Story

I am sur prised at its low rating. I bet that is Sci-Fi it would have a 4.8!

Of course the old question is always there. Why would she get pregnant knowing that her infidelity would be detectable. Excellent Work.

Wedding Date

Regardless of the date on the calendar when she had sex, SHE was married to her husband, so she was having sex out of wedlock.

LOVED the ending!

There is a joke here I don't get...

and it is rankling that I can't figure it out:

"His brief, noticing Alex was wearing cotton trousers and sandals, couldn't help gasping, "So, it's true!"

Not a local of the UK, I suppose I can be forgiven... but author, or perhaps some other wise person, there is clearly a joke here, the set up is unmistakable... fill me in on the cultural reference?

Thanks,

Green-something

No hidden joke here

Green117, there is no hidden joke here, the expression of disbelief by the rather immature (and therefore cheap) barrister representing the plaintiff was merely a device to show that he did not believe his client would win until he saw the evidence by his own eyes. It was merely an aside by me to reflect that the junior barrister had taken on the "silks" with little chance of winning the case (or getting paid his fee). I felt that including his "minnow beating the sharks" reaction fitted the scene.

great story!

So his ex wife's mother hated him but he had no idea why till he went back and banged her? That's a pretty good paradox! Love that our guy managed to save himself in the end!
