Djeser posted:

While you're looking up your favorite prompt, I've cooked up a little survey because I'm interested in what makes a prompt tick.

THUNDERDOME SURVEYDOME: MAY THE BEST THUNDERDOME WIN

Link to the survey here, dumbs!

Open to anyone who's read most of the stories for one or more weeks. If you've judged, even once, that means you! Or if you're like Jitzu and subject yourself to all the stories just for kicks, that too. All you have to do is write down which weeks you thought were good (or, at least, notably above-average) and which were poo poo (or, at least, notably below-average.) It's a highly unscientific survey, so don't get too worried about it. You can put in week numbers or what the prompt was or whatever. It's a chill survey so

To clarify, this is about which prompts produced submissions of higher or lower quality.

Once we get enough entries here, we can make STATISTICAL MAGIC HAPPEN but only if you judges step up and tell us what weeks were good and which weeks were bad.

SO FILL OUT THUNDERDOMESURVEYDOME NOW!

Reminder that if you do this you are a cool dude. To the eight people who've already given me VALUABLE AND SCIENTIFIC DATA, you're cool dudes. Expect INTERESTING RESULTS and FASCINATING CONCLUSIONS in the next few days.

Mercedes: Mar 7, 2006; "So you Jesus?"

"And you black?"

"Nigga prove it!"

And so Black Jesus turned water into a bucket of chicken. And He saw that it was good.

Thunderdome CXXIX: Those We Loved

Look. Thunderdome. Sit down for a minute. Take a breath. Chill out, man. We're all too tense up in here. You know what I did? I played a video game for the first time in two years. And it was fun. I liked it. I was like "why did we stay apart so long?" Maybe some other people are also about to experience a beautiful reunion with something/someone they loved.

Maybe their love was once manifest in space, where love usually happens.

This week you will write a story about somebody reconnecting with something or something they once loved, but had been separated from by for whatever reason. And also spaceships. Yes. Not just Sci-Fi, but SPACESHIPS. I really loving like spaceships, and am craving scifi spaceships.

I am very literal about prompts. I want a real life god drat spaceship, and a real life god drat reunion. Other than that, go hog wild.

No: Poetry. Reoccurring characters from past stories. Fanfic. Erotica. Excuses. Extended spaceship taking off/landing scenes.

Also Muffin if you're itching to fight I'll take your offer to brawl, but with myself having the disadvantage. I know I'm not Mojo but I can take a punch and I'm looking for something to get me serious about improvement. I know I'm not supposed to suggest brawls since I've never won or HMed but I've brawled twice before.

Maybe I'd take you seriously if you spelled pity right. I'm furious with myself that I lost to you, the safety cushion that everyone who submits has to eek by the loss. So gently caress off with telling me what to do.

your fighting flash rule is that two characters in your story must be female, and they must exchange words about something scientific in a professional manner.
