Comment from C. Gale Burnett
This was so dog-gone funny, I 'bout split my sides. You are definitely skilled at penning a good story. The humorous part is that there is so much truth wrapped into the fiction. We all need to laugh, and this one did me good.
Oh, yes ... your author notes; sorry, but that was just as hysterical as the story.
Great job! Very best wishes in the contest.

Comment from Jeffrey L. Michaux
This is almost fall out of the chair funny! I did my best not to shriek and laugh out loud uncontrollably. You've probably summed up this process down to the letter for many of us. Hopefully not this bad though. I really enjoyed this well written work. You've penned a winner here. Well done!

Comment from Six-Star Writer
This is pretty good, though it has to be pointed the story would go over well on this site. Outside the site, readers would have no idea what the story was about. But if you're not interested in doing anything with the story outside FS, no big deal. Yes, this site can be addictive, can't it? Stupid, isn't it. To salivate over seeing the accolades a poem or story might receive, when 95% of the writers/reviewers here absolutely suck and would never do well away from this site. The only hope most of them would have of getting published outside FS would be self-publishing.

Lol. That's for sure. Yeah, this is just for the site. I know it wouldn't work anywhere outside of FS. Thanks for the great review and stars, 6. Have a good one.

I love this! I feel that you have truly captured the fun on Fanstory! It made me laugh and was so relatable! I hope your skull is ok though - that didn't sound like much fun! Great job! Got my vote! xoxo

Now that was a fun read. I would have liked to read the original, but this was still an interesting read. You deserve consideration for the front page. Good luck

Thank you for the great review, Rock. It wasn't that much different. I mostly just had to cut down descriptive stuff and made a few lines shorter than what I had. It's still pretty close to what I had before. I really appreciate the generous stars, friend. Have a great day.
Comment from CrystieCookie999
Humor by exaggeration in fine form here. I was a newbie once here, too, and after giving out a four to someone I was blocked by that individual forever. However, your humorous reactions were even more entertaining. The TV, the PlayStation, and even thoughts of selling the children into slavery in order to re-promote a piece all become the humorous earmarks of a potentially desperate person.

Comment from Sylvia Page
You won't get 6 stars from me because today is Saturday and all my quota was spent on day 2, sorry. This is hilarious, I did not count how many words, just believe you. 800 words you say? Well, when you have done your corrections it will be 801. Ahh... I found one that will bring the count back to 800. Wish you all the luck with the judging...
I spent every last penny promoting (and) hoping, praying it
would get the praise it so richly deserved
needed sleep (Remove ->, ) that wore heavily on my
some way, (somehow. )

Thank you for the fantastic review, Sylvia. I reedited it so it's somewhere around 600 words now. Lol. I dearly appreciate the gracious stars and help, Sylvia. I fixed the goofs except for adding the (and.) That would put me over the limit. Haha. Thank you again and have a wonderful rest of your weekend.

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written flash fiction of the one that got away, after slaving for hours your presentation to the contest was ruined by a newbie that thinks they know the best and rate a four althought they liked your work.

Comment from LisaMay
Hahaha... now you can write a story about how your story got away on you!
It might be quicker, with your skill, than trying to unpick this one.
Gee, sorry I don't have a 6 (haha). :((((
