                      END MASTER’S PROMPT CONTEST 5

     

Deadline: 11:59 PM (EST) April 1st, 2026

Reward: The enemies you make along the way

Alright it’s that time again for all of you faggots to pick a prompt and then fuck off for several months until close to the deadline where upon half of you will flake out completely and get thrown in the SHAME pit. Of those remaining half, most of them will turn in unfinished shit because guess what? They fucked off for several months instead of actually focusing!

And MAYBE among the rest who miraculously manage to completely follow through with their ideas we’ll get some good stuff. Well that’s the hope anyway since I have to read all this shit. 

Still, I would like to see you slothful fucktards at least put in more fucking effort in turning in something this year. Yeah we got some of the best story submissions last contest, but let’s try for quantity as well as quality too. 

After all, this is the grand CYStian community tradition and we don’t want these contests to end up deader than a CoGite’s dick in a room full of biological women.

Speaking of which, for fuck’s sake try to avoid writing gay porn this year. Seriously we’ve had enough of that for awhile now, this isn’t the IFag’s SpringThing where you need to cross your t-girls and dot your intersexed for alphabet soup points.

Note: I didn’t say you can’t write gay protagonists if you really feel the need to represent yourself, I just said don’t write fucking gay PORN or you’re getting cast down to the bottom level of the SHAME pit automatically.

So if you pick say the prompt about joining a new cult don’t make it about a bunch of cross dressing degenerates sucking a giant disembodied cock that baptizes them its “divine” juice or some shit. Do something wholesome like a bunch of freaks dressing in the skins of their victims and carving their eyes out so they can "see" their true god Fluffy the Unnamable or some shit.

Anyway, if you’re joining the contest pick a prompt from the list below. When you’re done writing your story be sure to link it to this thread.

That’s about it for now, unless I think of something else to change as needed.

Locked

I'll take 46 so that Ben can't say "instructions unclear" and write gay porn again.

Locked.

Also, I'll be rescuing Derp AGAIN. Since someone seems to have nudged Derp back over the edge, I'm sure it was an accident.

Since EndMaster has graciously offered me a semi pardon and raised me out of the Third Level of SHAME (home of the Evil Rape Scorpions from Hell) into the second level, I'll join this contest, pay the 100 point fee, and take prompt 23. Time to give that another shot.

Locked (even though I can edit my own posts now)

Prompt 18 has been locked in by Mystery Contestant

7 please!

:(

I'll take 27!

locked

Prompt 13 LOL

Locked

The gods of RNG have told me to pick prompt 21.

Locked in

Prompt 10

I am NOT betting my account, I've decided to simply become the top Warden, an act that should be as simple as stepping over a pile of dog shit on a sidewalk.

I do however think my storygame will be better than anything produced by Chris113022, MiltonManThing, stories_unwritten, and Clayfinger, and would bet 25 points against each of them unless they're too cowardly to take me up on that. (Or unless they're too cowardly to enter the contest at all.)

You're the one that just sucked Endmaster's dick for a pardon.

I changed my mind, because Clayfinger despite naming himself after the finger he puts inside his own butt made a good point against those kinds of bets.

If you don't like it, go make another thread complaining instead of cluttering up this one, I'm sure some mod will give you another pity comm for a paragraph if you keep it under 300 words.

Deal! *begins the sacred Warden snot exchange and backwards duck walking ritual of agreement*

Hmm, at least you aren't completely retarded. Although, at this point, I'm almost fully convinced you're someone's alt and your whole purpose is to rage bait wardens into doing things. So, I'm mostly going to be ignoring you until you actually publish your story game.

I'll take 47, and also add a 0 to my SHAME fee turning it into a bet that I'll turn in something of actual quality instead of a game to troll people.

Locked

Locked

The journey of a thousand tales begins with a single story !

I will take prompt 3: the underwater adventure. It will be better than SpecialOlympic (not a bet, just a fact).

Locking in ｼ

Can I take 49, please?

Locked

Also, who was it RK was going to pull out of the third level of shame last contest? Because I'll drag whoever it was up with me.

Chris, and he's already out of the lowest level of the pit.

Ah, okay.

Is there someone else worth dragging up a level?

Nobody of any note really.

I'll take prompt five. I wrote something similar for my first thunderdome, and it stinks down here in the SHAME pit.

