2023 Spring/Summer Contest: Gone Fishin'

14 days ago
Commended by Sherbet on 5/17/2023 12:25:31 AM
Now that peeps are done with finals and we are cooling down from the fevered battles in the THUNDERDOME I figured I'd go ahead and launch this. It's sunny and beautiful out there, the birds are singing, flowers blooming, but I know you aren't going outside to Do An Activity, you're sitting in a dark room, unblinkingly browsing thousands of memes, growing ever pastier and wondering why you're depressed. Okay but enough about Ford. As for the rest of you, it's simple, just write a storygame somehow related to fishing! Given the popularity of indy Lovecraftian fishing games out there right now, I don't think this should limit anyone too hard on genre or setting. Deadline will be July 3rd, 11:59PM. THERE WILL BE NO EXTENSIONS. And just a moment here to give my thanks to the glorious and talented MHD for the thread art. Now we know what Berka's been up to all this time!

And just wanting to mention that since I'm the one judging, if anyone gets an urge to do any puzzles or scripty stuff, feel free because I have a MUCH higher tolerance for such things than End does.

I have it on good authority that Mystic already has 60k words and is working on a TV show adaptation.

Here's some motivation: If you win this one, I'll make sure all future themes enforce heterosexuality so Darius can never write in this town again.

That’s all I needed. Time to write like I’m Asian

And if I win, Petros' next contest entry has to feature a gay character.

Chicken chicken, scared that I might win? Do you have so little faith in your writing skills?

I am outrageously confident. If you manage to drag your wooden shoes to victory, I will write a contest entry so gay it’ll make “It’s a Boy” look straight

That's good since between actually making me laugh and joining a contest you potentially have the chance to raise your status around here. 

Do a really good job and you might even find yourself back in the positive points.

I was hoping to publish my current storygame as my first 'big' work on the site, but it may be this instead.  I'm in.

Having not done a contest before and only skimmed previous contest threads, is there much discussion about the kind of storygames people have in development for these contests?  Particularly for something with a prompt like this that seems to lend it self to a more mechanically complex storygame.

I am assuming everyone will start their entry a week before the deadline, and then Mystic will spawn in suddenly with 100k words, just like always.

2023 Spring/Summer Contest: Gone Fishin'

You mean half will start around a week before the deadline while the other will realize there's only a week left and give up to be shamed again...

Oh hello, I remember you. I remember thinking a few times "this alarmingly tiny person should not be using the forum". But I guess it really has been four years, dang. THEY GROW UP SO FAST. :*)

This is purely so that I can keep track of other people. But here's the list of the contestants so far.

Predictions: I'm genuinely scared of Malk, he'll definitely produce something good. Sherbet will write another tense horror story. Typecat, Anthraxus and Petros are loose cannons, can go either way. Yummy will certainly be the best planner among the whole pool.

Write better than Petros. I believe in you. (It's really not because so that I have to do less to avoid shame)
