Ceramic DM -- Fall '06 ** yangnome wins! **

thank you for the comments and judgements

Good Day to one and all,

thank you for the kind judgements.
Funny how everyone reads something and it is totally different than what was going on in my head.

Not real specifics here, unless I think of them.
Poetry DM, I am better there i think. My lack of strong sense of time and tense does not hinder me so much

Pics
Gahh had no clue what to do with the last wheelchair pic. I mean I wanted to keep the story to 1 or 2 characters (per other advice I have been given which makes sense) but there are clearly 3 people. I didnt have the time nor energy to develop the 3 of them into the story, it being then a post singularity piece and that is the 3 characters all descendents of Cat a Strophe in some literal or figurative sense as they climb the strings of all reality to look down on past / present / future all at once. I obviously did not make it there.

Vic is a re-used version of a NPC Character Hurricane V (V cause that is what my wife called me, hurricance cause it is always a storm around me) who as a NPC in various genres is mostly a hunter of monsters. Cat is the lead singer of a band I made for Shadowrun and also CP2020. So his name is Vic. Simple there.
As an NPC a lot of his motivation is the death of his wife at the hands of "monsters" (pertinent to the genre), but that element does not fit since Cat is from a time later than his. So there I am trying to merge these elements and so I tried to stay timeless but that ends up confused tense and costs me points :).
That gave me people to work with with already made motives and actions that influenced the story and perhaps not for the best vice brand new characters instead of alterations of what i have had before.

I would do a lot better with fewer pics actually, because then there is more leeway for me, to do the writing.

To be honest as I was working on the piece I knew it was going to fall short, too much ground too hard to cover what came into my mind so I totally agree with the judgement and want to publicly thank all who read it and commented on it.

A last huge element to the story is / was the CD I had recently gotten and was listening to more than once a day. Group called Ludo their Broken Bride CD which had potentially too much influence on the life and death of the characters in the story as well as what in the back of my mind was going on.

Thanks to the judges.

As for round 2, I'd prefer a Friday start as I work Thursday, Friday and Saturday. A Friday start would give me at least one day off to work on the story. That said, whatever we do, I'll procrastinate and write it at the last minute, using only an hour or two of time anyway--Thursday would be fine too. So preference is Friday, Thursday is ok.

Congrats to Paka. Sorry, but my story was going to be a two-parter, since I was hoping to advance. I see that I should have done one complete story at a time now.

Anyway, did anyone figure out who Robert, Sheila, and Coach Hank were and why they feel responsible for the world being as it was?

Thanks.

Thanks to the judges for taking the time to read these stories.

So, the pictures are unveiled on Friday, we'd have to give the story on Monday or Tuesday?

I'd rather more time, as I have Monday and Tuesday off from work.

Round 2 masochists, I mean, Round 2 contestants -- Do you want to start Thursday or Friday?
Either works for me.

And thanks to all the judges for their comments. They helped, and the next one will be better (I hope). Of course, it has to be. I'm looking forward, with both anticipation and trepidation, to the next round.

Friday noon start would give you till Monday noon. We can be flexible with these later rounds -- if you and your opponent can come up with a mutually agreeable start time (within reason -- I can't promise to get up at 4am to post pictures :) ) it's cool with me. That goes for all the contestants.

In your case, that ratio should be about .5% anticipation, 49.5% trepidation and 50% desperation. I look forward to redecorating the forum with your blood and entrails.

Um, did you *see* what happened to the beholder in the last round? :eek: Maybe I should have matched you with NiTessine! :]

Do we / should we know the matchups for Round 2 already?