Can I place a 200 point bet that I place in the top five?

Locked in and don't fucking write gay porn.

Very nice prompts this time round. I would like number 12 please.

Locked

I'll take prompt 42 please.

Locked

Prompt 17, I'll try this again.

Even if the one about Hitler made me laugh. Is it a date night?

And locked.

35

Locked

I'll take 6 please.

Locked.

I'll take 32

locked

Prompt 1, please!

Locked

If I can join this, I'd like to try my hand at #50

Locked.

I'd like Prompt 26 please. In addition to my shame tax of 100 points, I'd like to make a further 50 point bet that I will write a well-thought out, complete, and non-rushed game that is of objective quality and not last-minute rushed slop.

Locked. Good luck.

Thank you Avo!

Can I have 15?

Locked.

Locked.

I was tempted with that one. Look forward to seeing what you make, assuming your guess is correct and you don't wind up joining Dark.

Okay... I wasn't gonna be back, but I'll try to honor Will by completing something for prompt # 19

Locked and willing to risk the extra 100 points.

Edit: willing to pull someone out of triple shame if there is anyone active.

24 prompts left. Already more than half have been taken.

I couldn't find a prompt I'm in love with this time, but I'm at least a little interested in 43. So I'll take that before there's nothing left at all that I might want to do. "A story where an archaeologist makes an incredible discovery."

I only have a vague idea about what I might do here, but the truth is, SHAME is worse than getting a full idea only to find the one prompt that will work with it is gone.

I like multiple of them. Are you sure none of them vibe with you?

I get into a certain headspace where I have two or three ideas, and if nothing matches, I have nothing. This is the only one that matched, but it matched to the vaguest idea I had. \_(-_-)_/

EDIT: the siege one would work, but Fabrikant will bring us something awesome with it instead.

Oh. I can come uo with ideas on the whim, and usually they start to develop pretty fast.

Not me. My ideas are painstaking in their development. :/
Not so much a creativity issue as it is a passion issue. If I don't love it, I get bored way too easily.

Funny enough I usually do the opposite where I go through all the prompts and think of a quick and vague outline to a story for each of them and then pick whichever I like best, but this time I took your approach since I had a few game ideas that would otherwise sit on shelf forever. We'll see how it works for me.

Also it's not like you didn't stretch the prompt to its limits last year and still ended up with a winner.

LOL true. The way I plan this year will be more true to the prompt. But I got to say, I'm impressed you could come up with ideas for each one.

You guys are way overthinking this, I picked mine because I wanted to make a joke about Ben being a degenerate.

If a prompt allows for fantasy it's always possible to bullshit something out.

Those kind of stories are great for a cleanse after reading the inevitable cringe these major contests produce.

Most of those were either extremely vague, generic or derivative. Like if I were to pick prompt 1 I'd just do a Running Man game but more in the spirit of the old movie or using 14 as a base I'd make a story with a protagonist who was the last one in a battle for godhood and now has to put the world together after bringing it to ruin. And those are just 2 I didn't feel like doing.

I find ideas to be a dime a dozen and it's all about where you take whichever one you chose to go with in that moment.

Oops sorry. I will do my best to try to live up to that.

Fastest shooter in the west man

Will I flake again? We shall see.. I would like prompt 8 please! I will also pay my 50 point shame fee!

Locked

I'm a sucker for these. Give me Prompt 48.

Locked. Best of luck, Milton!

This one looked very tempting to me... I can't wait to see what you do with it!

I have a feeling I'm going to regret this but I'm in:

30) A story involving a road trip.

 

 

 

Locked!

Does April 1st mean Endmaster is just going to delete all the stories and cancel the contest as a prank?

I'll take #11: A story involving court intrigue while attempting to seduce one (or more!) of your relatives.


Locked

Special Group Hug Bonus! - Double points if you complete a solid story! (And whatever reward I feel is appropriate)

I'll take the airship prompt please.

Have you heard of "Dimension 20: Cloudward Ho!"? I was very tempted to take this one and do a fan fiction of that actual play series.

Eh this guy was banned last year from what he said so he's not locked in and the prompt is still open for now.

From something he SAID? HERE?

