The "Creative Writing" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only.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.
The rules:
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

I need to finish mine but it'll be tomorrow when I get it in. Is that okay?
I might write one.
He might give until tomorrow for you both.
Then that's two of us who missed it.
With that in mind I wondered who all the entries were from - I've just skimmed down the list and I can honestly say I'm glad I'm not Meka. I haven't had time to read any entries yet but imagine that'll teach him to put you can enter as many times as you like :D

D'oh, didn't realise it ended so soon.
It's over already? I had a cute story in my head for this as well. The time has just flown between comps this time.
Any hints to who may win?
I'm going to start reading now.
But I won't get through them all in one go. Because I've only got a little time now before I have some stuff to do.
But they'll all be read over the weekend.

Mine's complete crap. I really need to learn how to plan a story otherwise I'll continue to end up with a bit of a mess with no real point to it.
Aha. Mine has come out again, just as always. Written in a very strange manner indeed and with quite the twist. Like always it won't win, because it's not perfect English or a complete story technique. But it will no doubt amuse, entertain and open some minds of those who read it.
