D.H. Lawrence's Short Stories Thread

[Janine]

Hehe I am working on it right now and playing around with it to see what I come up with. But it will be dark more like than not

I saw it so far - just go and play around and have fun with it. I like the maroon, no one has used that color yet - I bet gray (maybe some fog) would set that off well instead of the tan. Have fun! It is definitely something creative and cool to do.

[Dark Muse]

Haha, well it is a bit insane, but that is probably suiting. I think I am happy with it now.

[Janine]

DM, I love it! It is great!!! I guess we have some hidden talent among us.

[Dark Muse]

Hehe thank you

[Janine]

You are welcome!

Nossa, so happy to see you here. Yes, by all means, do join in. This should make for a very good discussion soon. Maybe we should vote on it. I will think of whether it would be better to start a few weeks from now; Virgil had thought it and I had orginially but I am flexible. With all that is going on right now, it might be better delayed a few weeks, but then again now is when we have people interested and I was thinking of a 'short' short story anyway.

I don't mind starting any time. Whenever you decide to start, I'll be here

I don't know about you but, I can't stop visiting the 'Profile pages, including my own. They are all getting more and more interesting, now that members are adding photos, along with changing the color schemes.

Yes. Me too!! lol...it's so much fun. I'm glad you like my page I love yours too! Virgil's is amazing too, and also Dark Muse's is great! I think we do have hidden talents like you said

Well, thanks for being understanding, Nossa and Dark Muse. I will think of when we should start then. I haven't quite made up my mind about it, since I was thinking of other things, beside the computer, that I must do in the next few days. Then with all this new stuff going on this week on the forum, it seems like stretching it a bit to start the story this Monday; maybe we could delay till next Monday instead. I need to review the story(ies) first.

I agree - Dark Muse really came through with a cool layout and page. I knew you would DM ...I can tell you think creatively. Nossa's is so cool, also. I love the color - it just right for you. Virgil went wild with the golden yellow and green, but I like it and the page with the background of DaVinci drawings, don't you? There are many great pages so far. I like LadyWentworth's also....very 'Phantom of the Opera' and that suits her well. It is theatrical and dramatic. Yes, I think many of us do indeed have hidden talents! This is such a great way to express our own personalities, don't you think. Also a good way to bring us all together and talking.

[Virgil]

Janine, why don't you tell which story so we can read it while there is still a weekend?

[Scheherazade]

Have you read the competition stories yet?

[Virgil]

Have you read the competition stories yet?

No I haven't. Thanks for the reminder.

[Janine]

Have you read the competition stories yet?

Scher, can you give me the link to them? I have hunted and can't find the actual stories to read. I really do wish to read them and vote.

Virgil, I will pick 'The Christening' then...because you want a headstart reading it. I think you told me before that you read it years back. Anyway, I will officially post the story with a photo on Monday. We will just take it slowly this coming week, since I anticipate being rather busy. I request no posting comments until after Monday - ok with you?

[Virgil]

Here you go janine: http://www.online-literature.com/for...ad.php?t=36922.

Thanks for the story. I will try to read it tonight.

[Janine]

Good, Virgil, let me know how you like it. It is a short one and fairly straight-forward. Kind of a sad one though.
