The concept of 255's came about from a discussion in the TCB IRC. The goal? To write a complete story between 255 and 500 words long. Not all of these will be TCB related, but they will all use Cloudyverse characters, in situations ranging from the everyday to the bizarre. So come on in, grab some popcorn, and enjoy the ride.
Not bad.

And another compilation to add to my reading list. Gulp.

Don't worry, these are 255s... well, with Cloudy writing them, he likes to scrape the upper edge...

I have 63 stories on my RiL list--even the short ones close to the top are going to take a while to get to.

*grumbles* I just like being descriptive, I swear!

Yah, I could see how 500 words would hinder that a bit.
1471276 Actually, it's nice for getting little side ideas done, without giving them a full story's level of attention
WHY WAS I NOT INFORMED OF THIS!?!?!?

Now that you mention it... *begins compiling 225s*

255s, not 225s, just in case it wasn't a mistake
the event "Those Awkward Cobversations" was written for is right here

Tucking fypos, you know what I mean.
My favourite of the bunch, doesn't try to be too complex nor too simple, and with a humorous twist at the end.
Out of those others, I think "To Capture the Night" is too complex when "Dust and Memories" is too simple. The Great Escape wrecks a delightful visualization with odd kiddy humour and a flat title.
Short and sweet, very nice.
Can't wait till you write this story. Sound like it going to be good.
And now all I can think of is Pony Abraham Lincoln. That image is gonna be stuck in my head.
Still, interesting little snippet.
I'm still voting for Vermin Supreme.

Still got a good plan for fighting gingervitus.
The Diamond dogs of your TCB stories really sound cool. Can't what till you put out Dogs of Winter.
Silverware is the most important part of a balanced diet. Just sayin'.
Cute!
So, this one isn't a 255, nor is it set in the Cloudyverse, but I was driven to write it anyway.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everypony
I wish i could thumb-up twice...

This is going to sound bad, but I have to say it: Shouldn't that be 'Eques Representation'?
*Grins* Interesting.
Very nice little ficlet.
Interesting, feels a bit too vague to really draw me in but still nice.
*grins* Very nice and contained.
Interesting but doesn't really hold together well...