I haven't but I'll look it up. My world is sort of inspired by some of the old Final Fantasy games, I'd probably make it a real RPG if I knew how to code. There's going to be a big map and you'll hear of missions in certain locations, but it's always going to be a choice since you can't be in two places at once and there will be consequences to not doing certain things in time.

Funny you say that. I was thinking about the airship one to do a Final Fantasy fanfic. I'll shelve that one for a later date though.

So Papaya needs someone to pull him up from the third level of the SHAME pit so he can participate in contests next time, anyone want to do that (Provided you aren't already doing it for someone else) First come first serve.

I'll tag these two though since they mentioned being willing to pull someone up.

@Cat2002116

@Shadowdrake27

 

I'll volunteer.

Alright, I'll make that note then.

Ahh, I was beat to it... next person that asks you can assume I will. I have no grudges that I have the energy to enforce at the moment. I'd pick someone, but I didn't recognize anyone in the third level when I looked quickly. 

You might as well take Spartacus/Coins.

He won't ever write a storygame, but this means I can resume nagging him about it.

Okay, deal.

Hi, can I get 41?

Locked

I'm guessing the answer will be no, but can I take two prompts?

Mystic did that last year so yeah you can though you usually have issues even completing one story for a contest, let alone two.

On second thought you're probably right lol, I should try to focus. My main story has just been a little slow going though and I suddenly had an idea for a fun retelling of Noah's Ark. I'll just save that for another contest though.

I should have more time to write this month though, I was getting extra hours from a seasonal position that's done with now.

If you wanted to take one prompt and work ideas from another into the story you could also do that. Just because your story has to be about prompt 1, it doesn't mean it could be a type or story that also fits prompt 35 as well. If you mean two separate stories... good luck! I'm really hoping I can finish one...

That's what I tried to do last year, but it added to an already bad scope creep in my concept. It can be a fun challenge to work in additional prompts, but make sure you finish the main prompt you select.

Also did this with three prompts last time (Naval Warfare + Underwater Adventure + Pacifist Protagonist). Worked out well for me.

Maybe just work on finishing one real story this time.

And I just want to mention for everyone while I'm here that there should not be any half assed meme fics or lolrandom shit this time. It's End's contest and maybe inflated irony ratings on dumb garbage will save you from SHAME, but I will personally carry out vengeance against anyone who wastes reviewer's time this way.

Prompt 2

Locked

I'll take prompt 36.

Locked (or apparently not because SHAME)

You need to be rescued from the shame pit before you can participate in a contest I think.

I'm afraid you're triple SHAMED right now.

...and a Warden too huh, damn I know some people that are going to have fun with this.

Perhaps someone in the Pit of SHAME could possibly wager their account to join? Perhaps a top 10 finish as the minimum hurdle? But what mad fool would make such a reckless bet?

I would make this bet without batting an eyelid if the m(g)ods were so generous to allow it.

In manus tuas commendo spiritum meum.

Of course you would, you've done nothing with this account except join contests and then disappear. Wouldn't be a very exciting bet though when you have nothing of value to lose.

Yeah i was going to say this, my bet is worth close to nothing to you, so i understand if nobody takes me up on that.

However i have decided to write on this prompt either way, even if unable to participate in the contest i will produce a story, more to prove a point to myself.

Prompt 44) A story about a small group of isolated survivors.

Locked

Good luck. You're probably going to need it.

Well if anyone wants to try to pull Marte out of the bottom level of the SHAME pit and isn't already pulling someone else out, they can go ahead and mention it.

I don't suppose someone also in shame (but only at level one) could do so? I've got nothing better to do, and I'm feeling generous

Would you be willing to make Flux's bet on it (see above)?

I thought that was a reference to this.

Oh wow, it's been a hot minute since that happened. That is also what I first thought of when I saw his bet though, lol.

Ah, the legendary fail.

Wait, I'm just seeing this for the first time, did he win? (Note--sarcasm)

I mean, the loss was so epic that it can only be called a win.

Did he turn anything in at all? Judging by the brief description it probably wasn't something that would be well-received here... but I'm curious if he even came up with something.

IIRC I don't think he did. Like he started and posted some pages but never finished.

