How is it gonna work if the prompt is empty?

I've been out of the loop of this group for quite a while; have there any events of note?

>>QuillScratch
I've promoted this content on the She-Ra subreddit, and will do my best to write one or more entries.

Let's do this round properly ;-)

>>Pascoite
Do you have an idea on when/if the next one is going to be?

A shame there was only one entry.

I really wanted to participate, but...well, life got in the way

How long has the prompt voting been this way?

>>GroaningGreyAgony
"This is the story of Polka, who lives in the land of Pollock, and her romantic triangle with Dot and Splatter. Will she survive between a yandere and a kuudere?"

Huh. First time I have the opportunity to go first.

Sooo...if a prompt isn't semantically attached to anything, how would one draw it?

The prompt submission seems a little sparse

>>Anon Y Mous
That's very informative, thank you :-)

I apologize for being late to the party and having to have things explained to him, but...since the prompt gets chosen tomorrow, but writing doesn't start until the 24th, what's stopping people from starting to write before the actual writing period?

Aside from the honor code, I mean

:-\

Huh. Prompts are anonymous too, right?

Welp, I've submitted something. Time to see if I can do a hat trick and enter with more than one story.

Dangit, this conflicts with my schedule a bit. Time to hammer away at my calendar

Made it with a whole seven minutes to spare.

It does feel a bit empty right now, yes

Wonder how much Christmas is going to affect this round

Loved the ending line.

Very much cutting the Gordian knot there, dude.

This feels like the first chapter for a semi-successful web-serial, but I don't know if the core idea is sustainable in the long run; still, so far it's the best of the fics I've read (that being four).

Aaaaannnnndddd done. Always feel happy entering in one of these, even if I've never placed very high :-)

Heh. Pretty good.

Man, apparently parallel universes bring out the meta conversations in all of us.

Actually really liked it. Gold star.

I can see your point about this not feeling self-contained, but I think that given the limitations of the minific this story did the best it could.

I....think that the only way to close the story would be to add a line from Vivienne's mind about something something optimism, but it runs the risk of feeling fake.

I...don't understand how the prompt was used here?

And yeah, I can empathize with the data collection part but...if the only results in line with the expectations are the ones where the assistant where drunk or the coolant levels were wrong, doesn't that actually suggest that the procedure is flawed (perhaps in the amount of coolant that should be used?)

Touching. So far the best I've read, but I've only read three.

I was completely convinced I wasn't going to make it, and instead...wow. Guess a forced vacation and no time aren't enough to stop me from writing :-)

(Although gods, writing everything on a tablet wasn't easy)
