Hi! Welcome. :^) Sorry to hear about your D&D group - that’s a shame. The group I played in for years recently broke up (who knew there could be so much drama! though I guess that’s one of the pitfalls of spending every weekend together since forever) so I sort of feel your pain. Do you have any campaigns published anywhere or were they all for personal use?

I was going to say the cat one actually sounds pretty cool and then I realized it was just Warriors. Goddamnit. The chokehold those books had on me in elementary school… and Animorphs and those rainbow fairy books. :^/ Anyway - experience the entire plot of a crime thriller as the evidence left behind by the killer.

Sorry to anybody who might have read this twice, I posted in the wrong thread. Congrats on the win, Sherbet... x2 now! Body horror is one of my fave subgenres of horror, so looking forward to reading it - & everybody else's entries too of course!! :^) Unfortunately I was ultimately bested by anesthesia, poor time management, and too much yapping. Mizal was right when she said that talking about the contest just encourages lies and sloth, lol. I did write a lot more than I have in a while though, and learned some scripting stuff too (even if I did relapse into my Twine based habits, where most of my wordcount lies). Disappointed in Alien after the 92 pep talks he got.

disregard, posted in the wrong thread like a dummy

What makes them average hands? Also unsure if BANG is the noise a metal bad would make if it clocked you in the back of the head. Maybe more of a thwonk.

Talk about flouncing.

Realistically, my submission hinges 89.2% on how late I’m out on Friday night & how messed up I am post anesthesia on Monday. However, I officially hit the procrastination scramble where I’m motivated by the looming deadline as of… Sunday night, and I already had a good chunk of it done (more than what’s visible on here by a good few thousand words) from when my motivation was high at the beginning. :^P My bet is a nice 24, based purely on vibes.

Yay! I’m excited(?) to read that whole excerpt you posted, now with extra context.

If you’re not using the text editor, just keep putting <*p> until it looks right. Without the asterisks of course. Sometimes it takes a couple repetitions. Or I’m just dumb, idk.

This is a really good post. I’d also like to add (kind of in line with your last point) that sometimes people AREN’T logically consistent. Like you don’t have to go so far as to have them become an Issue(TM) for the sake of it, but if you let your characters have a little “reach” and don’t put them so tightly on a leash, you might be surprised as to what they do, in a way that really IS organic. Again, if this is what works for you, that’s fine, obviously, and I can tell that making sure you have a plan is important to you and your process. That being said, I do think you’re overthinking it, to the point where maybe it will come off as forced to your readers? Though I guess I haven’t read it yet so maybe disregard that. :^P