Here's the link if you want some LOLs, Shadow:

https://chooseyourstory.com/story/bastard

Chris and Sent also did a few dramatic readings, with more passion and originality than what was present in the original piece:

Sent's dramatic reading: https://audio.com/sent-nel/audio/basically-this-is-what-happened

Chris's dramatic reading: https://audio.com/chris-l-7/audio/bastard

The most likely explanation, given the April Fools joining date, and the fact that the user never logged in after the 19th of April, was that it was an alt of someone playing up this overly enthusiastic caricature who made a complete fool out of themselves for the LOLs.

Ahh, thank you RK! I will check it out later. Seems like a fun time. I love the challenge and the confidence. It's not often you see a guy take on seven at once. 

Usually that kind of guy has severe self-esteem issues. To take seven at once requires more than mere physical flexibility and endurance, but also a deep shamelessness.

We were the true winners at the end of it all for getting to experience that whole episode.

So glad I was at least slightly invovled in the the whole TIG event.

I'm not confident enough to put my account on the line, if that's what you're asking

That was what I was asking.

The real question when it comes to this one is why you would bother.

I'd be willing to pull them out of shame IF they can post a commendation worthy short story/poem in the Writing Workshop. Of course, there might be somebody else willing to do it with no strings attached. If there is, you can ignore my offer.

I've never seen them post anything, so they can't be too bad. However, if they end up at the bottom of The SHAME Pit again, they're on their own

Before Marte's other posts in this thread, these were all their latest posts. Joining contests and then completely fucking off somewhere.

Anyway as I said, if someone wants to pull Marte out, just say you are and I'll mark it down.

I noticed this as well. And lol'd.

I would be tempted to try, but if I'm pulling someone up, I want it to at least be someone who'll make an effort with their second chance. I doubt this person would.

Why I have similarly been hesitant to volunteer.

I completely understand the hesitation, thank you anyways for the consideration, i have done nothing on this website so far except entering those contests only to give up for various reasons. Perhaps that was needed as from the point where i'm at one can only go up, i've started writing some short stories which i plan on sharing on this website soon and i will try to publish a story with this prompt anyways, even outside the contest.

All right. I'll give @Marte a chance and pull them up from the bottom of the SHAME pit.

Don't make me regret it.

Alright, I've made the note.

Prompt 45 has been locked in by Secret Contestant.

After this contest the SHAME Pit will be updated to toss any of the really slothful still sitting in the third level of SHAME into OBLIVION (Where upon being banned, they are also being violated by even bigger Abyssal Rape Scorpions FOREVER)

Finally, some justice for the Abyssal Rape Scorpions.

Is it really rape if the victims make no effort to resist or escape whatsoever? I feel like the scorpions are getting a bad rep for no reason.

I think it counts if it's against their will, which then it doesn't count because I'm pretty sure most people down there don't have a will.

I mean unless I remember the definition wrong awareness isn't required to consititude rape since it's about the general lack of consent. So deserved or not it is still technically rape.

Hmm, true. I stand corrected. Abyssal rape scorpions are aptly named then.

Are we going with the affirmative consent version or the implied consent version? But if the standard is some sort of written consent, then presumably the people in the pit of shame are definitely fucked, since they couldn't be bothered to write anything to prevent being raped by scorpions.

Well, I may as well try this out in my free time. 25?

For someone who suddenly said they were going to be around less, you've been here more than ever.

Locked.

I can't disagree with that. Dunno why I said it if I'm here so much, but meh I guess. Anyway, thanks!

I'll take 16.

Locked

Alright I've been eyeing this prompt for a while, I'm biting the bullet and using the contest as motivation for finishing a story.

Give me #33.

Locked

Oh wow, you picked the cancer one. Neat! I remember that prompt being missed last time. Good luck!

Yeah it seemed unique so I wanted to give it a spin. Although writing the whole cancer thing isn't the challenge for me, it's the genre of story I'm shooting for (superheroes).

Good luck with your work too! :) Traveling merchant seems like a fun one.

A superhero with cancer? Or someone with cancer befriending one? Very interesting concept.

I think Chris actually made a story with a hero dying of cancer. It was pretty good, don't know why he took it down.

A superhero with cancer! I was originally going to go with just Some Guy but I played around with some other ideas and that stuck.

Does he have super-fast regenerative powers, a messed-up face, and a cruel (but good) sense of humor by any chance?

I played a game of Marvel Superheroes where my character was a super-healer. The game never really took off, but my plan was to have him fight people by inducing super-fast growing tumors, kind of like an Akira growth.
