This is a pretty boring story that reads more like a teenager's fantasy than an attempt at an adult story. Some girl is sad, she meets her friend, he keeps badgering her and in order to shut him up she fucks him. then she disappears and nobody has grown or changed and nothing has been resolved other than a weird creep took advantage of somebody who needed a friend in order to get himself some of that sweet poon that he was entitled to after he had the courage to let her stick up for him in class.

thank you for only making that 700 words

Nah fam. I gotchu.

ahahaha you big dumb loving baby. You wrote a terrible goddamn story. This had nothing to do with how much I think you’re an idiot. Or how I believe you are wasting your time and the time of everyone who reads your bullshit because in 31 submissions and 42,243 words written you haven’t improved at all and you never will because you are completely incapable of processing criticism without mentally shutting down because one time half a decade ago an adjunct professor at a community college told you that you had a lot of potential because you loving paid to take the class and saying someone has “potential” is the most pitifully simple thing to say in lieu of an actual, legitimate critique and is usually done when someone is so objectively horrible there is nothing left to say.

I read your story blind, Benny. I could not see whose name was attached to what story. You received a dishonorable mention because what you wrote was bad.

WHO CARES? Are you also one of those MRA fuckwits that bitches about how girls ignore your fedora-tipping “M’lady" niceness and only go for assholes? Why don’t girls like me I’m such a nice guy? Being a nice guy doesn’t mean a girl is obligated to touch your dick, Benny. If you’re wondering why I’m bringing this up its because your story was an MRA wet dream where a guy gets to gently caress someone because they were friends for a while and he always wanted to and she’s crying and jesus I don’t loving know goddamn this was offensively bad.

Benny. You don’t deserve anything here. Who cares that you poured your heart and soul into this? That doesn’t mean anything. It doesn’t matter how hard you worked. It never does. In anything. The only thing that matters is the final product and your final product was a big, stinky turd. If you waddled out of your bedroom, plopped down on the toilet, grabbed your ankles, took a massive dump, and wiped your rear end really, really, really hard but still failed to completely clean yourself off… Do you think your mom shouldn’t be mad when she pulls your streaky, poo poo stained underwear out of the laundry basket? Do you think it is then appropriate to go crying to dad saying Mom is a big ol’ meany who doesn’t understand how hard you tried? The answer, you idiot, is no. And if you’re confused by the metaphor because you are a moron I’ll go ahead and explain that you represent you, I represent your mother, humbolt squid is your dad, and your disgusting partially brown whitey-tighties is the story entitled “The Willow and the Ribbon” which you submitted for Week 147 The Tragedy of Shakespeare Descending in the 2015 Thunderdome thread on the Something Awful forums.

Now, with all that being said-- the most absolute amazing thing to me, what is truly incredible, what is the most fascinating cherry on top of this obnoxious, unwelcomed sundae is the fact you still failed to follow the prompt. Oh my god! The irony! The sweet, delicious irony! In spite of all your protesting my judgement you completely ignored the fact that you also were disqualified because you failed to follow the prompt. All that bitching about rules. Oh my my my.

I am so incredibly tempted to also put you on ignore. Much more intelligent and sensible people than I have already done so. But I won’t. If. IF you will answer the following question:

Benny the Snake-- knowing that your prompt was to write a story which could be summarized by ”A romp in the forest where everyone falls in love,” did you think that your submission (where a boy fucks a girl who is upset and crying and then leaves him without explaining why) honestly fulfilled your prompt or did you purposely submit a story which you already knew did not adhere to rules of the week’s challenge?

If you do not answer, you will be ignored. If you are too cowardly to respond in thread, you may PM me and I will continue to read and critique your stories same as I do for everyone else. I honestly do not expect an answer but I would love to receive one.

Ok so here's the score, both of you have 6 stories that haven't been DQed for some reason. Both of you have 1 brawl loss. One of you has 2 DMs, and the other has nothing. Slight advantage to BlueWher, but easily anybody's brawl here, so don't save this til the last minute, and ACTUALLY WRITE YOUR rear end OFF.

Prompt: too little, too late.

that's it. do with that what you will, but god dammit if I can't see that in your story I'll be loving angry.

words: 800

I should write a story about you being angrier and angrier at people writing bad stories and getting off for it until everything blows up around you and the end of my story is just an mp3 of a Morgan freeman impression lamenting the loss of earth to crabrock.

Potential
1081 words + 83 vocal + 300 penalty for vocal = 1464 words

"My mother told me as a child to stop making faces; this idea that a simple action overdone may have irreversible consequences."

"Pardon, Sir?"

"It's a metaphor Benjamin, about your unwillingness to learn. You refute any and all criticism, deflecting it with allusions to a single past event."

This is a conversation we've had before, him and I. I judged him in his attempt to enter to this career, a nepotism entry of the finest, allowing him in on the smallest of margins.
Told him at his ceremony, rather offhandedly, that he 'had potential'. Everybody has potential, it's a meaningless concept to state like that.
I, to this day, wish I had gone with my own judgement and denied him instead. The superiors, however, have advanced him along the ranks, covering his rear end with too many ended careers to count.

I woke with a start. My headboard was shaking again. "Just a test Rock, go back to..."
I paused, there were no tests scheduled. We were in the middle of diplomatic problems.
Launching any now would easily end the talks and send us to war, test or no.

