Thanks go out to everyone -- The stirring of another story?

To all those who have read and given good feedback of my plays I want to extend my thanks to you. I'm pleased that it has given you some amount of comedic pleasure.

You know what I see as the most interesting thing about all of you who enjoyed these stories, is that each of you have your own favourite quotes. And I am grateful that you have shared them with me because sometimes the humour is lost on myself. I find it hard to read things as being funny when it is coming out of my own head.

I actually enjoy my own writing more when I see what others take for enjoyment. So I want to thank all of you for your kind words and your appreciation of what did take me some time and effort to accomplish.

With kindest regards, I thank you all. Even the gutter snipes that caused all the comedies to unfold.

Sincerely,

Sir Spectrespeare of the Threads of Lore

And thank you Lord Specter for creating such works. May you continue to write more as the years and months move though time.

You truly do have talent.

Isn’t it strange that some good always comes as the result of some evil. Great work Spectre.

yip good work spectre
as you say you dont always appreciate the humour in your own posts here are some rules to help you with future posts
> 1. Avoid alliteration. Always.
> 2. Prepositions are not words to end sentences with.
> 3. Avoid clichés like the plague.
> 4. Employ the vernacular.
> 5. Eschew ampersands & abbreviations, etc.
> 6. Parenthetical remarks (however relevant) are unnecessary.
> 7. It is wrong to ever split an infinitive.
> 8. Contractions aren't necessary.
> 9. Foreign words and phrases are not apropos.
> 10. One should never generalize.
> 11. Eliminate quotations. As Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "I hate quotations. Tell
> me what you know."
> 12. Comparisons are as bad as clichés.
> 13. Don't be redundant; don't use more words than necessary; it's highly
> superfluous.
> 14. Be more or less specific.
> 15. Understatement is always best.
> 16. One-word sentences? Eliminate.
> 17. Analogies in writing are like feathers on a snake.
> 18. The passive voice is to be avoided.
> 19. Go around the barn at high noon to avoid colloquialisms.
> 20. Even if a mixed metaphor sings, it should be derailed.
> 21. Who needs rhetorical questions?
> 22. Exaggeration is a billion times worse than understatement.

Woohooo! Go Spectre! WOooOoHOooOo!

I write satire about my school (more like pseudosatire; it's lost its aim) and those things about enjoying your works when other people enjoy them all happen to me.

Post Tue Sep 30, 2003 8:21 pm

@Stinger, I'm not that kind of boy.

@RILMS, time passes too quickly to be enjoyed and too slowly to be endured.

@Fear Factor, thank you, thank you.

@Eraser, actually I hope for a more prosperous tomorrow where I can sell my writings. But don't worry I will continue.

@Nickless, with all those emotive icons, you getting all emotional on me?

@Lv38 Eagle, too right you are.

@Steel, are those things that I should fix in my two plays or is that a copied "To do list" for writing from an English scholar?

Some of them have provided me with great advice, others I actually intended to do in the plays. The best way to show a character as ignorant or low in intelligence is to break the proper rules of English when he speaks.

@Killzone, I don't see how this is making me a buck. Maybe I'll try to do that.

@Jim Groovester, keep on writing. You may never make a living out of it, I haven't yet, but it is a great relaxer when you write about the things that annoy you. Ahem--dastardly posters--ahem.

Thanks to everyone again,

@spectre read my post more carefully i thought you wanted some humour
its not advice just humour , or so i thought

Post Wed Oct 01, 2003 12:45 am

Steel, I must have been in a completely logical mood, because I didn't read it at all to be humourous. Only now upon rereading it and seeing how the text lies to itself do I see the humour. That is one hell of a good post to actually be intelligent advice and be subtlely funny at the same time! Is this your creation or is it from somewhere else. I only ask because the "> > >" looks like it was taken from an email.

Good post. I love jokes with multi levels of meaning!
