Maybe you need someone to make sure this time you do not 'cheat' (as in break the laws of good mystery writing and physics (Big window becoming small, A box appears in the window from nothing)

Re: Kogorous Riddle Thread and eworms Deduction Thread
But I not a writer, I'm a critic

I tell you what though if you can show me a kind of fill in the form thing, I might try my hand
Start might be something like this
A business person has three more persons over to discusses business. One of them dies, Blood all over them.
And of course the questions who why, and how
Clue type of answer
Mustard killed peacock by plucking and filling their throat with peacock feathers
They looked too nice and crowed too much
I guess we might call this
A work in progess

"But the bitter truth we critics must face, is that in the grand scheme of things, the average piece of junk is probably more meaningful than our criticism designating it so." --Ratatouille
Hey, I just think it's great that Kogorou's taking the time to make up these things. I've thought about it, but the truth is it's far harder than I wish it were. And I'm going to be an author. Stories, particularly mysteries, aren't the type of things you can just plug into a formula, like a math problem. You have to have red herrings and small clues to make it hard and fun, but possible. So the fact that Kogorou and e-worm make these are great! (I really like reading them, guys! Thanks!)
Also, what do we do if Paix627 isn't coming back? Cause I always seem to check this thread between riddles...

Re: Kogorous Riddle Thread and eworms Deduction Thread
Okay, so in the meantime let me post a really easy short riddle. If Paix627 comes back she still gets to post a riddle, but she doesn't seem to visit the forums lately...
A is a policeman from a traffic division, very strict about safe driving. B is his acquaintance and a taxi driver. One day when A was patrolling a street B passed him really fast.
"Damn, that B is going to kill somebody" muttered A but did nothing to stop B. Why?
Damn, too easy... Must get to think about the fourth Brain-Frying Riddle, but the most important exams in my entire life are coming...

A shot in the dark
@Shuusgirl - I try with my criticism to help others. It is never meant to cut down. It is meant to help improve their craft.It can be a necessary thing. Yes I know how hard it is to write, but with critics and editors, that make that writing better. I was basically asking "C" student if he wanted a little help by some constructive criticism. And making sure he did a little better job following the laws of good mysteries and Physics.

Hello! I've been around here, reading the posts from time to time, but not posting. The riddles here are interesting and this will be my first go at them.

Re: Kogorous Riddle Thread and eworms Deduction Thread
Welcome, Thriefty, make yourself at home... I'll be counting on you when the BFR4 is out... But, sorry, this one goes to sstimson. B was just running, not driving when he passed A.
And back to the "writing" offtop - for me it started with a contest... I did surprisingly well and then decided to take it more seriously... And guess what? It's an annual contest and the next edition is going to start soon! Can't wait - this time I'm going to compete without holding back... With a story based on the first Brain-Frying Riddle!!

Re: Kogorous Riddle Thread and eworms Deduction Thread
@sstimson sorry I freaked out like that but that day was totally stressing.
I'm still working on my newest case.
I still need some time because it's damn hard to consider everything I have in mind an make it shorter so I can post it here
