Well, luckily for you, the judge of the contest really likes evil protragnoists and at least once in his games you can commit genocide. You don't need to worry about people on this site being too dense to realize obviously the story is anti nazi.

Oh fuck, I missed that entirely. I give him 5th above orange then, then Orange 6th and TP 7th. After 7th is the land of mortals with their mortal word counts, I'd have to read them to see which ones are boring and which are like that one 10k story Malk wrote that ended up winning a contest.

I'm thinking more along the lines of 1. Flux 2. Sherb 3. Mystic 4. Fresh Basing it completely around the concepts and how much interest I think End would have in them. I think Flux is a little less proven in the realm of massive storygames, but assuming his quality can match sherb's or mystic's then I think the storygame concept is much more in line with Endmaster's tastes. If I had to name a fifth place for top 5, I'd go with Orange I think. I don't agree with Mizal in 6th, unless her story is actually really good. Looking at word count and lack of description, it feels like the 13k is more because the story is a lately started entry than it is because those 13k are very careful crafted. I haven't read it though, so I don't know, but I'm assuming around 8th given the fierce competetion. I know word count doesn't really matter, and that short games can be better, but I'd be surpised if 6th and 7th aren't Fab and TP, in whatever order. There's are just so much longer. Fab's looks like a Steven King set up, which might appeal to End seeing as I feel like he kind of like that sort of thing? Please don't be insulted by my words if you are one of the authors I've mentioned. I haven't read any of the games, this is just my impression based on my impression of the authors, the word counts, and the descriptions of the games.

I'm down like 35 since I came here 8 months ago, not much effort on my part. I did change to mostly drinking black oolong tea around new years, but I've been drinking more soda recently again. Might have to put some more effort into the diet when I get back to America. I think it was mostly walking a lot for me that helped, since I'm still eating like shit over here.

Well, as you know, there's nothing an author loves more than people talking about their work, so I'd obviously indulge you. When it comes to that path, I really like that moment, but the fight I wasn't that big of a fan of. But the epilouge I really like, it might be my favorite part of the story, even though it might get a little telly in the dialouge. I like the symbolism of it. When it comes to building up to these moments, it almost feels like the point of writing a story for me. Have a great character arc so you can have an epic moment like that and make it feel earned, and the rest of the story is just built around justifying these moments. I had your one post in mind when I was writing by the way, even if I still haven't gotten through it all yet. For example, this line I had your post in mind. You used your power to make the world worse, for your own gain. She uses her power to make the world better, at the cost of her soul," I don't really like it tbh, but I did think of your post while writing it. I'm sure in other places too.

Don't be timid, go cut some heads off, prove yourself!

Thanks, I really appreciate it. Recently I've gotten to the point with my writing that after writing some scenes, when I go back to read them, they make me feel an extreme emotion. Which is really nice to see, makes me feel like a real writer. As long as I can have that, even if on a technical level the writing isn't the best, I think that's alright. Though I'm much more prone to go hyper into cringe since I find a lot of things really hype when they border on cringe. For example, small spoiler for my game I guess, I really really like this: ""I don't know what the gods have planned for me, or if it all ends here. But I pray to them and to that red sparrow bitch, let me fight evil. Give me the power to stop the injustices right before my eyes. Don't make me helpless again, helpless to watch evil consume the world.”" Which is really dramatic, and some might find cringe, but when I read that I feel very hyped up inside. And I hope that at least some other people are also into this kind of... melodrama? I don't know what to call for it. Sorry I didn't take your spelling and grammar advice from the first page for the game by the way lol. I finished writing and put it in the editor the night before (in my timezone the deadline was noon), and said I would wake up at 6 and do a proofreading. Obviously, I woke up at 9 and had to immediately get ready for my program event that started at 9:30 and lasted until the deadline.

Always down for a good thunderdome match. I get back to Merica' on the 7th, so then I'll actually have free time. Hoping to have a good writing habit this summer.

Back in my day 3 strikes and you were banned smh.
