I’ll take redirect over sublimate any day. First it was astral projection, now it’s sublimate. Christ, I can only learn so many new words in one month.

I owe an explanation on the “redirect” prompt. The challenge emailed to me read “How does Olaf sublimate his lost love?” I amended it to simplify the language. I shouldn’t have tampered with it because it changed the meaning. I’m going to change it back. Olaf’s response is valid either way. Having said that, maybe Olaf wouldn’t have had Ron staring down Annikki’s chest if I’d kept to the original challenge. I’m sure Ron can deal with it.

I’m not sure about the “redirect” prompt either, but I like this scene a lot.

I liked it too Olaf, but was the challenge to “redirect the love for Olga” met by Ron’s lusting over Anniki’s light green cups or the bags of tuna? I’m skeptical… I was hoping it wasn’t going to turn that way, but there seems to be much in term of disturbing desire in many of these tales that I’m wondering if you’re not all trying to outdo one another at this point. Don’t get me wrong, I too really enjoyed this story. Well done.

I’m fascinated by Ron. There seems to be so much going on here. Great emotion. I really want to read more.

I agree with Jodi – the awkwardness of Ron clutching onto the bag of fish is so endearing (even though he’s just been perving down the top of a girl possibly young enough to be his daughter…)

I love all the little details you put into your writing, Olaf. Can’t wait to find out what’s going to happen next week (c:

Good on you, JD. Christ, I got a laugh out of that one. Seldom Seen, you’re taking some heat, my boy. That’s what you get when you start spreading lies about seaweed and talking smack about Nora.

Guess I put my foot in it there!! But don’t worry, the heart is still quite definitely in one piece.
