Ceramic DM Winter 07 (Final Judgment Posted)

[KidCthulhu]

Ber, you've got round four wrong. It's BSF vs PirateCat. Mythago is good, but you really shouldn't make her go twice.

Round 1 Match 5

Round 1 Match 5 (Monday):
Tadk vs. Questing gm

Sialia's not writing, so I won't set an official word limit. The guideline is don't bore the judges and make us want to stop reading. Here are your pics. You have 72 hours from post time.

Thanks for compiling that Berandor. I was going to do the same thing after posting these next pictures.

*laugh* So was I! I won't worry about it right now though.

oh, and I can't wait for the judgement. I can't believe gabriel just goatse'd Ceramic DM.

At least he didn't link it.

Heh. Nice pictires. Good thing the 'grandma-friendly' rule is relaxed for Ceramic DM.

The links are wonky too, I think. I'm hesitant to edit your post -- can you check 'em?

Comments on writing:

[sblock]It's incredible how good it felt to write. This story was different than ones I've done in the past. Usually I spend the first day thinking, the second and third day writing, and edit before I post. This time the story idea came much more quickly than usual. I had to write most of it twice due to fundamental changes I made, but the basic idea - a story within a story, late at night in a shadowy bar - stayed the same. I've got the idea, that's the hard part, right?

Ha.

Actually writing the thing was very hard for me. Hard in a good way, but my mind kept skipping around; I'd write some, check EN World, post in a locked thread, play a game of solitaire, then write some more. I finally figured out that it was because I hadn't resolved the narrator's main religious dilemma. A little research and the final bits snapped into place. Of course, that was last night after the Super Bowl - but I spent four hours of solid writing that felt like 20 minutes. I think I do this for those few moments when the story comes into focus and everything clicks.

What they say about practice is true, though. I'm definitely rusty after not having done this for so long.

Wow, good grouping of imaginitive stories. I'm glad the CDM was started up. I'm beginning to feel inspired again.

yeah, the links were wonky for me too when I clicked on them, though when I went to the posts and tried to copy the links, it gave me the same ones. strange. Someone want to check teh ones i posted in the first post and see if they are correct for you?

 

[Berandor]

I changed mythago to Piratecat.

I'll check the links...

edit: what I did was to simply change the postcount in the links corresponding to the thread, not the larger overall postcount, as well. So the links always pointed to the first stories from which I copied the format. Duh.

edit 2: yangnome, the links in the beginning post are wonky, too. At least for me. Try these:

Round 1
Match 1: Aris Dragonborn vs. Miles Pilitus – pictures – judgement
Match 2: Graywolf-ELM vs. mythago – pictures – judgement
Match 3: Berandor vs. Gabriel – pictures – judgement
Match 4: BSF vs. Piratecat – pictures – judgement
