Etherwind posted:As opposed to a soberly, intermittent state, one assumes. It's the quietness that's the real problem. I'm normally a bit of a loud, boysterous misanthrope. I get quiet and drink all my roommate's kava tea and go on cryptic facebook posting binges (that I delete instantly) and (evidently) preemptively ruin Christmas for grandma in ways I have yet to figure out. It's not a thing for the faint of heart to witness.

"Time waits for no one," "The Hierophant," one thousand words. I think I've got this. Since the Hierophant is the fifth card of the Major Arcana, I'm deducting at least 50 words from my total as a sacrifice to the fates. 950 or bust!

I'm not backing out just because my first entry was bad, so bring it on! The whole point is to improve. Ideally I'll get slightly better with each passing week, until I become good enough to win! Even if this doesn't happen, this is fun as hell, and is worth it for the feedback alone. And reading other neat stories.

Just to clarify this for later, The Magician is also known as The Mountebank- a conman or trickster. The word Mountebank is where we get Three Card Monte from. Martello posted:Gimme a minor

You know, this ain't no fun if you've got no skin in the game. Rather than spend money on an avatar, though, I promise that if I'm selected as the loser I'll donate the equivalent amount to a charity over here.

Hey, I enjoy the games but holy poo poo I'm not looking for writing advice from them. That novel is bugging me due to how poorly written it is. Also, I'm sure I've seen a shop selling stuff like the one Fanky posted somewhere before. I don't remember what country I was in at the time, though.

Yes, all v-novels are like that. It's a seriously dire medium.

Where would I post a Thunderdome entry rewrite? That's done, but it's too long to drop into the critique thread. I don't know I should post it since it's a self-set goal. I've still got three other things to finish before I've hit all the marks anyway.

Maybe post it here after the current competition but before the next one? The thread could do with way more public critique.

Rose Wreck posted:Where would I post a Thunderdome entry rewrite? That's done, but it's too long to drop into the critique thread. I believe in the past people have been encouraged to post a new thread entirely. If you want dedicated critique, that's the way to get it. But I do agree Thunderdome could use some more visible critique. I know it's hard for the judges to read/critique so many pieces in a relatively short amount of time, so maybe we could do some crowd-based critique? IDK how this would work without gumming up the thread, but it's a thought.
