What kind indeed? I suppose the phrase "and so on" means right up to the millipede.

Probably another one to add to my growing pile of "NS comps I shan't be entering".

Happy Christmas to everyone, even the millipedes.

Once again I am reminded why I have never done an N S comp.
Happy Christmas, Sphereans.

What happened to that NS comp for the opening of a novel written by a composer? I thought my entry was pretty stunning. Now I can't even find the competition listed.
