Zero dark: Zero Votes

By Iain Aschendale · Dec 16, 2020 · ·
  1. I was pretty sure it would come to that, but another entry, another zero votes. I'm not going to workshop it because I don't think it's salvageable, but for anyone who was curious:

    It was a discussion between God (with aspects of both Yahweh and Allah, more on that later) somewhere between Genesis 1:2 and Genesis 1:4.

    Very early.

    Now, there's a surah, actually a couple, in the Quran which say things like: "Allah has only to say to a thing "Be" and it is."

    Per Wikipedia:
    First, Arabic has an imperative form of "to be." That's just badass. But anyway,

    So you've had to have and have immediate access to some odd religious doctrine from a couple different faiths and a bent brain to understand the story.

    ETA: No critiques please, this is the blog and not the Workshop and I don't want to get in trouble for trying to end-run the rules.

    I would have voted for it if I'd gone to the trouble of reading the entries.
      Malum, Lifeline and Iain Aschendale like this.

    For what it's worth, I loved the premise and I did get that it was a conversation between different deities. The reason why I didn't vote for it was for the lack of identification, even before the light came on. As it is, it came over as talking heads.

    And why is workshopping a bad idea, exactly? ;)

    @Friedrich Kugelschreiber : Next time, maybe? We always have a good crop of stories in the contests...
