    Only metaphorical.

    My goal it to inflict bleeding damage on you, which lasts forever and is 1 hp/s for damage.
    Gotta stack the debuff to 10, you know?

    Can't we have the work available to read and the grading later?
    Letting the public read it beforehand won't change the grading, right? Or did I forgot something from the rules of the contest? It's been so long, my memory is blur and too lazy to check back.
    I just want to read everyone's contest submissions.

    The judging is blind. The problem isn't the audience knowing at all. The judges have no idea which of you wrote which stories.

    That's quite.... far. I haven't decided what to do if the other judge comes back yet, but I am definitely considering options. There is no way this will make it past June. ^_^

    Just saying, isn't this making it so the next competition can't be held?

    Another competition can be... I don't see why one could not be!! Our first contests were simultaneous. Also... this one is in judging and only waiting on results. Actual "contesting" is done ^_^

    Isn't there any new competition happening soon? I mean Easter is up right around the corner, so something on that maybe? Idk...
    Or wait, this is a novel site, so something on a novel instead. Since we've drawn pictures and written stories already, why not make poems this time? A poem on your favorite scene of a novel or a poem on a scene of your favorite novel. Idk if it'll be easier to judge, but at least the length wouldn't be as long as a story... It could also be restricted to 3 pages or something? Or a certain format of poem. Or etc.

    Then again, this is writing again, so maybe it might be better to do something like making a summary or a review of a piece of writing. It would be something like the a predetermined piece of writing, to which competitors would give a review or summary or whatever the competition is about. (Though now that I think about it, the same could be done for writing poems.)

    So... what do you think?

    a poem, well, idk just randomly threw out a number there without thinking much. I was thinking something along the lines of poem with a few words for each line only and not a whole long sentence for each line.

    I think no one would trust me to do it -__-

    I'll be abstaining from competitions for a while after this. Other mods might be interested though~

    I'll certainly read it and maybe even participate -3-

    It sounds fun :3
