Slapstick
Hmm.
This it seems was released by Talkingcock the day before they suffered a massive server crash and what appears to be a hacking attempt.
Interesting innit?
In other news, I appear to be a born prime minister. 487 points. Top that! Hah!! Wah lau eh. Bastard!

Rehashed
Incidentally does anyone remember these?

I've been giving it some thought and tweaked the idea a little so that even a commitment-phobe like myself will be able to manage it with minimal input (heh. much like the ideal girlfriend eh?)
So here's what I'd like to do : start a site that blogrolls Singaporean authors who write stories. Only stories - ordinary blogs about daily life are out. Too many, and not my cup of tea.
Authors will be able to add their own links to a "general" section, and I (and hopefully my team if anyone ever joins me) will sift through the stories and categorise them... possibly by topic, or by recommendation (funny / thrilling etc)
no scores, and no direct comparisons... just a central repository of links to stories. With subtle encouragement to writers to create purpose-built blogs to host their stories the way i (preen) did for starsandmoon. But if they can't be arsed that's okay too.
As long as they collate their stories into suitable containers so that I don't have to create additional sublinks.
yeah, anyhow. That's it. The NotTheFlyingChairUnAwards site. heh heh.
So far I reckon automatic qualifiers into the "advanced" category are :
alfian, nicholas, xena, and mebbe K (http://www.antisteotype.net/teflon) if only she'd write stories as well.
Lucian, you still with me on running this thing?
