#WordWeavers July 19: Do you use humor in your stories, and if so, what sort of humor (whimsical, sarcastic, satirical, etc.)?

I do, lots of word play, JP puns, and tongue-in-cheek humor. Also lots of humorous drabble.

Drabble: Washday Gremlin

<Snip from something else>

“Of all God’s creations, the rainbow is among the most wondrous,” said Watson, “but I never expected to hear you marvel at one.”

“The refraction of light through water droplets is scientifically interesting,” Holmes replied, “and while rare triple arches are not unheard of. But that’s not what I meant. Look there, note the shepherd in the well-worn light-green slouch hat. Oxford man. Theology, if I’m not mistaken. Dropped out in his third year to marry a local girl he met on holiday. A truly unexpected sight on Dartmoor.”

Sakurajima (桜島)NaraMoore ⛩️👻八尺様👻⛩️ at Fedi (@NaraMoore@sakurajima.moe)# Washday Gremlin ## #wss366 07/18 The gremlin sat counting socks, almost a baker’s dozen. There was the unicorn one, three dull white ones, Jenny’s heavy black hiking sock. She stroked the **#wash**ed-out tie-dye sock the kids had made for Father’s Day. It was **wash**day, and she had her eye on the strawberry print ones. She hoped her next assignment was as fun. Blue screens and randomly moving files were boring. Loosening bolts on airplanes could be fun. There were openings at SpaceX; they were on a hiring binge. That was a **wash**. Rockets were interesting, programming not so much. But eating soaks was her fav. #MicroFiction #TootFic #nmv366 #NMPrompts #Drabble #Yokai

#TimeTravelAuthors 6/15 Character who's least likely to time travel.
#TimeTravelAuthors 6/17 Excerpt: #Justice
#wss366 #Easy 6/17 (#GhostOfTimeTrave Part 1)

That’d be me, the “Wee Lass,” from the beginning of #TimeManager.

(Call that pantsing, rambling, toot, drabble fiction, even a story? It’s EASILY the worst story on the Fedi.)

I got my wish to be in two places simultaneously, but not the way I expected. No time travel involved.

Now invested with the power of the TimeTravelAuthors prompt, I summon a time-traveling ghost. I’ll get JUSTICE (revenge) from Poe and the Time (Project) Manager.

Consider this a prologue to another terrible, pantsing, etc., fiction. If you’ve a low nonsense-tolerance, filter on #GhostOfTimeTravel. Twofer filter #NMTTW

Muahahaha, Hehaw, cough, cough, cough.

#wss366 #Lick 5/16 #Easy 6/17 (#TimeManager Part 10)

Poe awoke, clutching his head, thinking, “EASY on the cocktails next time.”

Around a bonfire pranced lizards, toads, stags, and creatures more grotesque.

“Where the hell!?”

TM answered, “A smal wicche bad us hoom, 1150.”

Poe’s bedraggled raven added, “Þis is BYFAR þe wierdeste þing þat ich evere seye.”

“You’re not making a LICK of sense,” Poe said. “Translate!”

Raven obliged. “A wee witch invited us home to 1150.” I said, “This is EASILY the weirdest thing I’ve ever seen.”

“A witches’ Sabbath!!!” Poe exclaimed.

“Nay, a fest of disgisynges,” a goat-footed man explained.

Raven translated, “Nay, a costume party.”

#wss366 #Code 5/15 (Part 9)

Nara Moore (Raven, not author) lay belly-up next to half a blackbird.

Poe had switched to Moscow Mules, to the bartender’s disgust.

His cups and spills formed abstract poetry, symbolic of Poe’s mind.

“TM, when y-y-you st-st-art CODEing?”

“Someone saw a wee poem I penned.” He shrugged.

“When y-y-yo-you become project man-manager?”

“They said me work was a CODE.”

He drew a sample in a spill: “for(int L15= iv345;*PtrV51;L15++){*V111= V227+*PtrV45;V111++;}”

“NM, he wr-ote that dr-drunk!” Poe said to his comatose friend.

“Nother ‘Morning Glory Fizz’ and ‘Time Traveler’ fer me friend.” Me dr-un-un-k CODE still makes s-s-s-sense.

Poe exclaimed, “Not!”
