Talk:Pillow fighting
Gah! You got to the quotation before I did!
| “ |
Goaded on by the roars of the crowd around them, [the pillows] circled around each other, tightening, coming ever closer. My eyes drifted onto the audience as I tried, desperately, to keep watching the tragedy unfolding before me. The lot of them looked on with hungry eyes, and I noted, with a sinking of my heart, that these were hardly the evil-looking men I had expected. They were like pillows themselves — soft, innocent, some even beautiful. I could only surmise that it was a tragedy both of the human and pillow condition that looks can be terribly deceiving. These men and women could have been anyone. It was hardly a stretch of the imagination to picture them sitting at a monotonous desk job. My eyes flew back to the circling pillows, and I felt a sudden surge of pity. These were young pillows with their whole lives ahead of them. They should be resting on a couch somewhere, warmed by a pleasant sunbeam, or lying on a bed awaiting the return of their owner and the warmth of his head. Recruited for the sick purposes of entertainment, they were trapped now, blindly following the crowd's chants in the heat of battle. Then, from the mass of the unfeeling mob came a single pillow, a mere child, not even with a fully developed stuffing interior. He flew and met his fate in the ring, smacking against one of the two monsters, and enraging him all the more. On that spot, he died in a cloud of stuffing, and the crowd cheered, cheered a sickening cheer that reverberated through my feathers and made my cover quiver with fear and hatred. It was then that the true horror of the situation captivated me. It was then that I knew the world would not only be enraged by this account, it would also leave them hopelessly confused if I put in enough pretty words. It was then that I discovered, this would make damn fine novel material. |

Did you revert me? Or edit conflict? Or something? All I know is three revisions later my changes were gone, it was giving me some sort of saving error, and two copies of the same picture appeared. – Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize • writings • SU&W) 09:49 Nov 22, 2024 21:48, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
- That's really weird... I'll try to fix that. -- TKFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK 21:52, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
Links, bigger text... anything else we need, or do you think we're about done? – Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize • writings • SU&W) 09:49 Nov 22, 2024 23:53, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
- I declare the operation a success. -- TKFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK 01:36, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
From Pee Review[edit]
| Humour: | 9 | Quite an enjoyable read. |
| Concept: | 9 | wildly creative. |
| Prose and formatting: | 6 | One typo Brawling with one each other that I was too lazy to fix. Also, it could use some more links, and the quote from the book was a bit hard to read because it was so small. |
| Images: | 9 | They all worked well, especially the DNA analysis one. |
| Miscellaneous: | 8 | contains miscellany |
| Final Score: | 41 | Will be VFH worthy once the rough edges are smoothed out. |
