Jessica gave us the prompt and it looks like we're burying a gun....

"That's not how it happened, exactly."

clever...

Also, I was bornon the 7th. I think it's lucky. But it was December 7th, so some other people might disagree.

I'm so pissed that I missed giving my prompt.

FUCKING BUSINESS VENTURES.

avery of the dead from Kentucky is reading Cipher Sisters April 13, 2012 - 2:07pm

HAHAHA! I pounced on it like a tiger!

Laramore Black from Joplin, Missouri is reading Mario Kart 8 April 13, 2012 - 2:10pm

It's funny that you said the word 'tiger'.

YOU WOULD ALL KNOW WHY THAT IS FUNNY IF I GOT THE CHANCE TO GIVE MY PROMPT.

It's on like Donkey Kong! Re-worked Part 1 is available for workshop ass kickings here. I'll set up the poll once my opponent submits his Final.

Good luck, Grigori!

The Seventh is the best day to hit birth.

That prompt sounds familiar.

avery of the dead from Kentucky is reading Cipher Sisters April 13, 2012 - 3:36pm

It sounds familiar, but it is different. Trust me. I'm a professional!

Chester Pane from Portland, Oregon is reading The Brief and Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Diaz April 13, 2012 - 3:45pm

Prompt recycler!

avery of the dead from Kentucky is reading Cipher Sisters April 13, 2012 - 3:48pm

Dave from a city near you is reading constantly April 13, 2012 - 3:55pm

Avery's a re-prompter

avery of the dead from Kentucky is reading Cipher Sisters April 13, 2012 - 5:00pm

Fuck you all. It isn't the same. And it's awesome.

Just like me.

@Courtney

I didn't die, I just got detained. Long story short: there will be a minor delay until I get access to my computer.

Matt Attack from Richmond, Va. is reading As I Lay Dying, William Faulkner April 14, 2012 - 3:52am

Courtney from the Midwest is reading Monkey: A Journey to the West and a thousand college textbooks April 14, 2012 - 1:23pm

For the love of God - it is NOT a recycled prompt!

Courtney from the Midwest is reading Monkey: A Journey to the West and a thousand college textbooks April 14, 2012 - 3:54pm

Damn, that was quick. I never read your rough draft -- I'm going to do an LBL on the finished one.

PandaMask from Los Angeles is reading More Than Human April 14, 2012 - 3:55pm

Matt Attack from Richmond, Va. is reading As I Lay Dying, William Faulkner April 14, 2012 - 4:03pm

@Panda

PandaMask from Los Angeles is reading More Than Human April 14, 2012 - 4:59pm

Over here we say it sometimes. I think it's funny.

Dave from a city near you is reading constantly April 15, 2012 - 4:37am

Never heard it before.

Matt Attack from Richmond, Va. is reading As I Lay Dying, William Faulkner April 15, 2012 - 5:00am

Nor have I.

EDIT

Matt Attack from Richmond, Va. is reading As I Lay Dying, William Faulkner April 16, 2012 - 10:02am

Clarification on my prompt...so.....does it have to be a main that lies, or can it be an overall lie that everyone has bought into including the main and thus perpetuates it or....something? Help.

Matt Attack from Richmond, Va. is reading As I Lay Dying, William Faulkner April 16, 2012 - 10:14am

Nevermind, I figured out a way around this.

Matt Attack from Richmond, Va. is reading As I Lay Dying, William Faulkner April 17, 2012 - 2:49pm

Dave, I need to postpone. People are fighting tooth and nail to get votes, or reviews and all that jazz right now....so, until things settle down, I am not doing any contest stuff here....I am so, so sorry man...I seriously am. It's a shitty thing to do, I know.

The minute things even out....I will pick ours back up, along with one I still owe Black. Right now, it's just not worth it.

Matt Attack from Richmond, Va. is reading As I Lay Dying, William Faulkner April 17, 2012 - 2:56pm

I'll buy ya a book or something. Once again, sorry.

Dave from a city near you is reading constantly April 17, 2012 - 3:09pm

It's all good.

Grigori Black from US is reading Radium Girls by Amanda Gowin April 17, 2012 - 8:24pm

Dave, I need to postpone.

@Dave

I think he's intimidated/confused by us. We need a third clone to come in and challenge him, really mess with his head.

Matt Attack from Richmond, Va. is reading As I Lay Dying, William Faulkner April 18, 2012 - 4:10am

That is exactly what it means. LOL

Dave from a city near you is reading constantly April 20, 2012 - 11:51am

BWAHAHAHA

Courtney from the Midwest is reading Monkey: A Journey to the West and a thousand college textbooks April 23, 2012 - 3:34pm

Anybody feel like a battle? I like the competition too much to let this thread get so dusty.

Batflower from Stillwater, Oklahoma is reading A Clash of Kings by George R. R. Martin April 26, 2012 - 11:23pm

Utah from Fort Worth, TX is reading Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry April 27, 2012 - 5:24am

Dear Batflower: You gots to say "I challenge thee".

Seriously not making that up.

Also, good to see you active. And jumping right in with a battle! You've got balls! Can I say that? Is that right?

Batflower from Stillwater, Oklahoma is reading A Clash of Kings by George R. R. Martin April 27, 2012 - 12:24pm

Ok then. I challenge thee, Courtney.

You can say thatbecause I do indeed have balls. They just happen to be on the inside.

Courtney from the Midwest is reading Monkey: A Journey to the West and a thousand college textbooks April 27, 2012 - 1:11pm

Hell yeah! Now we need a prompt and we're ready to go.

Batflower from Stillwater, Oklahoma is reading A Clash of Kings by George R. R. Martin April 27, 2012 - 1:23pm

I've got my mouthguard and gloves!

Batflower from Stillwater, Oklahoma is reading A Clash of Kings by George R. R. Martin April 27, 2012 - 1:28pm

I'm under the impression that a third party supplies the prompt. . .is that correct?
