[QUOTE="Iron Sky, post: 7833132, member: 60965"] Whew. You'd think after decade-ish of doing this I wouldn't get shaky reading judgments, but here we are. For my entry, I tried to differentiate the town's yearly ritual to keep the shadow rift sealed and the funeral rites that happened after the storm, but with the limited word count and stylistic reveals it necessitated it appears I wasn't able to make it as clear hoped. As for the coven, serenity was admittedly weak as I focused on them relaxing after "victory". I'll admit they weren't spreading peace and calm even if they felt it for a while but by the time I realized the degree of indirectness it was far too late to change things. I also tried to use hurricane recovery as a hook - the PCs being missing important people or things after the shipwreck that they need to recover, but wasn't able to flesh it out as much as I'd have liked. [USER=7016035]@Psykick[/USER] , I really loved the ouroboros-coatl belt unity from the story and was impressed at your ability to inject meaningful interpersonal drama into such a tight word count. I also loved every one of the "minor chaos" bullet point events and I'll steal those to stuff into my "GMGooder.txt" I've been compiling for years if it's okay with you. Thanks for the challenging competition Psykick and the judgement [USER=150]@Radiating Gnome[/USER] , looking forward to the next round (and more words to spend!) [/QUOTE]
