The "Creative Writing" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
Enter as many times as you like, and it can be as long as you like, but if I'm not interested by the time I have to scroll down the screen, I won't read the rest.
I'll judge on the weekend of the 10th/11th, so entries in before then please.
And the topic is:
Blood in the snow
That doesn't mean it has to be about murder and mutilation, by the way. Or self-harming. I won't read any stories that go "I cut myself because I am sad, and I want attention," but if they're forced to harm themselves for other reasons, gnaw off an arm to free themselves from a wreckage, for instance, that's okay.
RESULTS
Fantastic entries, very high standard this time, many were a joy to read. Had trouble picking a winner from the last three, all of which were very strong. Special mention for Styke for mocking self-harming. 4 REAL.
Runners up:
tnc: - Noble trades are no more
FFF: - Escape
Winner:
unknown kernel: - At the Bottom of a Flask
Congrats.
So what now? I think of a topic and put up a deadline, right? I was thinking of the 22nd and judging on the 23rd. That's only ten days but after that I'm working ten days straight for fresher's week and because I'm due to have moved house I probably won't have internet at home during that time. That alright for everyone?
So, thanks Meka and well done to the kernel.
Just make sure it's a good subject ;)
