You, a human mage with little to no reputation (who needs that anyway), are friends with an elf from Summer called Cocoa Lire. You (for some mysterious reason) call her Watermelon.

However, you learn that she is having an affair with a human commander called Jael Rock, which is disastrous for a whole host of reasons:

• Too many to list here (but you get the idea)

Your solution? Convince them to end the relationship!

However, a small problem called 'true love' may make this harder than you think...

WARNING: Contains sadistic goats, holy cucumbers, and a whole lot of other things that may cause heinous offence. You have been warned.

There are seven 'endings' to reach. If you like that kind of thing.

Yes, the Final Draft definitely captures that aura of procrastination we have all experienced at some point into the past, only to make something decent at the last minute :)

I'd like to join this contest!
Maintaining a facade of productivity is an important thing, y'know.

Congrats to Flux, Mystic and Sherbet! And everyone else on this list for submitting something! A decent number of good-quality stories came out of this, which is great.

I have no excuses. I'll go off to edit now. Hopefully the only way from here is up...

Any one of these entries deserves to win, going on the extraordinary effort the authors put into them.

Also Kobold Kebabs should become the new cult classic of the site based on its name alone.

My entry: Rifts

Happy Easter!

I'm at my grandmother's house. We've just had roast lamb for lunch. Hopefully I too shall work on my storygame at some point...

What story-related web search(es) have you made recently?
My last one was 'how far can a horse go in a day' because I don't have that factoid memorised yet.
