BATTLE: The (Un)Official LitReactor Brawl
How it works:
You sign up. Around noon-ish on November 8th, I’ll randomly pick ten people to participate (if you got an automatic in because of the last Battle, please still sign up so I know you're using it!). Those people will write to a prompt and submit their stories anonymously (details on how to submit will be sent to participants via a message here). Stories will be due NOVEMBER 18th at 9pm CST. I will post a poll and everyone will have 2 weeks to read, respond to, and critique the ten stories. The winner is the one with the most votes.
RULES:
You can’t reveal if you are selected to write.
You can’t reveal if you are NOT selected to write. Anyone who does this will be eliminated from this and all future Battles.
You must read every story
You must make a comment about every story (at least one pro and one con)
You must vote
You CAN’T vote for your own story
Failure to do any of these things means you lose. I will remove your story and any votes it received will go to me. If I collect enough points I get a pony.
You MUST have a LitReactor membership to participate. You will only need it for one month, long enough to read the stories and vote. So this contest will cost $9.
Do NOT sign up if you can't commit to these guidelines!!

Who won the other one?
Since I'm not sure which you really want:
I'm in. I believe I got an auto-in from last time, but hey, whatever works! New favorite dinner is vegan meatloaf sandwiches I made the other night that were fucking amazing. Favorite cartoon is still probably Invader Zim, with Courage the Cowardly Dog coming in a very close second. I also sort of miss Jonny Bravo for reasons I honestly couldn't delineate in any coherent fashion.
Adventure Time!
I want in. My favorite dinner is cartoons.
hrm...
I meant just cartoon. And yeah. I don't proof read.
OtistheBulldog won the last one!
Regular Show
I'm in! Regular Show--but don't tell my daughter. I'm always telling her to shut it off. The fat dude with the man-boobs is the best--I totally grew up with that guy in HS and let me tell you he didn't turn out well. He'd be so lucky to live in a trailer and work for the parks department.
I don't watch any current cartoons, so I'll just go with the last one I enjoyed watching: Simpsons!
Count me in!
My favorite cartoon is Adventure Time.
Reading comments below--my love for Archer moves me to edit and change my vote. Though, AT is awesome.
And, yes, my priorities are often questionable.
I wasn't gonna do it again but now i have these characters in my head so i'll go again. My girlfriend doesn't allow me to watch cartoons but i have to go with Adventure Time as well.
Futurama
In. Cartoon: Archer. Dinner: Raw eggs.
In. Animaniacs. Lasagna.
Does Howl's Moving Castle count? Not a series, but animated... I usually have to watch whatever the Manimal is watching.
In any case, I'm in!
In. Bob's Burgers. Homemade Pizza. Just to clarify, pizza is the dinner, Bob's Burgers is the cartoon, and in is IN.
Wow you are doing this again. Awesome. My cartoon: Road Runner.
Pink Panther! (yes, it's a cartoon)
Rocko's Modern Life. So psyched we're doing this again!
Neon Genesis Evangelion
Pink Panther! (yes, it's a cartoon)
Ha ha. I remember this one too!
Wow you are doing this again. Awesome. My cartoon: Road Runner.
Road Runner! Oh man, I wanna change my answer to road runner too. Love that show. I have a real soft spot for wile e coyote. He's so misunderstood!
OKAY! Everyone who signed up should have received a message. IF YOU DID NOT GET A MESSAGE - SEND ME A MESSAGE!!
Otherwise, carry on.
