A Space Western limerick contest. It'll be judged by the likes of Jane Espenson and Keith R.A. DeCandido. Entries must be in by November 10th.

I did mine on River, but I'm not sure it's Western-y enough.

How fun, I submitted one. Now I can say my work has been read by Jane Espenson and Krad!

Wait, I'm confused. So we're not allowed to mention anything in the Firefly/Serenity verse?

From the Terms:

"(i) that no entry infringes any trademark or copyright or otherwise violates anyone’s right of privacy or publicity; "

With all the trademark/copyright hoopla going on right now, I'm not sure how to interpret this.

Succatash | October 12, 06:08 CET

I was wondering the same thing. Especially as regards names.

purplehazel | October 12, 06:16 CET

I just received an email from SpaceWesterns.com. Parody is fair use.

Fox can't take the limerick from me.

Succatash | October 12, 07:54 CET

Yeah but what if your limerick isn't a parody ? Mine was gonna have deep psychological insights into Mal and the human condition. One line questioned the very nature of reality while simultaneously rhyming with "Nantucket".

Ah well, dick jokes it is.

Saje | October 12, 13:22 CET

They said no dirty limericks, Saje. (Clean limericks seem mostly an oxymoron anyway.)

Sunfire | October 12, 18:36 CET

Damnation, you're right Sunfire, missed that.

In that case, I got nothin' ;).

Saje | October 12, 19:00 CET

I'd always rather hear Saje's dirty limericks. Such a great combination of brains and sarcasm to be wasted on PG material.

There once was a poster named Skeezy
Whose name, but not odour, was cheesy
On the compliment fine
Out of ten I give nine
And her manner ? Delightfully breezy

;-)

Demonesque

A whedonesque member named Saje
Had the brain and the heart of a Maje.
Demons stole them, with guile,
Tried them out, for a while.
Couldn't work 'em, which filled them with raje.

QuoterGal | October 13, 23:12 CET

Ha, very cool, ta QG. Both organs do, indeed, require a certain amount of, err, familiarity to operate correctly, I don't envy those demons one bit ;).

Saje | October 14, 15:03 CET

Hee hee.

There once was a Gal who quoted,
All the best of the thoughts ever floated.
She always came through
The cry and the hue
With the pith and point, never bloated.

Hmmm. I think that may be my first limerick. (Yeah, I know...it shows. ;-) )

newcj | October 14, 16:27 CET

No one I showed it to (all one of him) believes this is your first limerick, newcj. Aside from me just loving the subject matter and tone...

*big smile*

it's just really good. Pithy, you know?

I used to put a limerick-a-day in with my partner's lunch, but after about two months, it just got too difficult to think up new stuff to say about him or me or us in just five lines...

QuoterGal | October 15, 02:56 CET

Well thanks, QG. I'm glad you liked it. It is always nice to try something new and get a good result.

newcj | October 15, 04:56 CET

Yay! Succatash got "Jane's pick" and I got an honourable mention!
