:lol You know, in Puerto Rico we said pitipua for peas, at least the little round green peas. I think it came from the French, petit pois. There were French people in Puerto Rico at one time. They ran a lot of the old sugar mills before the turn of the century, in the 1800's.

I have a question concerning the challenge. Please forgive me if this is known information, but I am somewhat new at this.

I read the rules and requirements: My question is: Does this fictional piece have to be from scratch (idea etc) or can I use an idea and sections of a piece already completed but altered (drastically) to fit the requirements and word limit?

Thank you for your time

Thank-you for the clarification – I will see what I can do, gives me some time-- although I will be sliding right under that 5000 max--can’t make anything short.

Well I can definitely wait for as long as possible, and I can't make anything short either which is why I really feel like saying:

Miss! Miiiiiiiss! Can I have an extention? :wink:

Sorry. I was a teacher in a previous life. Sometimes it comes back to haunt me.

About this challenge, though, I'm gonna be struggling to finish on time, I can just tell. And yesterday, I had another idea for a little spoof that would fit here as well but there's noooo way I'm gonna have time for both. So if I get the time and energy to write it after the closing date I'll post it anyway even if it's too late for the challenge itself. If I get the energy... :)

If only we could write as fast as we think...
