Reading Between the Lines, a Browne and Northern Production

A while ago quin and Barry were engaged in a war for writing the most brief comment, an appalling breach of 6S etiquette on someone's lovely story. They have since declared peace, and have collaborated on this short, short six ... feel free to start your own conversations in the comments.

Reading Between the Lines

It's dark. And hot, very hot. They can't speak. There, in the bed, they are stuck to the sheets under them. And neither man can move. Handcuffed together, gags in pl… Continue

The Radioactive Lion : A Fairy Tale

There was once a boy called John who, being born to a poor woman whose husband died young, sent her son out to make his fortune before he was barely grown. Now it was the way of John to suffer ill fortune, as you might have guessed, and so the first person he chanced to meet upon the road was a practitioner of the dark arts.

This is the place to be for new writers.

Anything you can do . . .

If I trip, he falls over.
When I bruise, he's cut.
If I sprain an ankle, he breaks a leg.
I become wheat-intolerant, turns out he's a coeliac.
I suffer from IBS, and he gets ulcerative colitis.
If I get a heavy period he can just fuck off.

Political tension in Mr Henson's underpants

“Yes, Doctor, well it's one of those embarrassing problems really, you know, down there.”
The doctor assured Mr Henson that he'd seen it all before, and once his patient was undressed, he pulled back the sheet to expose his groin only to recoil in horror when instead of testicles he saw two miniature heads, no, they were still testicles, but with perfect, tiny faces.
“You see the problem doctor.”
“How long have you had this, er...” but the doctor trailed off, because at this point the two little… Continue

Hah!! Must be a freakish universal meme afoot in the geekosphere. I think it's a wonderful coincidence. What's the worst that could happen - we start a trend? I can live with that.

Barry, I just wanted you to know that when you do post a six, you really inspire me. There is just something about how you write...
