Yeah, high desert dwarf here. New Mexico raised, green chile addicted, and, sadly, never been to Cardiff...

Congratulations to Eeralai! Thanks for the insightful critique, and I'm looking forward to the stress-free job of spectator for the rest of this CDM.

A battle of giants... My comments on Piratecat and Orchid Blossom: WOW! (That might be enough right there, but I'll go on.) These are my two favorites so far, by a pretty wide margin (though admittedly I am way behind on reading and many competitors haven't been looked at yet); it is...

What part of the "dibs" concept are you not understanding? ;-) (That siad, I think it's a great idea, but not until AFTER the final round...)

Dibs! Okay, I get dibs on THAT plot idea (IF, of course, I make it to the second round...). Seriously, glad you are unhurt, Arwink!

Slimy things in a can... Congratulations Rodrigo! Both these were an interesting take on a REALLY interesting and disparate group of pictures. tadk, I liked the tie-in of the 'unobtrusive' (mostly) aliens. Rodrigo, your words really flowed well, and it was touching, in a disturbing kind of way...

Titles Schmitles Who needs titles. I changed mine three times, and am very unhappy with the one I ended up with, should have left it off. We live or die by the words on the page (or in the post), not by titles. As for that particular word, as the brilliant G. Carlin once said: "#### doesn't...

I have noticed that Enworld's formatting doesn't indent paragraphs, and that entries like Rodrigo's (with paragraph line breaks) are easier to read than mine. Sorry. I will not edit the post (as promised), but if I happen to defeat my honorable opponent Eeralai then I will use such breaks in...

Paid up? This is often ENWORLD's subtle way of saying "Hey, it's a great site, but it needs the occasional influx of cash." i.e., If you're not paid up on the (reasonable) annual dues, you can't receive or send private emails. If you ARE paid up, then you need to change your settings under...

Match 2: Thorod vs. Eeralai - Thorod's Entry To Weep In a Dark Time by Thorod Ashstaff I'd tell you my name, if only I could remember what it was. Call me Eve. No, strike that, that's not right. Jake—dear Jake—called me Eve on that first day. I'd been asleep for so long. How many days, how...

No way, tadk. I already made me a new desktop out of the nekkid lady with the sapphire eyes!

I have seen them, thanks. And now to bleed...um... I mean write.

I was composing just such, until I saw the pictures Rodrigo got for his match, and I feel that he is, perhaps, punished enough. I resent the unwashed comment, however; I scrubbed the mead foam residue out of my beard just last month.

Pictures? I don't see no stinkin' pictures! Am I missing something? I thought pictures were posted within the thread. -One confused dwarf

Good advice! Especially considering the site just did go down, for quite a while. Eagerly awaiting pictures (be kind, it's only the first round...)!
