"The Lady of Shalott - On a FUCKING BOAT!"

[thefaeway]

Okay, so, parody time. This time I shall parody in satire of sorts. Kinda. In a sense. Anyway, I'll explain the subject here in a moment but first, a writing challenge! (which means, yes, I'm posting a small piece of writing.)

Every once in awhile I like to visit brigits_flame and participate in their epic and awesome writing challenges. Typically they

To be very honest, I wasn't exactly sure what was going on. I'm pretty confident she killed the guy, which is totally cool and funny as hell given the source painting, but I think maybe in this instance you kept the action just a little TOO vague.

What I really loved was the entire opening part, with her trying to be stealthy and using a cutting board as a paddle and all that. Your description was absolutely wonderful and I love, love, LOVE her dialogue. And all the little "what IS this thing" references concerning the boat? *GRINS* Very funny, and it also really helped to create the sheltered girl image for the Lady.

So, all in all I really liked reading this! And you better submit this in the JFF category for the contest so everyone else can read and enjoy as well.

Yeah, she killed the guy. I went over the word limit and had to take out some things here and there. In doing so, I may have made it less obvious.

Thank you! :) Personally I find that sort of thing fun to write and I'm glad to know it was fun to read! In the end, this may be better written than the actual entry haha

BTW the actual entry is finished - rough draft - and I posted it early this morning. :)

Oooo... shiny! I'll try and swing over at some point today to read that one, too.

This was an interesting piece. Like the person above, I wasn't sure what was going on. It was interesting how things were vague, but it made sense since she wasn't entirely certain of what was going on either.

Unlike the picture, though, I thought the piece intended for it to be darker, at night.

Thanks for reading :)

In retrospect I could agree with you. I think what happened was I'd written the full story, then had to start chopping in places to get it to the word limit.
