That was good. I liked the premise.

I, uhh, notice now that this is 1200+ words, which is a bit over the limit. I hope that's not too much of a problem. Formatting might need a lil' tweaking, too. Anyway, Red Lines, here goes;

Write more, would you kindly.

Entry for Draignean's contest. If I do continue entering in his contests, I want to have all my entries link together in one continuity. For giggles, I guess.

Huh. Never heard of a post-apocolyptic setting caused by the end of scarcity. Interesting concept.

Kinda pointless excerpt from the novel I started back for NaNo. Doesn't really follow the prompt so discount it for the contest. Was more of an experiment in writing 1st person text than anything. Drugged-up nutcase dreamwalker is looking for his cat in strange places. It's more supernatural/horror if anything. Usually I write more medieval fantasy crap.

Will the person in charge of the writing prompt announce the results? I wanna see my name in the lights, so to speak.

I wrote a story for Draignean's contest! But I feel apprehensive about uploading.

You could PM it to him and have it as an anonymous?

And there's chaos when push comes to shove, but it's music to my ears.

Indeed. You would not be the first to do so. I promise to not be offended or think less of you for anything your write. Unless it's just a 25 word 'yo momma' joke, in which case I'll break your kneecaps for not adhering to guidlines.

EDIT: I can't use the english language in the morning. Seriously, reading what I sleep-type is equal parts humiliating and hilarious. It's entirely phonetic.

Contest 1
Redactions are noted by a red strikethrough. Insertions in green, comments in blue boldface.








FAKEEDIT: Doing this in stages. I have some HW that I need to get done over the weekend, and the recolors make this take a lot longer than I expected. Other writeups coming later.

RealEdit: Cut the original of the Anonymous entry. The annotated version is pretty much unreadable, but the post is breaking the character limit otherwise.

Not done grading yet. So, if you can finish them before tonight then you'll be fine. I'll only hate you a little.
