EN World Short Story Smackdown - FINAL: Berandor vs Piratecat - The Judgment Is In!

[Herremann the Wise]

Will have to be next week for me.

OK, Cool.

Match 12 Rodrigo Istalindir vs. Mythago shall commence with four images posted 9:00am Tuesday 27th May Sydney time (that should be Monday afternoon/evening your time, check your world clocks for precise details).

Will this be OK?

Best Regards

Wait, Thorod's from New Mexico too?

I think actually he's from Cardiff, if memory serves (something about he and I being on the same time zone). I could, of course, be mixing him up with some other hairy Welsh dwarf

Um, excuse me Mr H T Wise: I have a note from my mum:

Dear Mr H T Wise
Dlsharrock is having his wisdom teeth out next week, under general anaesthetic, and everyone he's said this too has made a sort of nasty wincing sound and advised him he should be prepared for taking a couple days out from life due to the pain etc. So I think, if he makes it to the next round, I will not be able to allow him to participate in your nice game next week from Tuesday to Thursday (3 days to be on the safe side). If it turns out he loses this round (and that really wouldn't be a surprise to me, I can tell you- sigh) then it doesn't matter.
Yours Sincerely
Dlsharrock's Mum

Works for me. I don't get back until Tuesday night, but I never write the first day anyway.

While it looks like we are going to have a later start for match 12, I'm hoping to get the other three matches (9, 10 and 11) started before or on the weekend - dependent upon people's preferred schedules. As such, if you advance, your writing skills will most likely be required before your dental procedure, rather than during. Of course, if you think being spaced out/tripping on anaesthetic and pain medication may enhance your chances... I could always delay the start...if you would prefer.

As my internet at home is still ...shady, I can not garantee judgements over the weekend.

He's a desert dwarf. He and Maxfield and I used too be in a critique group together.

 

[Thorod Ashstaff]

Yeah, high desert dwarf here. New Mexico raised, green chile addicted, and, sadly, never been to Cardiff...

It would only lead to random drug testing in the CDM, and I don't want that on my conscience.

I edited one of the WotBS adventures while on painkillers for knee surgery. That was fun. One of the villains always keeps trying to mess up the PCs' knees if he gets the chance.

I'd love to see Olympic writing competitions, where people would dope with LSD and Absinthe.

 

[Berandor]

I might not be around for the weekend (beginning tomorrow, since Germany has a holiday), or I will probably be around to check, but not to write. It's not clear yet, but if I don't write anything, you know what's up.
