Iron DM 2023 Scheduling Thread

Boy, this round's prompts are a lot harder, even leaving aside that there are more of them.

This challenge ain't easy, that's for sure.

Spoiler: Judge-Free Commentary

What can I say? I had two tonally opposing ideas, wrote both of them, but ran out of time (Tuesdays are New Comic Day, and I am running late already!) So, rather than finishing either, I combined them into one.

I'm well aware that, while amusing, it's a bit of a mess, quite a bit short, and throws away a couple of ingredients as jokes or a quick reference that isn't as important as they need to be for a truly good entry.

I wish I could have brought one or the other of my two ideas to proper fruition, but such is life. I hope you all enjoy it for what it is, though, and hey! Maybe Wizbang'll have trouble too! You never know!

@Snarf Zagyg and @Iron Sky, your ingredients have been posted.

@Snarf Zagyg and @Iron Sky, your ingredients have been posted.

This is a really evocative list of ingredients. Looking forward to seeing where you both take this set.

Please excuse any delay in my judgements for the current round; I am currently in jury duty, which will significantly limit by ability to respond

Huh. For reasons I'd rather not get into, this ingredient list has me completely stumped right now. I'm going to have to sleep on it, but one ingredient in particular is proving particularly frustrating in terms of trying to decide how I want to even approach this.*

So ... job accomplished, I guess?

*After I submit, I'll post why this is causing me such problems!

I will do my best to render a judgment on r2m1 tonight.

Yeah, on mine, I had to write 75% of it, and then sleep on it. By the end of the next morning's shower, my subconscious had worked out how to successfully use the rest of the ingredients (I think, anyway).

I just posted mine, much to the chagrin of the work I was supposed to get done today......
