![]() ![]() I'll keep this one simple. For once. In a small town tucked away in the old country, a baseball game is being held to decide the fate of the human race. 1,300 words, one week from today (that is, Tuesday).

![]() ![]() What up. http://phobialist.com/ Pick a phobia. Write a story. Tell me what fear you pick before signups close. Phobias that have already been taken can't be picked again. The judges will gladly pick one for you if you're undecided. I fully expect to read ~30 cookie cutter stories of Johnny Protagonist overcoming his deep-seated fear of heights or bees so if you want to win uhmmm maybe not do that (or do it really well (lol)). You can be creative with the prompt, so long as I can see how your fear is relevant to the story. No erotica, fanfic yadda yadda yadda fineprint please don't suck thanks SIGNUPS BY: Fri, 26 Sept 2014, 23.59 PDT SUBMISSIONS BY: Sun, 28 Sept 2014, 23.59 PDT MAX WORD COUNT: 1250 Judges: Entenzahn LOU BEGAS MUSTACHE Erogenous Beef Very brave or very stupid: SurreptitiousMuffin ![]() Skwid (Lutraphobia- Fear of otters.)

Erogenous Beef leaned over his keyboard, nearly knocking over his monitor-dildo. It wasn't in his mouth right now, because something else had stolen his gaze: through the glare of the monitor, he saw his old enemy stepping up to the plate. "I can eat a dick, huh?" he said, "well Muffin can eat a sausage." Alright. I can do that.

Thalamas posted:I'm dropping out of the brawl. Sorry, folks. You're taking the wind right out of my sails, man. Dropping out of a 'dome is commonplace, but brawls are a sacred thing, mano a mano (a mano a mano). What victory is there without competition? And also that thing that Mercedes said before I got a chance to say it.

Anomalous Blowout posted:I feel like this is one of the stronger entries that didn't HM. But don’t get too full of yourself, there’s still some issues. When have I been full of myself? I've always just been here to try to improve my writing ![]()

Anomalous Blowout posted:I'm not Fanky, but here's how I'd do it: This. Sorry, I didn't actually consider how you were going to archive it, my bad. Benny the Snake posted:*sniff* *sniff* FRESH MEAT! Woah there, champ. How about, instead of blindly brawling everyone who offers you the slightest criticism, you actually take the time to read, absorb, and apply what they're telling you? Giving you any kind of critique is the most frustrating thing ever because honestly, I don't know if you even look at them, or if you just go "welp, didn't win, better dive right back in there without pausing to think about why". I mean, your writing has improved slightly since you've been entering the dome, and I admire that you always come back and try again, but holy goddamn poo poo, with all of the critiques and advice that people have given you, you shouldn't just be marginally better at writing, you should have vastly improved. It actually boggles my mind. Because of this, I suggest that if you're so desperate to brawl, you brawl yourself. The rules will be thus: You will wait until I post a thorough critique of your most recent submission. You will actually read this critique - and I mean you will study the goddamn hell out of it. Once you've done that, you may choose any folk tale from last week that takes your fancy and you will write a new story based on that, in which you demonstrate that you have done your critique-reading homework by actually applying the advice that I give you. Further (though this part will have to just be on your honour, I guess), you will not post your entry until you have read it out loud to yourself and given it at least one round of edits. You will have 72 hours from the time I post your crit (which will probably be later this afternoon/evening), and a limit of 1,000 words. There's no prize for winning if you choose to accept this challenge, other than avoiding the shame of losing a brawl against yourself, obviously, and the fact that if you win it will mean that you have actually shown a marked improvement in your work. I don't even know what your punishment should be if you lose, because to lose against yourself should literally be impossible.
