Hi Marcus,

I think that must be the ultimate Tank story -- you just destroyed Superman before he even came into existence. Tempus would be proud! ;-)

And your story could serve as a template for lots of others; for example:

"Bernie, don't mix...!"

Kaboooooooooooooommmmmmmmm!

cheers,
Lynn

I love it. I think that every last word is necessary, particularly as there is no confusion.

Yes, short and to the point.

I can't see posting all of these ficlets to the archive as separate stories - but maybe someone could collect them all and post them as one multi-author story.

If anyone wants to do that, you're welcome to use my contribution.

That makes sense to me. I had actually already submitted my first two stories, which were comparatively long and could stand on their own, to the archive, but I didn't think the remaining ones were worth submitting on their own.

Since I was the one to issue the challenge, I volunteer to collect the stories. Stories are still coming in, so I will wait at least until April 24th before submitting them; longer, if there are still more short stories being posted then.

I will use only those stories whose authors have given me express permission to do so. If you wish your story or stories archived, please send me a private message with your story, your name or pen name as you would like it to appear, plus any text you wish to accompany the story. I will assemble the stories in order from longest to shortest. (Where there are ties for word count, I'll count letters as a tie breaker.)

cheers,
Lynn

I was wondering about that - what a great idea, Marcus! I'd certainly accept such a collection for the Archive as I feel that it would be a shame to lose out on such terrifically inventive and clever work just because they're so short and somewhat impractical to upload individually.

Thanks for volunteering to do the collecting, Lynn. Oh, you might want to post your invitation to the authors in Fanfic Related - just in case they don't read this feedback thread.

Consider it done. :-)

cheers,
Lynn
