I am ready. @indigoasis @TheSilentChloey Please harass me until feedback is provided. *** Now, this next prompt has an interesting meta-history of its own. It's an old one that I often think of bringing back, but I always push it off in my head. "It's too recent to use again," I say. "We'll have to wait to bring it back". Well, it turns out it's been over two years since we used the prompt originally, which I found mortifying. How time flies! Anyway, that should be enough buffer to re-use it. So, without further ado, your prompt is: On 8/15/2020 at 1:29 AM, AnonymousSpeed said: Write using the setting and characters from a story someone else submitted in a previous round. You may not consult the original author or ask for their permission. The last line is the most important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm more surprised it took this long to come back. 21 hours ago, AnonymousSpeed said: Now, this next prompt has an interesting meta-history of its own.

Acacia Sgt Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 I remember one of my own (or I think it was just the one at the time) was used last time the prompt was used. That was neat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoulWeaver Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 Going back through to look for ideas, dang Anon, you've been at this longer than I thought. Also I only today understood your Spiderman fanfic thanks to a Marvel encyclopedia thing I got for Christmas, nice. I might actually be stealing an early entry of Jotari's this time, we'll see.

indigoasis Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 I've got a question: Are the entries we're allowed to plagiarize limited to what was submitted in this thread, or are we allowed to peruse from prior WYBO threads? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 7/3/2022 at 10:50 AM, AnonymousSpeed said: @SoulWeaver Hide contents I get the feeling this story is designed as an introduction to the fictional card game, but I still only kind of understand how it works. I'm not sure if that's more than I should have expected or less, because I'm not totally lost but I'm not totally confident either. It's mechanically interesting in a narrative way, if that makes sense- it's enjoyable enough to read it described, even if it does seem a bit like discount Battle Chip Challenge. Since it mostly focuses on the game, I don't have much to say about the characters. Since I have never played or watched Yugioh, I don't have much to say about that comparison. Hide contents The storm clouds above seemed to glow red, then a massive hand that appeared to be made of solid blood burst through the clouds and reached down for the screeching Dragon-Slayer. Ignoring the creature's frantic attempts to beat at it, the hand grasped it and dragged it into the heavens as David's opponent screamed in rage. “NO, NO, NO!!! OUR CHANCE, OUR LAST CHANCE – AAAGH!” As David and Emogine watched, startled, the man began to crumble and dissolve. He still screamed until there was nothing left. This was absolutely horrifying, and I do not like that you put it in. Why must these card games contain infinite cosmic horror? More reviews to come as I write them. This is a far back quote but somebody on The Breakfast Club just posted a crap ton of old Exceed/Seventh Cross artwork, so I can finally link you to the image of the card in question. The man crumbling and dissolving didn't need to happen, admittedly, but here we are. I also discovered Emogine, the girl in the pic, is 5'3". This is a wondrous discovery that I must share.

TheSilentChloey Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 So... I am at an impasse... I think I'm going to plagiarise myself this round... And I do not like where that is going to go... apologies in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
