[QUOTE="alsih2o, post: 1190188, member: 4790"] sparky vs. piratecat maldur- Strangely enough both stories were spooky and featured more than natural puppets, and oth used the smokytrail on the helium picture as a spell-like effect. Great stuff. verdict: Allthough I laughed load on the last few lines of Sparky's story. My vote goes to Piratecat speaker- I'm sure I'm not alone when I say that this was a tough decision in many respects. Both of the authors displayed a strong response and association with the pictures, and constructed their tales closely and ably about them. Both have demonstrated apt use of the short story. Sparky: Good reference to Diwali. Feels very appropriate to me as a number of close friends are currently celebrating. I also like your sentence structure - short, sharp and to the point. A times a truly horrifying tale. Your story really maked me think. Piratecat: Detective stories have always been a favourite staple of mine. They are fun to write, and easy to read. The double cross at the end was very nicely handled. D20 modern touches, of magic and possession, are always a good bet. What a fix. My vote goes to Piratecat. alsih2o- i was so disappointed when i thought the first round may give us our best match-up, but i am pleasantly surprised at being wrong. sparky- i tend to key in on creative use of pictures, and man-o-man did you hit that nail. mixing in cultural attributes that were foreign to me, freezing hands, and paper cuts! what hero worries about paper cuts? an interesting one. and i haven't even touched on the self referencing "nut." brilliant and spooky and unpredictable and interesting. piratecat- gumshoe sorcerer. very good. some great lines here and a great feel for mixing 2 genres. one criticism i have stated in previous judgements, i don't like it when someone uses one of the pictures as a picture in their story. all around a great tale though. vote- both are great tales, with pic as pic reference for p-kkitty and the freaky nut reference at the end of sparky i have to choose sparky. DECISION- 2-1 for piratecat. see you in the finals kids! i will ask for mythago vs piratecat check-in in the morning, weigh ins have been cancelled, but we will stil be checking for foriegn objects.
