More six word summaries.

[davywavy]

The thing about this ‘six word fiction’ idea is that is possible to have fun with pretty much any genre. Whilst doing horror yesterday it quickly became clear that there are so many other genres out there and I couldn’t resist giving more of the wide and exciting variety of different works of fiction a quick once-over as well.

Porn: Washing machine repairman has oversized tool.
Mills and Boon romance: Handsome, wealthy doctor seeks unsatisfied housewife.
Science Fiction: This is all your fault, Skywalker.
Wuthering Heights: He’s insane, but I love him.
William Shakespeare (Comedy): You’re really a girl? Guess what!
William Shakespeare (Politics): You're a Plantagenet? Tough luck.
William Shakespeare (Tragedy): Whatever witches tell you, ignore it.
Greek Tragedy: You’re my father? Then she’s…uh-oh.
American Soap Opera: Everybody’s rich and shagging each other.
British Soap Opera: Everybody’s poor and shagging each other.
Labour Party Manifesto: Everything bad is the Tories’ fault.
HP Lovecraft: Don’t open that! Oh, too late.
Westerns: The stranger rode in at noon.
A Christmas Carol: Entrepreneur driven insane by ghostly torment.
Michael Crichton: Reanimated Dinosaurs? What could go wrong?
Livejournal: Life suxX0rs. Fanfic, my cat, squeee!

I considered pointing that out, but the old saw about boxing a cripple springs to mind.

I'm in a mean critical mood so I have to say you don't do this properly. What youre playing is guess the synopsis, you're not writing a story. Youre giving the layout of a story, already written, in six words. Much as I dislike Hemmingway his six words gave a story on their own. I challenge you to do that without flipant plagerism.

Thankyou for reiterating my observation, and indeed for the summary of your CV.

Which was obviously a cack handed attempt to respond to 'Grim', and not to Gwaunquests' articulate, challenging, and well thought out post.

Actually, that's rather good. Touche!

To be fair, the clue is in the title - "Six word summaries" - hence the post being comprised mostly of summaries (for comical effect) rather than original tales.
There are several six-word tales o' terror on my previous post, some original, some not.

So why not post it at Grim, because he's not capable of reading this far down the page and so will never see it?

Mainly due to incompetence. However, his last response was rather clever, I thought: astute and devoid of offensive profanity. I may have underestimated him. I hope I have.

[davywavy.livejournal.com]

I suspect that the lack of profanity is s hort-term glitch. Normally when he's behind a keyboard he acts like he's got tourettes of the fingers.

Let's see eh? I wager a fiver his next post is, at least, devoid of witless profanity.

[davywavy.livejournal.com]

Post on LJ? Or post to me?
If I take the bet he'll write about flowers and bunnies, just to cost me money.

Post here.

Fiver a bit rich for you? howsabout 20p?
