Matt. I am eighteen years old. Bar fight? Really?
Okay, that story turned out well. I will concede that. But still! Be nice to me. I'm a poor young female with lots and lots of tumultuous emotions, goddamnit. I am feminine as fuck. I will cry.

I still don't know why you hated the birds so much! I wrote 4,900 fucking words without a problem. Are you more of a woman than me, is that it? Do you have to find something to complain about?! (Kidding.) (Maybe.)

@Type I've done my fair share of drinking, but always at home/at parties/in the hotel at which I work (big mistake mixing work and intoxication, by the way. Stole a trash can from my own hotel.) My boyfriend's on probation now, so I haven't gotten fucked up in three months, anyway.

@Batflower: You have seven days to prepare a rough draft and post it in the workshop. After that, you have an additional week to tune that story into a final and, again, post it up in the workshop. Then, a poll is created with the finals of both of you. The people of LR vote for a week, winner take all. If you're not a paying workshop member, I'm sure you and Courtney can work out something. I'd be happy to post up a poll if you guys need assistance or a third party.
@Courtney: Just because I'm well aware of your literary chops, doesn't mean my vote will sway in your favor. In the Battledome, partnerships must be ignored for the integrity of the battle.

Fine, Bill. How do you phonetically denote a quick burst of air through your nose? Humph? Well, humph.
I'm writing something completely unlike anything I usually write. God, I'm a teenage girl. It certainly shows in this piece... I'm almost a little embarrassed. I have a rough 2,400 words down already. I'm going to polish the fuck out of it, though, and hopefully make it a little less... girly.

Matt, you crack me the fuck up. Intentional verb phrase split. Don't you dare correct my grammar.
In other news, I uploaded my rough draft. It has a sex scene. It is a sex scene, really, with a tiny portion added in to be considered in line with the prompt. Feel free to dog me for straying so far from the prompt.

I see that Batflower and Courtney are supposed to be having a polled battle up right now. Anybody going to post this poll so we can all see what is the what?

I asked in the Whoring thread if someone could, I forgot to ask on here. I'm at work and can't save files, only download them -- would someone else mind posting that for us? I won't be able to do it tonight, either, because I work until 11pm and come back in at 7am.

If I had known you were a hippie exterminator I would have invited you to join my club. See, we're this secret organization dedicated to, well, killing hippies. Primarily to use their hair to create wigs for children with leukemia. So you see, what you do for fun can also be for a greater good.
Wow, this place is dead today.
I'll do the honors.
Prompt: It arrived on the current.
Go!
That's going to be a hell of a lot easier than any prompt I've done before. Fuck yeah.
Look at you, all Courtney Confident. And I soooo wanted to supply the prompt for you two. No matter! Another time...good luck!
Thanks! Also, you should be biased and root only for me since I'm your Duo Competition/Team Slayer partner. (Kidding.) (Maybe.)
Not a bad a prompt, also, chicks with balls would have been acceptable. Also, stop complaining about my prompts, they're brilliant!

Sad face. Perhaps I didn't take your.....wait..ARE YOU SERIOUS! Bar fight you complain about, but talking fucking birds is ok!? LOL

@Courtney, by eighteen, here, you'd be a fucking sensei in the way of the beer bottle club,

heh, fair enough
There are a lot of possibilities with that prompt. This is going to be fun. I have seven days to prepare for the beatdown, correct?

How dare you! That is a medical problem and I can't help it. LOL

When is the rough due, Courtney?
Not until midnight tomorrow. I shot Batflower a message to let her know I was in way early and she could relax.
I have all the way til midnight? Sweet! I usually can't do much til the deadline is almost up anyway.
Not sure why, but this midnight deadline reminds me of the following song:
Story is posted. Feelings are being firmly stuffed into a box until such a time as they are actually useful.
Guys, I've had one review. And I asked Type to review it for me. Help. Please.

This thread has gone quiet and dusty. I ask you all, all who are brave enough to continue battling:
Bill challenge Dwayne. He seems to have some time on his hands.
Off to lupper!
Fine! I challenge thee, Dwyane, to a battle! Here's hoping you actually read this thread.
If he doesn't respond, you'll just have to pm him.
Yeah, that's what I figured. Hmmm, I wonder if doing so would be like dragging a reluctant gladiator into the Colosseum. Whatever works!
I'm sad no one does this anymore
Shit, I completely forgot to PM Dwayne. I thought after WAR settled down, this would resurrect itself, but no such luck.
Everybody got all caught up in soap operatic bullshit. Some people just need to be goaded into performance.
Now I'm so depressed about waiting for the June announcement that I can't even incite a battle. What a world.
I need another point.
One measly point.
1.
Go earn one, hippie!
Hippie?
Hippy?
Hoppy?
Hippity-hoppity?
Hip-hoppery?
Is that a play on my name, or are you mistaking me for someone else?
I think she's referring to the flowers in your hair and the fact that you always smell like patchouli.
That's not patchouli you're smelling; it's the blood of a thousand dead hippies.
Those flowers are for their graves.
I'm a gentleman after all.
If I had known you were a hippie exterminator I would have invited you to join my club. See, we're this secret organization dedicated to, well, killing hippies. Primarily to use their hair to create wigs for children with leukemia. So you see, what you do for fun can also be for a greater good.
You think wigs are fun?
...
Hippy.
Careful. I'll have to swat you with my edit-stick. I am powerful. Like Christopher Walken, but my hair isn't as nice and I'm not a millionaire.
==============Edit-stick================))
Are you breaking up with Bill?
But he seems so nice.
Wait, are you accepting his challenge, did someone formally challenge the other? Was there a prompt?
Yeah I'm accepting. He put it up weeks ago and just PMed me today.
He or you need to formally challenge and someone needs to give you a prompt
Bill laid down a formal challenge already. Dwayne accepted.
Prompt: Stop touching that.
Nice prompt.
I don't think I have time to litbattle, however if I did, there could be only one challenger. The LitQueen herself.
I'd like to do this again, I just need to earn more points. And have more time when I'm not exhausted.
