and don't forget to put the note in from the mod, especially with a longer story

He can Browse, but not comment, since it's locked now. OP, three things are working here
1. There are a butt-ton of stories and not that many mods.
2. The subscribers get a higher priority, but in my case, that's still well past a week at a shot.
3. There is a competition going on, so any story that's submitted for that goes to the top of the pile since there is a deadline.
I know, it sucks, but the other sites have similar gatekeeping for their cliques; your mileage may vary.
I'll chime in.. I think part of the original post was also the prompts

This generator has a gallery (scroll down) if you see an image that is simular you can get the prompt used to create it.
I've read through this thread. i know i am no poet, so when i submit the 2 for Omnium it will be interesting on how they re viewed. There are no rhymes, that's something I have never been able to do well, and my understanding of free verse is not required. It will be interesting.

Once you start flashing regularly (as it were), they can become almost addictive writing-wise. They're lifestyle-friendly for many of our lovely readers, too, who don't necessarily want to commit to a longer read.
Yes, but I love world-building too. there in lies the rub.
Beef Tenderloin in Herbed Salt Crust
1 (1.5 pound) beef tenderloin (most cases this is half a tenderloin, make sure is around 3.5 inches thick)
1.5 tablespoon olive oil2 cups kosher salt (yes, 2 cups)
2 tablespoons dried rosemary, crumbled
2 teaspoons black pepper
1/2 cup water
Preheat oven to 425F Pat the beef dry. Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over
Moderately high heat. You want the oil to be HOT but not to the point it’s starting to smoke (no need to burn your house down cooking Thanksgiving dinner). Brown the beef on all side, about 6 minutes total time (the oil will splatter at first so be careful) Transfer the tenderloin to a shallow roasting pan. Reserve any pan dripping that are in the skillet. Stir together salt, rosemary, pepper and water until mixture resembles wet sand. Pat salt mixture onto top and sides of meat to coat evenly and roast in middle of oven until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat registers 130F for medium rare (about 25-30 minutes). Remove from oven and let meat stand in roasting pan for 10 minutes. Remove salt crust and transfer meat to a cutting board. Cut into 1/2 inch thick slices and spoon juices from skillet over slices.
