This one took a lot of work to get under the limit, so I apologize for some of the odd wording and meter. I really wanted to keep it to two ficlets, rather than three, so I had to make some concessions.

But he got to keep the pizza, right?

The two pieces are really quite impressive John. I did notice the little pieces of uneven meter, but I can excuse any of that sort of thing here, because of the limits. Still, I was impressed enough to not even think disparagingly of any of them.

Thank you. I’ll keep an eye on you I think.

Go JP! Considering the daunting task of mirroring Poe under the restraints of ficly’s character limit, you have awed me.

I think even attempting such a task on ficlets is something to be proud of in itself, and so any small niggles with the wording and meter aren’t anything to worry about.

Like ElshaHawk, I too am awed!

Really enjoyed reading that. I like the failing-to-score twist, too.

Brave attempt, well executed. Made me laugh.

Never more.

Now, if only the gentleman Tom Hanks could read it aloud to us all!

Excellent again, sir.
