As a writer I have my own agenda with words. As a reader I have my own agenda in interpretation.
I wrote earlier in this thread that I, as a reader, felt the authors based on their past work did not do as well in this premise.
To continue, my comment for the stories is not meant to inflict conflict or angst, rather it is to be honest. In this world of 'like' and "oh that is wonderful," constantly, is not a part of my experiment. Yes, my experiment, and I must say it is spot on as the hypothesis is truly being proven true.
I'm very secure as a writer as such, my story for this premise was written to actually cause unease in people reading (again, all a part of the experiment), a part of the experiment, and for general consumption, fell faaaaar short of being remotely good...(*remember the original post where I said: all writers? Now, if any authors wondering about their story being the best they could do according to their, than bravo! Good job!
So yes Jim, you definitely read my post in the way you desired and wanted. A yes, Jim, you are definitely a part of the experiment. And as I said, great job!
If you have some personal experiment, do not communicate it in a way that appears I'm apart of it.
When you communicate in these contest threads, - do not - speak to writers in a condescending tone - like this is all some activity to satisfy your curiosity and that I'm apart of it.
This is a place to "encourage" writers, but only in truthful statements of where they do well. Instructive comments are welcome.
This is not going to change. If this bothers you, go somewhere else.

8 successful flash contests in 4 months. Pretty good.
So, YOU'RE apart of this experiment. You are now the new flash moderator.
