I think thunderbrawls should be in-thread, and there should be no limit to how many you can do. You just have to pay X money to do them. A tab is kept until the end of the month, and you must donate that amount to a charity of our choosing (must provide screenshot proof) at the end of the month or face a ban from TD. Maybe forever, maybe for the next month. Something along the lines of $1 USD to challenge someone, and they can pay $1 to accept on their tab or you can pay $2 to cover their tab and yours (along with picking the prompt), and they're the dick for not writing for charity. If someone wants to sponsor a fight, they can put it on their tab. It's a great idea because it's FOR THE CHILDREN, you greedy hacks.

These are all petty concerns considering the massive cash flow it would generate. We could point it at a world problem, and this thread could have it solved in a couple months. But for the sake of arguing in good faith, I'll address your points: 1) It shouldn't be hard to pick one organization that everyone can agree on. Something that wouldn't cause any moral conflicts like donating to the IDF. 2/3) While I see your side, it's simply the way of the world that the fiscally responsible have put themselves in the position where they have the best resources to make informed decisions. 4) I wouldn't consider it so much a donation as a tax on the privilege of self-expression. 5) To groom a proper community, it is necessary to keep certain types from jumping into the middle of things without having first proven themselves capable. Much like keeping a country club running smoothly, it's best to let them serve the community so they can have an up-close view of how everything works. In reality, it's offering them a grand opportunity. I hope I have answered your questions fully and we've come to an understanding.

However, it has come to our attention that some of you are carrying on a conversation that would be better suited to the following fine thread: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3527106 Please feel free to get your rear end in there to discuss poetry in more detail than specifically mocking another participant.

I'm introducing a real flash rule because I can and gently caress the police. Before you submit, read this: http://www.brainpickings.org/index.php/2013/01/14/how-to-write-with-style-kurt-vonnegut/ Choose one (or perhaps more) and apply it to your story with gusto. Identify which you were attempting by putting the number at the top.

Vonnegut's fourth rule help me squeeze this one in under the limit; I tried to follow rules one, two, three, six and seven to varying extents. Being totally honest, I wrote with his other eight rules in mind. Please unquote for editor's sakes

SurreptitiousMuffin posted:Way to blow your load early. We were going to spring that on them at the end, remember? Do you read their stories every week? The 1/3 of them that don't actually read the thread before or after squeezing out some kernel-pocked turd won't see it, and the rest are so cognitively disadvantaged that they won't remember it as soon as they see a pair of jangling keys. Also, it's a warning to edit poo poo before you post (due to the way-extended sign-up). You folks are locked in, and it's ultra-shame if you don't produce now. We'll think of some cruel and/or creative ways to gently caress with non-producers.

I've got my fingers crossed that neonnoodle is going to be cruel as hell to you guys next week. Also calling not-it as a judge in case neon jumps off the cliff and requires a 2500 word minimum. It'll be the other judges' funerals and not mine. Forthcoming, forthwith, will be the fourth (divided by two) TD goonrush details. Here's a hint: $20 for acceptance, and it's delivered in a format you may not expect.

I also support budgie even though I didn't actually read what he wrote, but I trust him to not be a retard like the rest of you. I also support shunning you from thunderdome for X period of time if you don't follow through on whatever system is elected. The Fiction Farm was expanded to allow for TD stories to be posted there. So don't bitch about crits ever again.

Lit Mag Goonrush Submit your literary feces to the following place: http://boundoff.com/submit/ It's cool because it's a "mag" that reads your story aloud and only buys the rights for that recording, leaving the rest of your rights to you, so you don't lose poo poo for getting accepted and can publish it elsewhere. Read, understand, and follow the guidelines so you can maybe have your story read by a real human being and make a whole $20. I'd gladly pay that much to make sure you all never wrote again. Proof must be posted, as before, for consideration for winning. Shame falls on those too cowardly to do it. Those accepted should post proof to encourage the failures among us. Go show them how the loving TD rolls, fuckers.

Srsly, folks. Just go to the Fiction Farm (http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3527097) and start posting your stuff. Harass people into following suit to post and critique. That's the place for the after-party. Pretend any rules except the reciprocation rule do not apply and make that thread good. Don't even worry about word-count until it becomes an issue. The word-count rules were always counter-productive anyway. We made this thread kick rear end, so we can make the others kick rear end as well. Stop worrying and learn to love the bomb.
