    Ceramic DM Winter 07 (Final Judgment Posted)

    Just a short commentary on the entries. mythago: I love trickster stories, in part because I think they're hell to write. Your story has a nice foundation, but it could have used some finish in order to make it flow better, to tie the pictures stronger into the narrative (the last one, for...

    20 hours to go for the judges to clean their desks :D Actually, I'm really looking forward to the next stories – I've been checking in several times tonight because I had messed up the deadline by 12 hours.

    Gulla: Berandor It seems I should have trusted my feelings. As I said above, I wanted more, but was afraid it'd be too much. Damn rationality! :) You know, now that you mention it that would have been a great idea. I was a little worried because my first idea was to bookend the story with...

    More details for my esteemed opponent: Really an excellent story. I find it risky to write in present tense, and it works only in shorter stories such as these. Here, it mostly plays a part in the opening paragraph, drawing us right in, and in the end, when it really seems like present tense...

    Thanks. Funny, I wanted to see more of Adam's rampage, too, but I was afraid to bore the judges. I wanted to cut to the chase. And Piratecat messed up a link to a picture – that'll be my in :)

    Uhm, not that I might be afraid or something, but could you guys spoiler the adoration? Wouldn't want to influence the judges, right? I don't know that it will make a difference, but just on principle.

    Spoiler for anybody except the judges :D Damn. Congratulations, I guess. What a great, great idea. What a brilliant story. That's all I can say right now. Damn. At least I tried. Oh, and Herreman: Very funny. Not. :)

    Ceramic DM, Round Two: Piratecat vs. Berandor Dancing in the Streets Part one: Dan Smith The door to the delivery room flew open. A nurse hastened out, pressing a hand to her mouth. Dan stopped wringing his hands and got up. »Miss? Is everything alright?« The nurse barely spared him a look...

    First draft done. Only 4,000 words, so all turned out right. Now to see whether it makes any sort of sense, at all. I foresee posting my story within the next 2 hours. And then I'll read the frigging spoiler. Edit: I just took a look at the other pictures. Wow, yangnome, you are *mean*! Remind...

    Looking for Music Video: Have you seen this one?

    John Carter of Mars becomes animated by Pixar

    I refer you to Norbit and various other examples proving the opposite. The problem with bad animation is, it's still expensive animation. You can do a cheap, bad movie and still make dough. For a CGI movie, you need to have top-notch animation or most people will not even go there for cheap...

    Okay, so I don't feel like Sialia. That's one hell of a problem to have, though :)

    "Fellowship of the Dice" is coming...

    Heh. I watched the trailer, and now I have no idea what this thing is about. About playing D&D? About investigating D&D? I'm C&C – confused and curious. I'll check it out if I get the chance.

    Ceramic DM Winter 07 (Final Judgment Posted)

    I'm looking forward to see what you came up with. I like my plot, too, but writing is hard this time. I struggle through the paragraphs, revise them, delete them, write them anew... and I fear it might be a long story when it's done. If it ever gets done. I feel like Sialia, only without the...

    New A Song of Ice and Fire Update: still not done

    For now, I'm expecting AFFC-quality from A Dance with Dragons, meaning it'll be alright, but not great. I agree with Rodrigo that a tighter edit would have benefitted AFFC, and now that I read it I'm not even sure whether it was really a necessary book. But I'm counting on the books after ADWD...

    Can we open the spoiler later? Or never? :)

    Huh. Saw the pictures, had an idea. They seem to be okay. See you in 72 hours at the latest. I'm really looking forward to where PC will include the ukulele...

    Actually, late friday evening would be perfect timing (as PC said, I'll see them as I get up or after breakfast).

    Ceramic DM Winter 07 (Final Judgment Posted)

    I don't much care as long as it's after today. Really, take your pick, at least then you cannot blame timing. I guess I'll have to look for an avatar for round three, already. Did I say that out loud?

    Aaron Litz's (maybe not so cruddy after all!) art for his new character

    Didn't you read the second post? He's got a Coat of Arms (it's in DMG II, most likely).
