Friday morning works for me, too.

BSF - how about getting our pics sometime tonight or tomorrow night. That would put our deadline at eveningish on Saturday or Sunday, and would work well for me.

I'm free to start whenever, though I second BSF's desire for weekend time. Really, though, I'm good to go at any point. Besides, the blood level in my ink well is getting low. *pulls out quill*

Cool. I'm looking forward to seeing the results. :)

I would discourage switching from 1st to 3rd person in a piece of this length, since it would be fairly jarring. I think it could be effective in a longer piece, where one could switch back and forth between points of view. It could also work if Jeanelle's view of the world were especially...

Celian, God of the Heavens, from PC's campaign. The only reference I could find is that it was his power that was invoked when TomTom activates his Ring of Shooting Stars in the battle against the necropede and the undead sniper.

I inspire fear? Er, I mean... Ha ha! Tremble before the might of my glorious quill! Or something like that :)

Is the reference to spell "valences" another Sepulchrave reference, or is it more common than that?

Thanks for the kind words, Zhaneel. All of your comments are vey good - and seem to fit into what others have said as well. Based upon the feedback that I'm getting from both the judges and contestants and other readers, I think I'm going to revise the story and post it in the Kiln-fired thread...

Ruh roh.

Thanks Ao - it was a tough fight, and PC's a great writer, which makes the victory that much sweeter. Oh, no problem. Just amazed delight :)

Thanks, Berandor, and thanks again, Piratecat - you're a tremendous and gracious competitor, and victory is that much sweeter for having had you as an opponent.

Wow. Double wow. Thanks again for the kind words PC - you are a great and worthy competitor, and I'm sorry that I won't have the pleasure of seeing what you'd come up with in the future rounds. Judges - that was great and accurate critique - just what I need to improve the story. Thanks to...

Orchid Blossom - I just got through reading your entry, and thought it was great. The tension between magic and technology getting resolved through the combination of the two was refreshing. I also thought that the relationship between the narrator and the scientist was well developed. What...

Wow, thanks for the kind words, PC - considering the source, that's high praise indeed. I just finished reading yours, and I have to say that it's delightful. I love trickster devil tales, and this was a great one. I'm dying to see what the judges have to say now. Yes and no. I was searching...

Match 1-3: Carpedavid vs Piratecat Strange Little Loops Kat watched the smoke rise through the hazy air, curling and swirling in on itself to form strange little loops. Gordian knots tied and unraveled themselves within the span of a breath, as ripples of air passed by. She pursed her lips...

<smacktalk>With pen as my sword and paper as my shield, I hastily march to the field of literary battle. As I prepare for the exchange of words and wit, I feel naught but sorrow for my foe, for it is with his blood that I shall wet my quill. The storms of sound rain metaphor and symbolism across...

Oh bloody hell... Er, I mean... <smacktalk>Yer goin' down, kitty!</smacktalk>.

I'd be interested in giving Ceramic DM a shot.

As others have said, it depends on the campaign world. In my main homebrew setting, the gods are omnipotent, omnicient, and omnipresent - no mortal force can affect them, and they have no stats. In my secondary homebrew setting, which I'm running right now, the "gods" are more akin to powerful...
