I'll let Tom and Sean decide if they want my chicken feather ass in their battle. Otherwise I will write my awesome honey badger story and stroke it lovingly. Ironically enough, it will be a part of my short story collection.

I don't even care if I lose. I love the protagonist of my story too damn much for pride.

They'll be in a thread this time, no workshopping. It'll pretty much be exactly like a WAR matchup, but instead it'll be called Beyond Thunderdome and there will be three of us duking it out.

Hey - just to let you cuties know, you can send your story to me Sunday night. I won't post them until Monday morning. I have awkward rules about the internet.
So if you would like to extend that deadline to midnight, I wouldn't care, but that's up to you.
Also, if you don't remember my email address from the War, please message me and I'll give it to you.

I feel like we are supposed to talk shit or something...so, um, yeah, I'm slowly trudging my way through this story. Kinda feel like a third wheel now that it has become the original challenge participants as well as me, so I hope I destroy the both of you.
P.S. "talking shit" during a writing contest kind of feels like Revenge of the Nerds II when Gilbert gets injured playing chess. That said, my present participle is going to kick the shit out of your prepositional phrase! Awwww SNAP!

Okay. No more gifs.

Prompt:
I know Renee was anxious to issue a prompt so I contacted her and she is not near a computer so she gave me the authority (Demanded me) to issue you guys her GIF from page 53 of this thread as a prompt.
The one with the high dancing girl.
Good day.
Sound
from Azusa, CA is reading Greener Pastures by Michael WehuntMarch 22, 2013 - 1:50pm
Oh, yeah. Renfield, prepare to suffer a slow, horribly choreographed death.
Are you ok if we follow the same conditions as Sean/Bek/Martin's battle? (No workshop, two weeks, annonymous poll). I'm not currently a member, and wouldn't have no where near the required points to post up two drafts.

You could send your stories to me and I could create a poll for you guys if you want, figured I'd take a little bit of the load off Jessica. The war just ended and she's already posting stories and polls again.
Sound
from Azusa, CA is reading Greener Pastures by Michael WehuntMarch 22, 2013 - 2:27pm
Sure, ok. I can post it myself also.
Jonathan Riley

That'll work if Ren wants to send you his story, so you can post them anonymously. Just let me know what you guys want to do.

I've been busy, but equally thirsty since war is over and I'm finishing up some things. I can't help but notice Mr. Frank Chapel seems eager to join the fun.
I appologize for not responding sooner, but I'm game.

I saw the prompt before he accepted. Might give me an advantage, but I think it's his wheelhouse. I'm down if he is.
