Oh, not at all. Why would I spoil such a happy occasion with malice?

I wish Kaben all the best.

There's a light at the end of every tunnel, folks.

@Princeofheartswell hello or welcome back either or depending on how you want to see it. Beyond that just noticed how similar her semblance is to Cians but Cians is more of a "absolute" defense "absolute" being how long she can take the mental strain from each hit.

You’ve got one thousand words to sell me on your character’s death.


You can't be serious. That's about a single page of writing. I've never written a decent piece of work that small in my life. In fourth grade we got an assignment that said "You're staying at an old relatives house and in there garage you find a trunk with an old looking crystal inside, what happens next?" The limit they gave us was five pages, I handed in a twenty five page story. Generally speaking my contest entrees are so long they can't fit inside one header. An event like this needs context, planning, setup, the chance at survival and ultimately failure. It needs length to truly give the reader an emotional connection to the character otherwise its just going to be a "she got into a fight and lost" type story which even doing that I suspect would be longer than a 1000 words.

@Prince of Seraphs, did you even read the last paragraph in the whole post?


I have to confess that I only skimmed the critique of the other entrees and as that last post didn't have anything in it to differentiate it from being part of the critique above I kinda glanced over it. My apologies for berating you for something that wasn't actually true. If it's not too much trouble I would like an opinion on the clarification I provided for the contest entree.

Nice post. I've always wondered what it's like to be the kind of son of a bitch who not only cuts it down to the eleventh hour, but shows that you really don't give a crap about what your team is up to or whether you're even remotely involved in what they do.

I thought Fallout 4 would be the biggest waste of energy expended this week, but reading your post has undertaken the not-so-mean feat of proving me wrong.

@Sho Minazuki, @Suku, @HereComesTheSnow, you have my sympathies.


If I'm being honest that's sort of how I've felt reading her posts since the Mokuren character gave up on cannibalism. The posts were always just bat shit crazy with very little logic to them and I'm not really sorry to see Kaben go.

Yes! I am fine with the plan!! Do I need to drop her CS again?


NO! Another Prince, my crown is no longer safe! You must DIE!

On a more serious note is it a good idea to bring Priscilla back? Not that I don't want you here, if memory serves you were a really good writer and your character brought a bit of light to an RP that has a lot of really dark themes to it but I believe we said that Greyson, Daniel and Priscilla just up and vanished one day without a direct explanation. Delving into what happened to them not to mention reinstating Priscilla at Beacon might be a lot more trouble than it's worth. I'm not saying that you shouldn't return but it might be easier were you to create a new character altogether.

Hm...

Anyone else have an opinion on retallying the results?


Well I mean I was pretty happy to actually have won something, feels kind of awful when someone tells me I won third place and then afterwards voids it XD

@Prince of Seraphs

To be completely frank, that's the point. The challenge is to sell me on a death in one thousand words. Use every word wisely, I don't want any filler, nothing that doesn't belong. It can and has been done with great success before and is a completely different talent than 'write as much as you can and sell me on your idea.'

So yeah I'm super serious. Sell me in a thousand words, it requires careful thought and planning moreso than doing it in ten thousand words.

We are both Prince :D Wooh! And ummm you are right.... but it is up to Lugu, if he wants me to bring back Priscilla or something. I do want to still RP as Priscilla because I miss her.

Lugubrious said that he was fine with Team JMCL finding Priscilla on their next mission so it doesn't seem to be a problem.

I totally understand the need to not have filler. My personal difficulty with the word limit is that I have to contrive, plot, and show a death scene all while involving the reader emotionally in an extremely short story with very little buildup. Other than that I agree.

I guess that's fair, I suppose I could bump the limit up a bit. But the point of the challenge is to really do a great job with as few words as possible. So I guess I can change it to 2,000 or maybe a little higher. But I don't know, opinions anyone?

Sho Minazuki, Suku, HereComesTheSnow, and whoever's the antagonist for their mission I'm guessing.
