 THUNDERDOME WEEK CCCXCIX (Trip C, Ex-Cee, Eye-Ex): (that's 399, I finally figured this out) Tell 'Em That It's *dusts off the throne, leans back, crosses ankles* Hey, TD. I haven't properly left the house since the 5th of this month and my favorite mess-around store is closed. I could be angry. And by the gods, I am! But I'm also sitting on this lovely throne, and I think we should all go to a place where things are a little more two dimensional and often drawn with flash animation nowadays. This week, you're writing toons. I'm going to assign you an iconic non-human character from movies, cartoons, videos games, anime that I've watched, etc. Looney, Disney, Cartoon Network, 90s, or otherwise. And you're going to write a story about them, but they're human. That's it. Write me some stories about humans who are based on toons. Oh wait. I remember "be happy and write with few words" week and y'all can't be trusted with open-ended prompts. So let's have some base rules. * When I say "write me some human fic starring toons" this means you'll reference the personality traits and/or quirks the OG Toon has. Every other character in the story can be based out of your head. Only the MC has to be the toon base. Toons are the center of their worlds. So no making your toon-character a one off side character. They're under the spotlight. * No, you don't get to pick your character. I'm at home any drat ways, I have time to assign all kinds of things. You'd probably pick some anime I haven't watched. * These are stories, not fic. No high school/coffeeshop AUs. (If you read that and went "what the hell is that?" you're already on a great path to greatness.) No waking up to be suddenly human. No references to the world the toon came from as being real. No looking at a TV and wondering why they're bucktoothed and like carrots like the dude on the TV. Your MC's always been human. They don't know they're based on a toon. They're just living their life where they happen to be a lot like some character they don't know they're like. I'll yeet you out of a window and then drop a 10 ton weight on your head and you'll walk away making accordion noises. * No, you can't use the toon's original name. You're writing stories, not fic. * If I can't tell you used the character in the story you will DM. I know way too much about who I'm assigning you, bitch. * This is very important: Since cartoons never die, be maimed, or kill--they just cause mischief and trouble--no one can die in your stories. At all. And no one can kill. (Don't you play your Roger Rabbit games with me.) You can't even have death in the story. You write a character in, they live to the end of that story. Choose wisely who shows up. *~*~* 1500 words. Wow, you're getting a nice little chunky monkey. Flash, and I'll give you a second character (who will not be of the same universe as your first) that you must include for 500 more words. Usual TD rules apply: no porn/fan fic/Gdocs. Especially no fanfic. Don't loving write fan fic you little shits. Edited to add: the winner of this week will be the judge of Week 401. Week 400 is special and not to be handled by your common judge who just wrote a decent thing.

Week 399: Mercedes, Carl Killer Miller, Azza Bamboo, Anomalous Amalgam. You didn't get entries in, and that's okay. Don't feel bad at all. Times are hard, take so much care of y'all selves. If the four of you ever can send in redemption, no matter when, I promise to crit it/rank it against the week within a week once you contact me and let me know. To the Rulings: HMs: Staggy: you made me giggle and I love camp. Slipup: So the essence of the characters and the poo poo they'd do to each other. Snappy and good. Tyrannosaurus: Swirling the natures of both tricksters together well. DMs: HFCS - Mafia stuff with too much minutae and glaring proofreading errors. selaphiel: I don't know where you were going with this tiger thing but that's not close to the character. Something Else: a grimdark take on pretty much anything in the world is not Neth's thing in the slightest, I'm so not amused. Loss: Doctor Eckhart, with an airport story that was dry as a bone and with no joy or true characterization. Enjoy your new avatar, I hope you think it's pretty. Win: Chili with a story about friendship, caring, and highs and lows and heart. I have more things to say, good and bad, but they can come out in my crits. Right now I need to go catch butterflies and pay that racoon his bells. Congrats, dude, the throne i-- waitaminute, we're getting a last minute announcement from sitting here over the speakers NO PROMPTING. WEEK 400 IS NOT YOURS. --got it. Just chill. Maybe take this week to wipe it down. Start with 401. See y'all on the other side of the river. Nethilia fucked around with this message at 04:57 on Apr 1, 2020 |

Week 402: Don't Shoot Me, I'm Only the Piano Player  You know, it was a tossup the other week between prompts, but since apparently y'all want to let me do this again. here we go. One of my favorite artists has and will be Sir Elton Hercules John, born Reginald Kenneth Dwight. And that man has a discography spanning back over fifty goddamn years, starting in 1969 (nice). I can literally sit and listen to nothing else while I'm doing my works, and sometimes I have. Which gives me a lot of songs to use for a prompt, even beyond the most well known ones. This week, you will either pick or be assigned a song by Elton John, your choice. From that song, you will write me a story that invokes the feelings, mood, lyrics, or any other part of the song. Basically that song better make me feel like you listened to the song. Some songs will automatically come with flash rules the moment you pick them or are assigned them. Which ones? You'll know when it happens! And, because every single one of my prompts come with something else (because I'm like that) your story must also include references to one of the following: Earth, Space, or Sea. Does this mean the story takes place there? gently caress if I know, just do it, you're writing the story. You have 1107 words to write with (11:07 being the length of one of the longer songs) and, if you want a random flash rule from my pocket of flash, you can have 193 more words for an even 1300. (Does this mean you can get two flash rules on you? You sure can! It's an exciting time to be alive and in TD.) Standard TD rules apply: no porn, no fanfic, no google docs.
