Wait, why did I get a DQ? I sent it in at 9 PM PST, and right after I sent it I saw crabrock talking about the extended deadline. Did I make a formatting mistake? Also, that'll teach me to feel confident in my stories.  In for this week.

One person got a DQ for being 200 words over the limit (TRUCKS) one person got a DQ for not signing up before submitting a story (Claire) one person got a DQ for misreading an email address so which were you?

I throw my bones into the true crucible of ThunderDome for the first time. It's a mix of trepidation, anticipation, and a clenching of the buttocks. IN May whatever Gods remain have mercy on my soul.

In. (If anyone cares, Crabrock correctly guessed that I wrote the Pirate's Assistant (thanks for the ++crit, sir), though he may not have known it was to honour the anniversary of receiving my tribal name, Slices-Babies-With-Knives)

This is the Wall of Shame/Fame Congrats to the latter, what the gently caress? to the former. crabrock posted:Winner - Pumpkin Dreams, one of the only stories that actually managed to TELL A STORY, not have some out-of-place gore insert, and bring us to a satisfying conclusion. crabrock posted:HM - A Curious Thing, a fun tale of time travel and who-dun-it that unfortunately ends too abruptly and doesn't have enough depth to be considered for the win crabrock posted:HM - In Memoriam - A fun, jaunty tale of some kid and his dad, which unfortunately is just that. We all agreed we'd like to read more, but in and of itself, this is not a complete story. code:crabrock posted:Loser - A Mother's Worst Fear - Holy MRA Batman. What the christ was going on in this story? It started off that one judge had this for the loss. As we discussed it more, the other two judges started frothing at the mouth and deemed that yes, this was the worst story. Not the most incomprehensible (congratulations #14), but the one that tried the most and fell flat on its face. We all hated reading this. Chicks sure are sluts, right?  crabrock posted:DM - The Pilgrims and the Great Pumpkin - It's like somebody took a history lesson, put it into some sort of Google Translate, did that back and forth a few times and then pasted it as a story. Tomn - Nonpartisan note 1 - this was the first submission I got and I didn't particularly dislike and it made me optimistic for the kind of insane stuff this prompt might provide. Also, congrats Tomn on making the board your first time in TD. Stick with it, I lost, I think, my very first time (if not second). crabrock posted:DM - The Balad of Igor Shishkin - You typoed your title dude. I think that says enough. JcDent - Nonpartisan Note 2 - This was the 6th story I received, and I was starting to feel less optimistic. crabrock posted:DM - Sclerotinia - Nobody knew what this story was trying to say or get at, even if some of the imagery is nice. Hammer Bro crabrock posted:DM - Harvest Rites - Literally not one judge understood what the hell was going on here, and if this is even English. ThirdEmperor This was story #14  crabrock posted:DM - Pumpking - While this could have easily been stuck in the middle, your tactless portrayal of your side character really brought this down a level. Add in a totally unlikable main char, and you have a recipe for disaster. Your Sledgehammer - fulfilling the Congratulations on not getting banned!People who signed up but did not submit this week.

I'll post a key for the rest of you with story titles tomorrow, but I've been dealing with a sick kid all day and am ready to pass out. It was fun getting to help out. Sorry about formatting issues, that was probably my fault. I tried to catch it before I posted it for judging. Sorry if I still messed up! ceaselessfuture posted:Wait, did you guys not get my story then? Sorry about that, hope there's somebody out there that really enjoyed reading unsolicited flash fiction with pumpkin references. kurona_bright posted:The second one, I guess. I honestly thought I pm'd N. Senada... I double-checked my messages and emails but didn't see your entry. Sorry  Maybe claim it's Lowtax's fault and sue him or something. flosofl posted:Correction: 3. Flosofl poo poo, sorry, I blame my tired brain and poor writing skills. Fixed

Don't worry about it. I've had brain errors when it comes to sending email and stuff before, so it's not exactly the biggest surprise for me.
