Well I dunno 'bout this, but yeah this might be one of my random attempts on writing stuff which belongs to the category of 'Metafiction' for the contest.
Feel free to read and give your thoughts upon it =D

I was wondering High. What would you use to sum up your entry in one sentence?

a bigger question was about your motive of coming up with such question which made me wonder

The motivation for asking questions is either curiosity or me having too much free time on my hands. I noticed that the writeup can be categorised to several different themes, like defining what is meant by Xenon's "special connection", what is is my outlook on life, so on as so for. It is always pleasant to know what the writer is thinking so this is why I asked for a one sentence summary.
I feel that I know you better after reading this.

Hmm...yeah, you feel like there's several different themes which matches up with the contest?
Actually I'm thinking of writing many different kinds of ideas just to make it deep and epic but I soon scratched the idea because I thought of these being too obvious and so many people already used that idea in the previous contests, including me. This time I'm just thinking of writing something different, which seems too damn obvious that no one will do it except due to having a plain and utter stupidity like myself, and that's how I went up with this entry~
Can't really sum up the story in one sentence, but if you want, here's the deal
"Just one randomly written gibberish for creating expansive mindfucks."

^ It is like that entry I made in the previous contest. There is one paragraph about why summer is terrible, another on why romance is terrible and so on.
I think, when it come to writing, that anyone who wants to put in many ideas together would most likely make an effort to try to string them together and it is even harder to make them understandable. I must applaud your effort High, something good should come out from this new way of writing.
As for me, I think a one sentence summary for my entry for those who will not read it ought to be, "This person is beyond cure since he dares diss wedding ceremonies!"

yup, to put it on another note, it's just like your summer entry~
well glad you could somehow understand the story lol, and thanks =D
it's not exactly new as there's some people at another forum I frequent, who made really good Metafiction stories, I'm just picking up things I learned from them =)
I for myself also diss wedding ceremonies too and we pretty much got the similar opinion so you're not alone in that matter~

Honestly, i really don't know what to say, or i just suck at expressing opinion. I have reviewed before but...
Well, first off i'm not really the type of person who likes the kind of Deep, philosophical or well, logic type stories.(Metafiction, as you call it?) Logic is cool and all but it's kind of painful to read long paragraphs of(my bias, apologies in advance).
Still, i read through it. It does have some pretty interesting concepts i never knew about. Quarks, heh... Well, new knowledge is always welcome i suppose.
Otherwise, apart from my personal opinion, i can say this is a pretty solid entry. A "New Text Document", certainly we don't really think too much when we open one or write in it, personally i mostly use them as to-do notes or, well, notes, without really thinking much of it.
Metafiction, i never really knew what that was until this story suggested it and i looked it up. I guess i'm not one for questioning aspects of life (if i got my meanings right).
For a 'Random Attempt' though, this, i can easily say is better than so many of the stuff i've written before. I could definitely stand to take some tips from you XD, i am planning to write for a living next time after all.
Good job, High, you never fail my expectations when it comes to stories.
Hope all that rambling was, well, useful...? Not so much i suppose...Good luck! I think you might get a top spot.

many thanks for the comment xD

I liked how you used the medium “NEW TEXT DOCUMENT” pointing out the blank slated nature of it. That everyone’s input would differ and how all these words, some might or might not be understood by others, brings another whole new set of idea and experiences. Story wise, I felt like this was more of a expression of thought than a fiction with characters and all so I can’t really say much about that. But yeah, like you said these glorious things being so small yet existing in us from now till the end really does changes our perspective…And o.o a Quark… I thought atoms were the smallest…
THE ALL QUARK!
I actually didn't thought about these that far lol, that just came out at random while I'm trying to write the entry, though the contents and meaning of this entry were pretty much the one which you said earlier.
Yeah this wasn't that much of a story, but glad you like it =D
Thanks for the comment =)

