WHAT AM I DOING HERE?
Okay, you need to write us a fantasy short story. It can be any length, but it has to be good. Here are the rules:
- No plagiarizing. It's illegal.
- It must be in English.
- It must be fiction/fantasy.
- It must be readable. If your story has grade school grammar or some illegible or hard to read/put up with font, it will be disqualified.
WHAT ARE THE PRIZES?
Since we are all dirt broke, the prizes are crappy, but we do what we can:
- 100,000 TC. May raise as we get more donations.
- A "Good Enough Writer" medal, from me.
- A random selection of whatever valuable items I can get my hands on by April 30th.
- Happiness for winning something.
- Second/third placers might get something too.
GIVE ME SOME TIPS!
Okay. And this time, I'll use bullet points!
- Use at least somewhat proper English. We like it.
- Don't purposefully make your story long or short. Make it long enough/short enough to fit the story. We don't judge the length.
- Bonus points for basing it on our RPGs!
- Use your time wisely!! You have one month. A good story can be made and refined in one month.
- Bribe us. We need donations.
- Check out our board. It's what the event is for and we'll like you for it.

True Life Story
First of all this is a true story and I can in no way make this up.
So today I went out and forgot my keys so I had to wait until my mom got back from shopping (which toke about 30 min). So to pass the time I ventured down into our apartment basement and looked around. Suddenly I had the urge to shit but there was no place to go and I really didn't want to ask my neighbors to use there's. So after about 10 minutes of looking around I see a microwave and decided "why not"? So I opened it, sat down and starting doing my business. After I was done I thought "hmm what if I microwaved this"? So I looked around an found an electrical outlet, plugged it in and it worked! I decided to set it for 10 minutes. While I was microwaving it I decided to see if my mom was home, sure enough she was. So when I go back downstairs I smell this horrible odor and open up the microwave and I almost threw up. Not one of my better ideas but at least I know not to microwave shit again...
