I'm still doing crits for Fairytale week. Crits for Noirweek will be much later as I'm going to deal with celebrating Chinese New Year next week.

Also :siren: flash rule :siren: I know there are webcomics out there (off the top of my head Pandyland and Kate Beaton) making fun of noir, so your flash rule (applicable to EVERYONE) is

DO NOT RIP OFF THE JOKES/PUNCHLINE/PLOT OF THESE WEBCOMICS

:siren: I HAVE GOT CRITS IN AND IT IS TIME TO BE VERY DISAPPOINTED IN YOURSELF :siren:

This is for Fairytale Week. Muffin and I met up last Monday for drinks, I don't know about you but I wasn't prepared for a white dude to get tipsy on just two beers (tbf it was craft beer and the alcoholic content was as high as wine but still), so he got a little weird and starting drawing things all around instead of critting at one point.

I am a lazy shithead who needs to work and therefore took longer in critting you lot's writings. In the meantime people made :lol: JOKES :lol: which is why you get this nice sampler:



THIS IS THE ALBUM YOU WANT TO CLICK TO SEE YOUR CRITS:

http://imgur.com/a/BZMEZ

OH and here are some special images for the night itself:

Muffin upon reading and discovering Mercedes's story is ripping off a webcomic:


He shaved to the paedophile mustache just for you Mercedes

This is Mercedes's response to said response:


Also at one point in the crit you'll notice me saying "well Muffin got tired and started skipping stuff" this is what he looks like when that happened:



Note: Muffin's pen is the lighter and more readable words/pictures. I'm the one using the thicker black ink / blue ink / red ink pens.

Benny the Snake posted:

You're really gonna do me like that, aren't you?

Fine. Let's get it all out. It was me. I was the one who got a mod involved. And you wanna know why? It's because three judges are required per prompt. Every one of us who signed up went in blind but I was the only one who asked why there wasn't two other judges I'd be lying if I said this wasn't personal, but you know what T-Rex, how would I know if your decision to make me a dishonorable mention wasn't personal? How do I know that there isn't still any antagonism on your end towards me? Even after that brawl we settled? I don't but what I do know is that I poured a lot of heart and soul into a story which was incredibly unpleasant to write and did not need to be posted. But it did not deserve the DM. That's why I'm crying foul. Because this week should be null and void. Because you broke the rules. And all I have to go on is how you have an extra-special crit ready for me:


You know what, T-Rex? Keep it to yourself. You are no more qualified to judge anybody than I am.

Newtesleper, you think you can say "I know who did it" and then scurry off where I can't go? You are a two-faced snake.

To everyone else: call me a rat, call me a snitch, call me every last nasty name in the book. I don't care. Don't for a minute think that you, or anybody else, can break the rules. Because it's not about the rules, it's about us. It's about how we're supposed to be a community of writers and a competition but if one person breaks the rules, that completely destroys any confidence in what we have. I love the Thunderdome and I won't stand for this. I won't stand by and have our community turn into a prison gang.

Either of you have a problem with me? Anybody have a problem with me? Good. You know where to find me, I'm going nowhere.


Hail, all ye writers, all ye readers, for a reminderI bring upon thee, that once in the year 2014, this Benny the Snake, venerable police-seer of rules of of Great Thunderdome, May the Blood Gods Forever Hold its Name True, broke the rules in such a spectacularly dumb fashion that everyone clamoured and tantrumed for his banishment, but I alone said nay, for he shall be absolved for his crimes through sound and just punishment, and for my efforts spat he in my face after one year, whence he believed memories are as fragile as his wit:

You've been added to the list, but I'd like to draw your attention to this part of the prompt:

Realistically, this is a difficult rule to enforce, and I'm counting somewhat on an honor system, but if I do find out you've asked for help it's an instant DQ for you.

Keep it in mind, hmm?

Ah, that would explain why you've been asking Fanky and Sebmojo to help you edit your piece, then.

We talk, dude. You are the worst cheater. As in, you are terrible at it.

Whatever you submit had better be an entirely new story from the one you've been passing around this week.

Quote I, for I was of Mercy, though Perhaps Ill-Placed, and Woe Shalt it be to me for I have placed them on the wrong soul posted:

IN LIGHT of this incredible development, it has been convened, and it has been agreed, that for you, Benny the Snake - in order for your story to escape both disqualification and/or humiliation, the following FLASH RULES shall be applicable to you:

1. YOU MUST WRITE A NEW STORY other than the one attempted to be shown to, or has been shown to, Sebmojo and Fanky Malloons. We are fully aware we cannot control this, so let your own conscience be your guide.

2. YOUR STORY MUST PROMOTE THE FOLLOWING MATTERS AS GREAT VIRTUES:

(a) reading and listening to instructions carefully
(b) not being a liar.


We look forward to reading your story!

Yet, with such rule-breakage our community, said Grand Thunderdome, Praise the Gods for Its Perseverance, continued to grow and stay strong, despite you, ye Snake, ye of Hisses and Hydras, ye who continues to befell yourself upon us despite us who looks at you with eyes of disdain and whispers of jeerings, prostrate yourself now and allow the Gods to judge upon thee, for we shan't. Let the shame wash upon your soul.
