mythago vs. piratecat, the final!
maldur-
Gods this is hard!
Cyberpunk in the style of ZEN, or modern day magic.
Hacker or Wizard.
Showdown in Africa or an erzats-Africa in a skyscraper
A tragic, open end or a tragic, open end
A Great story, or a GREAT story
In the end my vote goes to mythago
speaker-
Piratecat: The loss of a loved one, the entrance of a man into a world he
could never have known existed - chilling. Your protagonist makes for a
well-rounded character, with his compulsive thievery and his reactions to
that which he encounters. Your conclusion is well crafted, and your use of
dialogue throughout the tale well crafted.
Mythago: When I finished this short story, I kept dreaming, of the world
you developed and the people you populated it with. While I have a
love-hate relationship with the first person perspective you used, in this
case it just felt right. I saw what your character saw, I knew him, or
thought I did. As the tale twisted through to its beautifully tangled
conclusion, I was thoroughly immersed. This is what the Ceramic DM is all
about.
For this, the final round of Ceramic DM, I vote for Mythago.
alsih2o-
piratecat: i was bowled over by your use of the bride pic. the bug demon was a cool idea, and the little girl and the hawk was as funny as all get out. twisted and entertaining. your characters always resonate for me, these are no exception.
mythago: performance art, wacky nutjobs, both stories had a flower girl, whoda thunk? the ai and the actress, good stuff.
p-kitty had some wicked picture use and wrote well, but i have to go with mythago so people will remmeber i was there at the beginning when the movie comes out.
MYTHAGO is the new ceramic dm by unanimous vote!

maldur- For the future, I am hoping for more Ceramic DM's that are this hard to
