BATTLE: The (Un)Official LitReactor Brawl
How it works:
You sign up. On OCTOBER 2nd, I’ll randomly pick ten people to participate. 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 OCTOBER 12th 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!!
In order to sign up, leave a comment here with your favorite dinner. That's it, just tell me your favorite dinner and I'll add your name to the list.

My favorite dinner is sesame tofu with broccoli and rice.
I feel as if I should autoplay some song here.
what the hell. i'm in. my favorite dinner is probably Mongolian Beef with an egg roll and some hot and sour soup.
I'm sure as soon as I press the Post button my phone will ring and I'll have to suddenly work my sanity off, but
CHICKEN SOUP!!!
My favorite meal is any kind of steak with garlic mash and some steamed veggies. Except carrots. Carrots can die.
I love angel hair pasta with veggies and lots of Parmesan cheese.
I'm in. My favorite dinner is tacos. Just any kind of tacos.
The rules unfairly limit participation to people who enjoy eating.
EDIT --- This is not an attempted entry.
I'm with Garfield, can't beat a good lasagne!
Don't believe JYH! Enter him, or he'll guilt trip the hell out of you later for it.
Grilled cheese toasted sandwich.
The reason I made the rules that you have to post food to enter is BECAUSE of JYH! Now there is no question.
Now there is no question
What was the question which no longer exists?
[I really was trying to make a funny. Please excuse me for polluting your sticky.]
I'm curious about how to comment on our own stories if we're picked. How should that work?
So if we sign up we're commiting to reading and commenting on the 10 stories regardless of if we're picked to write or not? Am I understand that right?
Word length constraints?
just the first few things questions that come to my head
Please refer to the rules section: if you are chosen, you do not tell anyone you are chosen. Therefore you can make comment on your own story without anyone being the wiser.
Yes, you are making a commitment. But just a month long one.
It will be 2500 words.
Street Tacos!
I understand that, in theory, just think it might lead to some awkwardness. I'm also probably just overthinking it. Commitments are cool, just wanted to make sure I understood everything right.
I'll throw myself in. For my participation I'll treat myself to a dinner of chicken fried steak with country gravy and biscuits.
So, do you have to have a LitReactor membership to participate?
Also, how many rounds is this one going to be? I think the last one was a bit too long.
Will there be regular seeding for the first round, or just random selection of opponents?
I'm in.
OTIS DIDN'T READ THE RULES!
Otis PMmed me. He likes bacon.
So if we're doing this 100% anonymous, how am I supposed to know who my opponent is?
Utah is haunted by the ghost of past WARs.
Whatever.
Anyway, so I PM to join, right?
Guinness stew!
Lets please don't give Avery too many questions. Just say what you love to eat. I want his to be easy for her so we can do it more often. You say your fav meal, you might get randomly picked -- like on the price is right-- as a contestant. The rest will become evident as the game progresses, yes ?
and maybe we can get sweet Covewriter to raise hell at us.
I'm already loving it.
I'm tossing aside morals and integrity to say the following sentence...my opponents liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti.
MMMMM Steak and chips with onion rings please :)
I'm in. Picking a favorite is hard. I'm going with vegan kielbasa on a roll loaded with sauerkraut, tall side of Einbecker Ur-Bock.
Steamed chicken confit with asparagus and mashed sweet potatoes. I cook a lot.
"Polluting Your Sticky" is my next short story.
Read the RULES Utah, it's all right there, brother.
Tacos. All day, ury day.
chicken tikka masala.
My favorite dinner is your souls.
Read the RULES Utah, it's all right there, brother.
Am I the only one here who enjoys flashback humor?
Can i change my answer to tacos?
Sunomono, sushi, and sashimi. Cocktails.
I love flashback humor.
But I DON'T eat it.

I think everyone is still shunning you for the WAR2 bailout. Please don't autoplay anything.
#TeamAvery
the WAR2 bailout
I didn't realize this was a thing...
But if it is, shouldn't it be
The WAR2 Bailout,
or,
The (Un)Official WAR2 Bailout
or even
Where's Waldo: The Utah Edition?
My favorite dinner is my girlfriends meatloaf. If there's a joke in there, write it yourself.
Psyched for stories!!!
I like The (Un)Official WAR2 Bailout
Because it really wasn't official! So it's accurate!!
#TeamAvery
The (Un)Official WAR2 Bailout
And so it is!
I'll have to start a thread with some creative excuses developed for my mid-stream vanishment.
#teamutah
And.... um.... we have till when to decide? (I just can't decide what my fav food is actually)
Of course I wanna play.
Pizza. Red wine. Salad.
In.
Q: are sundangs allowed?
Liana - You have until Wednesday!
I want innnnn! My favorite dinner is this barbaric hamburger mushy gravy stuff my mom makes with corn and peas and mashed potatoes. I love it but I was raised with it. An ordinary person would probably think it beastly.
