Monthly Writing Assignment Discussion (November Edition)

[Sgt. Grub k1ller]

BSOD? Blue Screen of Death? Wha?

[Jay the Arbiter]

Have you ever heard of the phrase "Heroic BSOD?"

My entry was more a "Regular BSOD."

[RaKais]

Get off Tvtropes, Jay!

[Croswynd]

A day and a half left. Anyone else planning on entering?

[rusticangelic]

me hopefully, but my brain has decided it would rather sleep, nearly there, will work my darnedest to get it posted in time...

[rusticangelic]

My entry posted at last, wanted to focus it on a heart crashing. Done so much research on what happens during a cardiac arrest that I'm starting to think I've gone down with a mad case of hypochondria.

Anyway hope it reads all right, its been the first time in a while I've written something outside the circle of characters I've already established.

[Croswynd]

All entries are graded and ready to be posted. Waiting to see if there's any last minute posters and your scores will be up tomorrow. Nice turn out.

[Croswynd]

Scores are posted in the main thread. As always, keep in mind I'm only one judge. Had there been more, your scores no doubt would be very different, for better or worse. And Jay, don't feel bad. I'm just harsh when I review things.

[Sgt. Grub k1ller]

Rusty, you ninja! I had this in the bag!

Gah, I'll get it next time. Mark my words, IMA WIN! IMA F*CKING WIN! WHOOOO!!!!

[SKORGE]

Well that sucks, I had like one paragraph done. Whats the next topic?

[Croswynd]

I'll get back to you on that as soon as rusti decides.

[rusticangelic]

woah.. wait... what happened?? wow amazing.. hmm now I get to come up with a topic

[Jay the Arbiter]

Eh, Fantasic-o Rust! Nice one!

And Cros, I'm sorry my entry was so sub par but like you said, I've been feeling really "bleh" recently.

[Croswynd]

Gonna use the same thread for discussion as last time, with the new entry thread edited into the OP. Otherwise, business as usual, fillies and gentlecolts. Give me what you got, whether it be humor, tragedy, or something in between. Also, as always, if anyone's interested in judging, let me know, but don't feel as though you have to. Thanks.

[Sgt. Grub k1ller]

I plan on a very sad story about a Wretch loosing his wife, and turning lambent for revenge, only to realize a single snub bullet causes him to asplode.

[Sgt. Grub k1ller]

I'd like to bump this so more people see it, and maybe thi swon't be a total failure.

Anyway, I have no idea what to do with this prompt. Damn it, Rusty.

[SKORGE]

A Wretch?

Why Rusty!?!?

[TheRealBigBoss]

Maybe I could resurrect 0110?

I always thought that was a pretty cool tale.

[SKORGE]

You mean you're not dead?

And whats 0110?

[TheRealBigBoss]

I thought the same thing about you SKORGERONIMO, fatal hockey accident or so I heard.

Anyways, 0110 was my wretch story, concerning a lost wretch who's forced up to the surface for the first time by the flooding of the hollow, and tells of his travels in this strange new surface world. But of course, the story isn't quite as simple as it first seems, muhahaha!

[Jay the Arbiter]

*Browses around and notices Boss*

Oh hey.

[Sgt. Grub k1ller]

Boss? I thought Boss was dead. Or at least hanging out with newer, cooler people.

[Croswynd]

We're all lurking, waiting for the flood to relinquish control of the forums and resume our writings.

[TheRealBigBoss]

*Browses around and notices Boss*

Oh hey.

Hey Jay, what's up?

Boss? I thought Boss was dead. Or at least hanging out with newer, cooler people.

Wait... there's cooler people?

We're all lurking, waiting for the flood to relinquish control of the forums and resume our writings.

Yeah, just gotta ride out the wave.

Strange thing is, people are talking about the kinda things we discussed endlessly five years ago. It's kinda weird and spooky.

[Jonesybites]

People are posting threads but nobody's reading the fics.

I'm probably too late in the game to work up something for this month...and with the holidays coming, I probably need to update the comedy stuff for some cheesy laughs.

What a glorious and honorable way for a man to perish. I am not worthy of such an exit.

Welcome back, however. Nice to know you're still around.

As for 0110, well that sounds interesting. Do Stranded cook it up for food at the end? Speaking of which, wonder what a Wretch tastes like...

[Jay the Arbiter]

Hey Jay, what's up?

Been trying to keep myself busy with some projects, just some stuff for fun. Also, I'm teaming up with a friend to write a piece that has our characters together.

Finished my Revival re-write as well.

Mall sent me more of his work as well, but I haven't had the time to frame them just yet.

[Croswynd]

I've been involved in NaNo, myself. I'm at 30k words for this month, so far, so I doubt I'd write anything where I not a judge this month; so I'm not expecting many entries if any at all.

Still, if you have the time...

Well I can't tell you what happens, it kinda ruins the fun. All I can say is, it's dark, very, very dark.

Yeah, I actually remember your comedy stuff, it was fun!

Sounds good. Would that friend be a certain Pandut?

Still, if you have the time...

I'll try for the deadline, but no promises cause I'm getting slightly behind on work related issues and feeling some pressure to meet other deadlines.

Still, I'd like to finally get 0110 out, it's awesomely macabre and twisted.

[capt dec]

Corss mate, you've still got the deadline down as October 31st for the November competition; You might wanna fix that up.

[Jay the Arbiter]

Sounds good. Would that friend be a certain Pandut?

Actually, no. 0.0 - Though Pandut is helping me Iron out the SK Ending. In return, I motivate him to get his Ithak piece done.

Meanwhile, I got complimented for making likeable Locust characters. I still got it!

[rusticangelic]

wow posts and fics disappear fast at the moment, don't even want to fish mine out from the sixth odd page...

[Croswynd]

Corss mate, you've still got the deadline down as October 31st for the November competition; You might wanna fix that up.

Nice catch. Fixeded.

[Sgt. Grub k1ller]

So uh...This fell through. Sorry.I'll be damn sure to do next month, Cros.

[TheRealBigBoss]

Yeah, sorry I missed it too.

[Croswynd]

I expected nothing less, due to it being NaNo, too, even if most of you never entered it.

We can either change the topic for the new month or keep the same one. Pick your poison.

[Sgt. Grub k1ller]

Change it. I can't work with Wretch. Lol.

[Jonesybites]

If nobody did anything for November then I say just keep it, especially now that everyone knows what it is, but that's just my vote.

[SKORGE]

... I can't write.

[TheRealBigBoss]

... I can't write.

Yeah, I figured that out a long time ago.


Lol, wow, that was super beachy! Kidding of course though, SKORGE knows I respect his talents. He has a real flair for characterization, vivid description and kick ass storytelling.

Anyways, on topic, how about a Christmas type story? Pretty sure Jay's already doing one, Jonesy mentioned something about a new chapter or new version of her Christmas comedy story, and I think Rusty and Grub would like it too.
