Caraccioli Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 I saw this and thought some of it was pretty funny. Wired magazine asked a bunch of sci-fi writers to write a six word story. My favorite? "The baby’s blood type? Human, mostly." - Orson Scott Card You can see them all here: Wired 6 Word Sci-Fi. "You're supposed to be dead!" "Am I not?"
Red-Handed Jill Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 Pretty cool! Kirby had never eaten toes before. - Kevin Smith Heh.
LongTom Posted January 26, 2007 Posted January 26, 2007 Can't resist rewriting Arthur C Clarke's (blasphemy, I know, but since he refused to keep it to six words): God: "Attachment: GENESIS.EXE? Damn! Cancel! Cancel!"
Rumba Rue Posted January 26, 2007 Posted January 26, 2007 and my favorite: Dorothy: "Fuck it, I'll stay here." - Steven Meretzky
Duchess Posted January 26, 2007 Posted January 26, 2007 I think my favorites are Shatners and Whedons.
Red-Handed Jill Posted January 26, 2007 Posted January 26, 2007 What about coming up with our own six-word pirate stories? "My ship! Damn that wretched woman..." Wrong island? The crew gets restless.
Cpt Sophia M Eisley Posted January 26, 2007 Posted January 26, 2007 I like that idea.. Turn the Ship? Where's the wheel?!? Rum ran out. We're gonna die! Arrr we there yet? No!! Arrr!!! Perhaps we'll meet again under better circumstances. ---(---(@ Dead Men...Tell No Tales. Welcome, Foolish Mortals...
Red-Handed Jill Posted January 26, 2007 Posted January 26, 2007 Mains'l shredded. Enemy ships spotted astern. Becalmed. Food stores are almost gone. "What puny cannons! They'll never reach --"
Sir Eric Posted January 26, 2007 Posted January 26, 2007 "Nice cutlass there... ow! Me eye!!" NOAH: Wow... the whole world flooded in just less than a month, and us the only survivors! Hey... is that another... do you see another boat out there? Wait a minute... is that a... that's... are you seeing a skull and crossbones on that flag? Ministry of Petty Offenses
