IN A WORLD WHERE PEOPLE WRITE WELL ONE MAN CHOSE A DIFFERENT PATH. "Rules are meant to be broken! I get results, dammit!" DocBeard spat angrily, before blowing up a building full of critics who were also nuns. Also angrily. "IN", belched the flaming wreckage. Angrily. Oh so angrily.

Otherwise (Just clarifying for the record, because I'm going to come down hard on that poo poo). Also for the record: I am a judge this week and I hate useless adverbs and adjectives and said bookisms, SO USE THEM WISELY AND SPARINGLY.

Masonity breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that 'On one hand' hadn't come in last, or even received a dishonorable mention. "I really thought I was for it!" he explained. "When the early entries were posted and I quite rightly had the lowest score, I actually saved my current avatar, so I could re-buy it one day!" "But you've made money writing terrible erotica, thanks to this very website!" his conscience demanded. "You owe them better than the tripe you posted last time. You owe them a decent attempt!" "I guess you are right." Masonity grinned. "Time to get writing I guess... After I console Benny on winning a sparkly new avatar!" ps. The "console benny on winning a new avatar" idea should be reserved for Benny himself maybe?

"In", he blathered, noting that some fool on the Internet has compiled a list of 325 dialogue tags as a freely downloadable ebook. "Sebmojo has proposed on IRC", he further publicised, "that we each make a random selection of several of these which we have to use in our submissions". "I have ruptured, nagged, publicized, bemoaned and barked," he conveyed. "Those wishing to join can find a random number generator here," he informed.

I finished the extra crits that were requested (if I am totally dumb and still forgot someone let me know). Also if you didn't ask for a crit already, don't ask for one now, these few extra crits took me like two hours: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1QQv4Z01SgSKfNsmGZgVQSFft3nmoc8EVXk6fFmWSfiA/edit

I've finished the Crits for the previous week. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WCTuyNLYv2Z6WCiARBxwG6IefBCTUlW4CWM7i5VVrn4/edit?usp=sharing At least one of you made me weep blood. Another one made me go "omg gently caress youuuuuuuu." And someone else had me go "Please let Kobe Bryant save our souls." But none of you, save one, made me a liar, when I told people in another thread that you were putting in a conscious effort to improve your writing. Your story was the worst, you displayed zero effort in making your writing presentable. I was scandalised and ashamed, and I hope you die like

If you have another computer, write it in a word processer, use USB to transfer it to your phone, and then open the file, copy it, and paste it into your browser as an SA reply.

Allegiance is fluid in the Thunderdome. Starter Wiggin, we collaborated together last week, but this week we will meet on the battlefield. It's time to brawl. Just a warning: unlike your precious Kilkenny cats, there won't be any trace of you left once I am done.

There's nothing so tragic as seeing a family pulled apart by something as simple as a pack of wolves. You each have 72 hours to write 720 words on the theme of "Pack Mentality" NB: I was relatively polite and accommodating in the spirit of last round's collaboration theme. I shall not make the same mistake here.
