hey, michael, how sweet of you! time to begin the search for a new host for 2011 yet? you the man ;-) - sam, thanks for starting the group goes with necessity to susan tepper who made me. stories were, according to the nature of the public group, self-selected, and i have to agree with you, the overall quality is absolutely amazing given that many of these were written for the challenge. i especially like the manliness of many of the stories if i may be permitted to say so under joyce's steady masculine gaze.
Group Description
Created for the Fictionaut St. Patrick's Day Challenge.
"Saint Patrick's Day (Irish: Lá ’le Pádraig or Lá Fhéile Pádraig), colloquially St. Paddy's Day or simply Paddy's Day, is an annual feast day which celebrates Saint Patrick (circa AD 385–461), the most commonly recognised of the patron saints of Ireland, and is generally celebrated on 17th of March." (Wikipedia)
THE RULES
* Your story or poem must contain at least one of the words 'Patrick', 'Paddy', 'Irish', 'Dublin', 'Joyce', 'padding', 'pad', 'Padawan', 'patron', 'saint', 'pope', 'spring', clover', 'bloom', 'Guinness', 'green', 'pal', 'Catholic'.
* All pieces are due by 17 March, 11:59 p.m. (your) local time.
* By participating, you pledge allegiance to Irish coffee.
This challenge stands under the patronage of James Joyce, whom I contacted during a séance. (His exact words were: "Does nobody understand?". Very blurry pictures available on demand.)
Go n-éirí an t-ádh leat! Ádh mór ort! Eireann go Brach !
