Ok this is totally not kosher, and I semi-apologize. I basically took the idea as a challenge to myself to see if I could use the six word novel idea towards a bunch of other challenges, and still nirvana the story. Success!
I kind of cheated on the Babel one. I’m only counting the letters and words, not the punctuation or the number 2 by itself. And I stole the idea from Trann.
Please feel free to rate and or comment on the whole thing or individually. I’m really hoping this doesn’t come off as pretentious, but you can tell me if it does.
Oh, I love your take on Babel. You are right that the challenge didn’t state that it must be a human language. Very good indeed. Other highlights are sci-fantasy and superhero. The love letter makes me cry.
Uh oh, it looks like eatPeople() is an undefined function. Anything could be happening there. Perhaps you meant for the x— to be called within the eatPeople function? Otherwise the eatPeople function is superfluous. :) Loved it.
I’m always one to support a little bit of subversiveness here and there. Way to go outside the box but inside the box in an outside-the-box sort of way.
This is great. And I don’t see why it shouldn’t win … or at least one them, anyway. My personal favorite is “Elevated,” because it’s such a dense little nugget of clever wordplay.
Unconventional for the win! Although, nit-picky as I can occasionally be (and since it was my challenge), I must point out one tiny flaw: you only have five words for the “Touch of Madness” one. All you’d have to do is make “I’m” to “I am” and you’d be off the hook.
@g2, holy cow. I can’t believe that went unnoticed for so long. Had to modify a few others to make that fit since it was exactly 1,024 characters long and needed to stay that way for the challenge to myself.
