it doesn't matter how hard you work or how much you care, it's entirely possible that your work is tacky, hollow, shrill, unheard

What Music He Makes (500 words) Credit goes to Cezar and Romania for "It's My Life." It was noon in Australia, and Falsetto Dubstep Dracula was safe in the caverns of Coober Pedy, where tailors were replacing the diamonds of his glorious robe with opals for his performance that night at the Sydney Opera House. "I wish you could do something for my dancers," he rumbled. His voice in that moment was a rich baritone. "The bodysuits, if they were set with garnets--" "You want Queensland for that, mate," said a tailor. But dusk fell as the task was finished, so Falsetto Dubstep Dracula had no time for Queensland. He rose from the underground town and flew through the darkening sky toward the adulation that awaited him. His skirts trailed through the outback's dust, yet dirt could neither mar their splendor nor lessen his. The ground below was flat, featureless, and nearly the same color as the billowing cloth he used in his concerts for a pool of blood. No one writhed under that surface, in bodysuits or otherwise. Scarce animals bounded and slithered over it instead. They became less scarce as Falsetto Dubstep Dracula floated over the land. Drawn to his charisma, the kangaroos and wallabies, the dingos, the platypi, the echidnas, and eighty million varieties of incredibly deadly snake gathered around him, their eyes reflecting the glow that shone from his opals and his pecs. Falsetto Dubstep Dracula saw the heat-seared vista for what it was: a stage. "Love is so bright," he began. "Like a diamond in the light...." His deep voice caressed the land, pulling wombats from their burrows and koalas from their trees many, many miles away. Even the kookaburras shut up for a second to listen. The creatures lay still, waiting; they knew not for what. "Love is so deep, and it makes my life complete. Like a mountain in the sky--" Lightning cracked as the heavens themselves felt the tension. "Love is high, so hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh!" Meteors fell! The stars blazed bright! Roos leapt in nature's choreographed dance as baritone spiraled into countertenor, and the warble called each living thing to rejoice! Falsetto Dubstep Dracula sang, and most of the world's marsupials responded with gyrations that shamed mere mortal man. Native bats spiraled around him. They recognized their king. WUB! WUB! WUB! Far didgeridoos paid him homage. Higher and higher, Falsetto Dubstep Dracula's voice rose. Higher and higher, his body ascended. He became a mountain on that barren plain, towering in glory. The fires that burst from the ground as he threw out his arms hurt no animal, such was his power, and even when the emus threw themselves into the flames in rapture, they emerged again alive and covered in sparks of light. It could not last forever. Nothing so beautiful ever does. In the end, the final note spread across Australia like a blanket of divine, flamboyant grace, and all who heard it carried it in their hearts until and beyond death. Falsetto Dubstep Dracula drifted on, satisfied with his warm-up performance.

 Week 242 Results All stories were read in Judgemode, and I actually did a pretty good job not remembering who the heck got what genre. Dishonorable Mentions:
Honorable Mentions:
Loss - Did he who Made the Lamb Make Thee? by Chairchucker - I feel like this could have been a fun fable, but had too little effort put into it. It had poor voice and was also a bit nonsensical. Ultimately, the lack of effort is what put it as the loss. And the winner is... Win - Violet Fire by Kaishai - There was beautiful imagery, with a meaningful story about finding one's self and solid characters. I also felt it did a good job capturing the feel of its music, which I felt very few pieces did this week. The middle was mostly a mush of stuff. I'll be critting all stories, including the above, in more depth in a separate post.

Thunderdome Week CCXLIII: We Are the Heroes of Our Time Judges: Kaishai and Bad Seafood. I've won at a special time of year, which can mean only one thing: Thunderdome returns to the Eurovision Song Contest this week for another dose of spectacle, sensation, and sexophone! I'm not kidding about that last one. Sunstroke Project is returning to represent Moldova. What a time this is to be alive. Your task is to select a video from the roster linked above--or you may prefer to rummage through the 2017 playlist. Either way, pick a song no one else has taken, announce your choice when you sign up, then write a story that relates to it in some way. The tune, the lyrics, the costumes, and everything else about the performance are all potential fodder for your imagination. Now, perhaps you're saying to yourself, "None of this year's ballads excite me. Can I ask the judges to assign me something?" Of course you can! As long as you aren't afraid of the Turkish Manboat, this is a perfectly valid strategy. Note: Moldova is an exception to the first-come-first-serve rule. As many of you can try to outperform SkaAndScreenplays on the epic sax as so desire.There's one further twist. Your entries must address a theme: Family is more than blood. No fanfiction, no nonfiction, no erotica, no poetry, no GoogleDocs, and no booing the Russians. Sign-up deadline: Friday, March 31, 11:59pm USA CENTRAL Submission deadline: Sunday, April 2, 11:59pm USA CENTRAL Maximum word count: 1,200  Participating Countries: Ironic Twist (France): "Fell" SurreptitiousMuffin (West Germany 1979): "wherever the river ran" sparksbloom (Belarus 2016) flerp (Germany 2016) Chili (Montenegro): "Rocket to the Stars" Thranguy (United Kingdom 2007): "There Are Stories of the Dutchman" BeefSupreme (Turkey 2012): "Love Me Back" Sailor Viy (Armenia 2009): "Deucalion's Brood" Uranium Phoenix (Belgium): "The Roar of Wind and War" SkaAndScreenplays (Moldova 2011; Flash rule: One of your characters must be illiterate.) Okua (Austria 2007): "A Ripple In The Water" SkaAndScreenplays (again) (Moldova) Chairchucker (Switzerland 2007): "The Undeath of the Party" The Cut of Your Jib (Iceland): "In a Young Girl's Heart" crabrock (Latvia 2008) Djeser (Poland 2014): "Z jeziora" The Saddest Rhino (Denmark 2007): "Five Facts on the Death of Signora Reina Del Teatrale" Ceighk (Latvia 2014): "Midsummer's Eve" sebmojo (Russia 2012) Mrenda (Ireland): "All I Want At My Age Is A Place To Sit" (Submitted past the deadline) Kaishai fucked around with this message at 23:55 on Apr 3, 2017 |
