2024 Quill Award Nominees
#2314617 by Lilli is QUILLING! Author IconMail Icon


Lilli is QUILLING! Author IconMail Icon - Just asking for a friend: is the January window open yet for shameless, narcissistic self-promotion modest, humble sharing of overlooked masterpieces? Due to the heinous neglect no doubt accidental oversights of the community, none of his 2024 œuvre of witless drivel thoughtful musings and subtle insights into the human condition seems to have been nominated thus far—a situation which, if allowed to persist, could only be described as a travesty, a travesty I tells ya an unfortunate missed opportunity.

It's nine-ish... New Year Eve
Joke shamelessly stolen from a newspaper comment section.

A priest, a vicar and a rabbit walk into a bar. The barman asks the rabbit why he's tagging along with the other two. The rabbit gives him a weary look and says "Bloody predictive text."

*ChessPawnB* Love the Saint Crispin’s Day excerpt! *ChessPawnB* *ThumbsUpGreen*
Soldier_Mike Author Icon - I managed to fit in a genuine Queen Elizabeth I quote as well. The White Queen may have a bit of a reputation if you believe the barrack-room gossip here, but she has all the best lines. *Cool*

I don't really get the ending??!
Jellyfish Hello 2025 🙂 Author Icon - I had it in mind that he's running out of the room in a panic to get away from the voices and trips, falling down the stairs.

It's a tricky one—that contest only allows dialogue and nothing else. I may revisit it before the deadline at the end of the month to see if I can make it clearer.

Dave Ryan Author Icon - Ahh Ok. I was thinking the girlfriend had pushed him down the stairs but then that didn't make sense as it was his wife he had f**ked over!