What in the world!? You may have called it partially demotivational, but I think it's great! Outside of giving me an interesting view of how to see life from a new perspective, I think you did a great job at interpreting the topic of the contest: "The little things."
I read your work more like an interesting philosophy paper and it pulled me in from the start. I felt like I learned more about you, the writer, than anything else. The penultimate line, "Life is imbued with meaning," carries a lot of weight, and you make it sound pretty natural within the context of your writing.
As a bonus, you reflect on a blank text document, something that is generally taken for granted, and then you relate it's 'blank' nature to our lives and as an example, you cite yourself being able to start anew. "Write my own reality," as you have put it, as if you were writing on a text document. That's pretty deep High. I really enjoyed your writing~

whoa thanks a lot for the comment mang =D
at first it wasn't really meant to be that deep and philosophical, more like I originally meant to make it as a prank because I'm pretty much kind of tired after being utterly bored while writing out the previous story ideas (and ultimately discarding them), until the idea in my mind becomes empty again like a blank 'New Text Document' and that's how I finally got it xD

It is deep indeed.
However, I must say that I'd want to see all of the discussed materials applied in an actual story. I'm not saying that your work is not good. I'm just saying that it has this bland-ish feeling to it that literally kept me off from enjoying it.

ah I see, I just find it a kind of dry indeed and I can't really think of a way of applying it in an actual story with the amount of limitations, and so that's the best I can get with my current level of abilities lol =D
anyway thanks for the suggestion, let's see if I can apply the themes into another form that would be much more interesting~

Well yeah, thanks for the encouragement =D
I'm thinking of something which I want to write for quite some time ago, will probably work on it sooner or later. I'll notify you guys if I do finish it~

I can say that I never thought I'd see Quark and Fapping in the same work that alone made me have to stop and think about a few things.
That aside I enjoyed how you took the subtlety of simple things and expanded on it into an entry.
I don't know too much about this type of style but after taking the time to read it I can say I was impressed...yet confused all at the same time.
I haven't read anything like this so I was taken aback seeing something different and I felt I wasn't comprehending whatever was being conveyed but in the end I found myself enjoying it.
If there was a extreme meaning behind it all I'm afraid I don't think I caught it but I liked your observations and the fact you took a once blank page and turned it into this.

I agree much of what Nejik said here.
Was a new sort of story and I did not expect it lol. It was an interesting read and I like reading unusual work from time to time. Only criticism I have that hasn't been mentioned as far as I saw were a few grammatical errors I spotted from time to time which made the sentence not really work.
Sorry for the late reply High, I finished it yesterday but couldn't reply until now.

Ah glad you like it lol~
No, there's nothing too extreme about it, after all it's derived from a New Text Document after all, it's open for various interpetations xD

Whoa so my entry is pretty unusual here huh, I do frequent some other forums where this kind of story (Metafiction) was pretty common and I picked up many of these ideas from them, so yeah =D
Yup, I still have to keep improving my grammar a lot more, thanks for pointing that out =)
Nah don't worry 'bout it, I'm glad when someone took their time to read and reply.
Thanks for the comments guys~

Wow, this writing is really great.
I must say sorry, first thing of all, for not being able to read your piece this late in the competition.
But I have to say, it's very interesting, and I like it very much. I would have thought this would make the finals, if I was to read this sooner, but it's a shame that you didn't.
Your writing, it really pulled me in, from the start to the end. Actually the beginning part for me was a little bland, but after that, everything was becoming very interesting to read.
It's really thought-provoking for me. I had to read your piece really slowly to get everything. The mere idea in the writing and your use of words keep me from standing up, I can't find any faults in your grammar and vocabulary. Not bad, not bad at all!
I have never known this kind of writing before, nor the possibility of combining fapping and Quantum Physics, hmmmm. I don't think I have anything to add to your writing, coz most of them is your subjective point of view. But maybe the whole science stuff might have some faults, though.
Overall, I really like it. I think this piece worth a spot in the final poll, but then again it's a shame it didn't make it.
