@writercatherine Yes, that is exactly what happens. You might want to be careful next time you throw a cookie at me. You almost accidentally detonated the bomb. You barely escaped a terrible fate, like when you catch yourself just before you put cayenne pepper in your oatmeal instead of cinnamon.

Okay then, do you guys think it’s better to go with the less-unique angle? That’s fine with me it that’s what you want to do. Which one are we going to do?

How are we going to make it funny? I’m not at all good at that sort of thing because even though I *coughs* like using a lot of…[Read more]

@steward-of-the-pen I would say that theme is slightly less important than comedy, since that is the main goal of this prompt. However, if you can include some nice theme, I know the judge would appreciate that. 😛

@writercatherine My main thoughts about uniqueness is that comedy is easily sacrificed for being unique, and you need to make sure…[Read more]

@writercatherine Ha, never! I shall remain loyal to our guildmaster’s wishes. Pizza is better than cookies anyway. *Calmly munches pizza while balancing the simile bomb in the other hand*

@writercatherine Oy, length could be an issue. But I think we could do it. The problem with doing the first option with da Vinci’s POV and the stuff happening while he’s painting (even though that would be really funny…I can just see it happening) is that I feel like that’s the first thing everyone would think of. I also feel like others might…[Read more]

THE RESULTS ARE IN. Rillumen came out at the top with 39,179

A huuuge congratulations to them, because they did AMAZINGLY. And give yourselves a clap to. You guys threw yourself into it…[Read more]

HEY, if you mess with @jane-maree you’ll have to mess with me FIRST! *brandishes a simile bomb* Drop your weapons or don’t come any closer!

Wait, Ari has cookies?

@writercatherine YEAHH! I’ll bring the cookies! Every good rebellion needs cookies, right?

(Have fun on the mission trip, @j-a-penrose! )

@writercatherine Even a few words can make the difference that’s needed. 😉

@writercatherine My dear Catherine,

I was going to try write a very posh and official sounding comment, but then I spilled my tea all over my lap and it ruined the mood. 😂 Pardon me while I go build myself a fortress and gather arms just in case this turns into a war.

OKAY GUYS! Once it is Monday, stop writing, and submit your words on this thread. If you’ve edited, submit however many words you got, then say that that was editing. Good job guys!

I wrote 7284

KEEP IT UP GUYS!

Julia: No, they don’t count. D: Also, I’m going to have to check, because I gave you an answer off how I tend to do a word war, not specifically how this one is running… *shall work this out* *after a furious debate with the…[Read more]

@writercatherine Thanks, Catherine!

@writercatherine Rewriting and editing counts!

@evelyn Awww, oh well. Next time!

@writercatherine Haha, yep. I feel for you.

@coggleton Outlining is fine! ‘Character Chats’ are when a few writerly people get together online and work on developing their characters by putting them together in a situation and seeing what happens. This sort of thing:

Oh, aye- this guy wasn’t intended as the modern Twilight-esque vampire, nor to try and generate vampire fiction. The idea was that he’d be a roaming villain that would add flavor to the world at large; the vampire powers were just something that was incidental and was packaged into the idea as a whole, as if Dracula had taken up…[Read more]
