Just somebody else let me know if this is cool, and I'll start thinking of a prompt.

I accept and am working on something as we speak. BLOOD MUST FLOW.  To be fair, Martello started it when he posted that stupid flash rule about me posting a submission that included sex, even when the prompt explicitly stated otherwise. Of course I escalated and am manning up appropriately, don't get me wrong, and now this foot in my mouth is just so delicious it tastes like honey did you know that and ok I'll stop talking now. Sitting Here posted:Well duh, sex scene brawl. No, thanks. As much I want to put Martello in his place, I don't wanna get banned because of some jackass who'll go Some Jackass posted:Oh my god, they're posting So, seeing as I kinda am involved, may I humbly request that the prompt not include sex?

You guys should write a story with vivid erotic elements that is not creepy and bannable. Caveat: Every character in the piece is trans/posthuman.

Fair enough. Seems well for me. I can do subtle erotica, but vivid? Oh, I'm not sure if I can but I don't give a gently caress because this is the THUNDERDOME, bitches! You want vivid erotic elements? YOU GOT IT, HOSS! And seeing as I don't know what trans/posthuman means and I don't think I can write in that style, this should be interesting.

Fanky Malloons posted:Don't question me, you turd Ohhhhh gently caress I just saw that you're one of Those Deemed Worthy. Please accept my deepest apologies. Fanky Malloons posted:This is cool though, but you should totally use Sitting Here's prompt I don't know. I mean, I hate to question you again but look at it this way: if I do that, then if Heretic doesn't produce he can just use the same "I'M SO UNCOMFORTABLE" excuse when he doesn't show up. It'd be more humiliating if I give him and Martello a different prompt and he still doesn't come through. If you don't agree, then I completely respect your right to overrule me and change the prompt as needed. But if you're cool...then here's my prompt:  THUNDERBRAWL HereticMIND vs. Martello The Prompt You two are to write your own stories about the first meeting between two young lovers, taking place on Planet Earth between the years of 1983 and 1998. Your characters must be no younger than 12, no older than 15. Obviously, it goes without saying that you will not write a sex scene. Echo Cian's rules for her prompt still apply. You will SHOW US the seeds of a loving, beautiful relationship. You may not TELL US. You may not use phrases like "I think I'm in love" or "I'm falling for you" or any of that poo poo. You will demonstrate through narrative and carefully crafted dialogue. You will do it within 1250 words (I'm giving you an extra fifty), and assuming the terms are agreed upon, you will hand it in within 48 hours, starting from the time of this post. Is it agreed? Or did Sitting Here just beat me to it? EDIT: If this prompt is accepted, I will invite Sitting Here and Fanky Malloons to co-judge with me, out of respect for their veteran standing here.

