Also, at this time we're finally announcing the bonus winners from DPRPGC #7!

RESISTANCE AWARDS

Poetry: 'Quests of the Glorious Leader' by @PlatinumSkink! I'll grant that this narrative was somewhere between prose and poetry -- but for all that, this was one of the cleverest 'form' entries I've ever seen. And it was great fun to read.

Fiction: 'So You Want a Revolution?' by [@villageidiot]! This is a story that should chill your bones, about the true cost of resistance. AND 'What's Wrong with Johnny?' by @Dark Wind, who surprised the Glorious Country by showing us the true cost of loyalty.

Betrayal: 'Retribution' by @RomanAria! A short, sweet, and well-crafted back-stabbing. Just like she gave the Glorious Leader!

LOYALTY AWARDS

Poetry: 'His Greatness' by @Blizz. Poetry should be accurate. This poem was accurate -- even if it fell short somewhat of the true splendor of our great and noble GOD WHY IS HE DEAD!!!?! HAIL the Glorious Leader...

Fiction: 'Firebrand' by @Shorticus. A cunning tale. Perhaps if I throw myself in a great fire, the Glorious Leader can return as well? Perhaps I'll try one day.... HAIL the Glorious Leader....

Loyalty: A long title: 'A short mention, a simple account, a telling about our Glorious Leader, most divine is He' by @klomster. I laughed. I cried. I got confused, but I liked it. Say, can you start a ceremonial fire? I have an idea.... HAIL the Glorious Leader...

Hey, get out of here, you're exiled.

New contest time! Get up for it! Due date is March 31st, aka 'before any of us wake up in April and post entries.'

[Shorticus]

This looks... intriguing. Huh.

Time to crack open the history books.

Damn it, Aria.

Damn it, Aria.

@Dark Wind

I was staring at the Minecraft symbol myself.

Damn it, Aria!

umm... This kinda will be difficult to participate in... The vast majority of the RPGC writing time is taken up by the equivalent of your easter here in Niflheim. Not sure if a vacation is similarly placed on the other eight worlds...

[Wade Wilson]

Wait...

we can do graphics for this?

:D

[Loksfjoer]

I... have no idea what to do with this. Hm... I'll see if I can come up with something

[RomanAria]

Guys, the purple isn't really THAAAT bad, is it?...

[mdk]

Wait...

we can do graphics for this?

:D

@Wade Wilson

You can do both graphics AND/OR writing.

Guys, the purple isn't really THAAAT bad, is it?...

@RomanAria

Yes. Yes it is.

@RomanAria

I don't think it is. I like purple :)

[PlatinumSkink]

... Should I google "literature portrait" or "written artwork"? Because right now, I have no idea how I can join this time around. Haha.

[Gwynbleidd]

@RomanAria

Yes. Yes it is.

@mdk

Yes. And you should be ashamed.

I don't think it is. I like purple.

@WiseDragonGirl

SHAME!

[Shorticus]

I like purple :)

@WiseDragonGirl

KILL THE BEAST!

@PlatinumSkink

Thinking of other ways to put it.... Like, Huckleberry Finn was a story about a particular time/place/kid and it really put you there with him, right? Or compare, like, the Avengers to an Ironman movie. The avengers is all about the big struggle but Iron Man is a portrait of Tony Stark.

None of that is perfect. You don't have to be perfect. The goal (for writers) is to really nail the focus down to something or someone specific, and tell a story by telling us about that person, place, thing, or time.

[RomanAria]

@Shorticus Kill him!!!

(We're doing Beauty And The Beast as our drama production this year. I know the mob song by heart.)

[Gwynbleidd]

Wait. So is this like a... I'm still confused. Is art an option for entry aka someone's design/drawing? I must be reading something wrong. Can't draw at all lol #StickFigureGameOnPoint.

Guess what I'm asking is for the writing portion, is this like grabbing any kind of image from the internet and then transporting you to the world of that image?