I stormed into the control room for our silo, "Whose authorization was that launch under!?"

"General Sneke's sir."

"Not this again", I thought. 'General' Sneke was my old hire made a manifest nightmare. Now equal in rank to me, he often played politics with our jobs.
He had never gone and done something so foolhardy, however.

"Why are we doing tests now!?", nobody here could answer, simply following their orders, "We're in the middle of talks over these things, we can't be jeopardizing"

I noticed that the displays were showing targets all over the world, a far cry from our usual tests. These were akin to an Armageddon launch.

"I'm the commander of this silo, I'll make the decisions I will General Rock."

I spun to see him, now sporting a third star. He had climbed in rank through his connections again, this time in mere weeks.

"We're going with the Commander's suggestions. They can have their diplomacy, we will show them why we don't need it. We'll show them we can bathe the world in the glow."

I just stared agape.

"Not actually doing it old man, simply showing the capability. Regardless, I'm sensing some hostility to this idea. Security, remove the general if you would."

I had no weapon, and no rank to push, so I went with the security. No sooner had we left the room, then it's large blast doors shut, locking us out.
The guard on my left radioed in, wanting to see why. He got only a reply of a short scream and a gunshot before being cut off.

The halls went red, the emergency lights had come on. There was another tremor, and then one more. The guards were now radioing and banging on the door about what was going on.
I took this opportunity to run off for the engineering hall, all I needed was a console, any one. Getting in was a mess, nearly being trampled by the people running out.
The tremors were now coming every 10 or so seconds. He had straight up explained his plan, locked me out and done them, what else could it be?
I worked on the console as fast as I could, desperately trying to open the blast doors, when I saw them open on a nearby video screen. I grabbed a pistol on the desk and headed back.

Running back, I came across an empty hallway. The guards were gone, and the room from what I could see from here was empty.
I ran in, I just had to get to the controls and stop further launches, maybe it hadn't gotten to.. *THUD*

I was stopped short by a rifle butt to my face.

Sneke was there, he had just been hiding.

"What are you doing!?", I managed to sputter out through the blood from my mouth.

"Simply what I was hired to. You don't bring in anyone who gives an air of greatness, they monitor those. You just make up a rich young.."

I took this opportunity to draw my weapon.

"Ohhh, hoho, got yourself a piece in that short time huh."

"Whatever I need to do to"

"Stop this? Old man, I opened those doors. I'm not about to let you in if you can stop poo poo gently caress all. The last one launched as I hit you."

I held the pistol at him as I realized what this meant.

"Every one of those warheads has already done it's job, those new ones reach their targets in seconds, even across the globe. Now come on,
I hate you, for sure, but the higher ups want you alive for some reason. I'm supposed to take you to the bunker before we leave this
burning husk to rot while we wait it out."

I couldn't move, I couldn't think even. The world was easily under huge clouds of ash and smoke, most people easily dead, especially if this was a coordinated effort.
This silo had over 3000 ready missiles at all times, just on it's own.

"Alright Rock, you're senile mind's had enough time to process. Newsflash, you can't stop them. Now come on.

"No, you're right", I spat out some blood from my wound, "Even I can't stop those after they leave the silo hole."

"Good to hear you've admitted it, now get your rear end in the bunker and we'll see what we do wi.."

Cutting him off, "But I can launch more."

He stared for a bit, wondering if I'd gone mad, finally sputtering out through laughter, "Oh, crabby old man Rock wants to blow the civvies up even harder?
Hah! Okay, do it. There isn't going to be poo poo left either way."

Finally reaching the console I'd been gunning for this whole time, I entered my code, the details and authorized the launch.
The destination came up on screen; it only took him the seconds till the launch was under way to notice the target.

"Woah old timer, all at the same spot. Who pissed you o...", trailing as he recognized the spot. The bunker was strong, but 100 warheads were, how you say, very convincing.
"Wait, no. No. You loving INSANE BASTARD.", he yelled, bringing his weapon back up.

"I can't stop the end. I can just make it equal."

I saw him pull the trigger as the flames engulfed us both...

Sorry to bother the thread again, but how do I get another avatar? My last one was not very pleasant and I feel like it misrepresented my views about child rearing, but it at least made it easy to find my posts in threads. I like to be able to scroll through a thread quickly and find my last post so that I can continue reading the rest of the thread from that point. Without an avatar, it is very hard to find my last post because I have to read all the names. I have looked in my settings but I do not see anything. At the top of the page there is a link to pay for premium avatars, but I just want a basic one with an icon. Thank you.

Later archeologists were underwhelmed by the miniscule scale of the ur-dick. That the primordial dick was measured in millimeters made rational sense, but was emotionally unrewarding for those who had expected something at least on the scale of the Venus figures.

The figure was also revealed to be giving off milliHitler radiation when the main examiner called his partner an out of nowhere series of racial slurs and was promptly decked out cold. The statue has been put under quarantine while protective suits are flown in.

Think about it. Those things originate in Japan. Granted, the guy before me got Busan, and that is a tasty place to start, but as the kaiju crawls its way across the Pacific, Perth, the single most isolated city on the planet, is the only conceivable pit stop to get its godzilla on en route to Sydney and Los Angeles.

Chowing down on these golden people from the land down under is the only conceivable fuel for the kaiju to storm its way across the outback, stomping on venemous creatures in anticipation of the myriad tasties on the Gold Coast.