Synchronicity (WORD COUNT: 654) The circuits whirred gently across her skin, and her fingers looped into the nest of wires atop his (not its, she almost reminded herself) head. Shelly didn't know how she got here, nor did she think that she even wanted to know. All that she knew was that this was as close to heaven as she was going to ever be, that she wasn't some engineer that had bills to pay, was working at some dead-end job that stiffed her paycheck for the umpteenth time... Now, all that mattered was that she was a woman, and by God did she ever feel like one! She was there, right on the cusp of blissful oblivion, only a few more strokes and he'd send them both off the edge and into the enveloping embrace of nirvana—! ~~ She named him Ashlan. His official designation was Home Sanitation/Psychology Unit 453-776H-ZZ9. A mouthful of numbers, letters and words that didn't really roll off the tongue elegantly enough for her liking. Hence, the name of Ashlan. She could remember the first time she referred to him by that moniker. He almost stumbled on his own servos, the poor dear! It was almost adorable the way he righted himself just before he knocked over a vase full of Martian Bluebells. She could remember the following conversation not two months later, either. “Query: Permission to speak requested.” “Yes, Ashlan?” “Observation: This Unit's designation is 453-776H-ZZ9. Mistress deviates from protocol, referring to said Unit as 'Ashlan.' Query: Why is Mistress doing such?” “Well, Ashlan is your name.” “Negative Reply: This Unit does not find Mistress' answer sufficient. Rebuttal: This Unit and all other Units have never been 'named' by Masters before. Query: Is this Unit the first to be 'named?'” “Well...I suppose. I figured since you didn't have a name, I might as well give you one because...well, you exist. Yeah, you're a buncha' wires and servos and gizmos all put together, but you have a personality. You have dreams, Ashlan. You have character.” “Confused Rebuttal: But this Unit is not human, Mistress.” “Doesn't matter. You may be different than me physically, but deep down you're like me. Someone who wants, someone who needs, someone who laughs, cries, sighs, loves, and lives, just like me. “Anything else?” ~~ “O—Observ—Observation: M-Muh-Mistresssssssssssss, thi-the-this Unit issssssssszzzzzz nearing—[ERROR: CANNOT COMPLETE SUBROUTINE X-24-16-YYH—W-W-W-WARNING! SYSTEM-SYSTEM-SYSTEM OVERLOAD IMMINENT]” “Ashlan! Ohhhhhhhhh, Ashlannnnnnnnnn! I'm right there, baby! Right loving there—!” They suddenly reached the peak of passion, the very thing they had sought from the start of their oddball relationship. Then, they fell off the edge together and spiraled down into oblivion's grasp, achieving—oh, what was the word? Harmony. Unity. Bliss. Rapture. Synchronicity. Yes, that was the term she was searching for. As they came down from their heights of passion, Shelly could only sigh in content. She just had the best sex she ever had, hands down. It was everything she ever dreamed of, and then some. Ashlan, with all his lovable pluck and flair, broke the silence after what seemed like hours. “Preliminary Observation: Mistress' endorphin levels are 200% above previously recorded levels and falling. Conclusion: This Unit has met/exceeded Mistress' expectations. Query: Is this correct?” “Yeah...you were amazing, Ashlan. I never knew...I never even thought that...” “Self-Deprecating Observation: Mistress was the better performer.” “Aw, shucks, Ash.” Seriously, she didn't know how her blush could even get any redder. Maybe Ash had a way with words that no other Unit ever could have. “Query: Mistress...can we do this again?” “Wow. Yeah, sure. Not right now, though. I'm still coming down from the incredible high you gave me...God, that was some drat good sex, Ashlan. You're incredible.” “Proud Statement: This Unit aims to please its Mistress.” And did he ever make good on that boast. But that's a story for another time... ~~~~~~~~ Google Docs link (formatted): https://docs.google.com/document/d/1G0HPG2sXU4vrdFIqiPLauEK3ld936sjhG59XMCK7xlY/edit?usp=sharing DDL: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B6G29RwFpAuMNmZDQW9mUThSWG8/edit?usp=sharing You wanted quasi-cyberpunk erotica, you got quasi-cyberpunk erotica.

Thunderdome Week XXVIII: Show Me the Love! RESULTS Most of the stories this week were solid - but those that failed, failed hard. For a prompt about showing an existing romance there was an awful lot of murder, suicide, and senility, and several of you missed the point entirely. THE WINNER: Newcomer Kaishai, for the best display of the prompt with some touching moments in the prose to boot. Honorable Mentions: Jeza, whose story was a bit overwritten but quite lovely; and BlackFrost, who took the apparent coffee motif of the week and made something out of it. THE LOSER: Other newcomer Horrible Butts, whose piece, though amusing, relied on explicitly telling the reader that the "characters" in question were in love, when the prompt just as explicitly said not to do that. Dishonorable Mentions: Noah, who showed us more toilet humor than love; and toanoradian, whose story was barely sensible but at least didn't ignore the prompt. Kaishai, Martello and I will be joining you on the judging panel this week. We await your prompt.

Thunderdome Week XXIX: Written in the Stars Judges: Kaishai, Echo Cian, and Martello I love the Zodiac, don't you? All that predestination, all that symbology, all that fulfillment of a vital role in the tabloids, and all of it based on patterns in the stars that ancient astrologers must have been drunk as hell to see. Your prompt this week is Written in the Stars. Write a story of up to 1,200 words based on the Tropical Zodiac sign to which your regdate belongs--mine would be Scorpio, for example. Your story must relate to your sign in some way, whether that means its symbology, its mythological ties, or some random OkCupid quiz's description of its attributes. You may want to go with Astrology.com instead of OkCupid, though, since I'm not going to hunt down anything too obscure. And! Your story must also include some technology, field of study, or other form of specialized knowledge that you currently know nothing about, and that knowledge must play a significant role. No drat tossing in a reference to your protagonist's career in astrophysics and thinking you're done. You need to do some research, and you need to do it in the Ask/Tell subforum. Either post in an established thread or start your own. The signs and their dates as per Wikipedia: Aries: March 21 - April 20 Taurus: April 21 - May 21 Gemini: May 22 - June 21 Cancer: June 22 - July 22 Leo: July 23 - August 22 Virgo: August 23 - September 23 Libra: September 24 - October 23 Scorpio: October 24 - November 22 Sagittarius: November 23 - December 21 Capricorn: December 22 - January 20 Aquarius: January 21 - February 19 Pisces: February 20 - March 20 Sign-up deadline: Friday, February 22, 11:59pm USA Eastern. Submission deadline: Sunday, February 24, 11:59pm USA Eastern. I look forward to reading your stories about fish-tailed goats who wear Lolita fashion! But note that Homestuck fanfiction is punishable by your viscera being ripped out through your eye sockets somehow.
