As long as we can have relatively long deadlines, then count me in.

Time for a true display of amateur writing!
Let's try our best and get eliminated the first round!

You should PM Devour and Capt. Cook or something because they might be interested in a non-wRHG event for once.

and lol why is Romance R5. I think it should be the last; I doubt anyone can write a decent Romance given the target audience


I see you currently have 8 people in your OP. add the last 3 up there and that makes 11. If you can get 3 more, I'll join so you can have a clean 16-person tourney

They're 9 Hew. The two up there I've asked to reconfirm their status since some of them said maybe.

Only GT is the new one. PMing Devour and Cap.

I'm down! Leggo!

Another question though, and please don't bite my head off Dx, but I was just wondering if we're posting our characters here once the OP is completely fleshed out, or does it not matter when we post it so long as it's up before the tourney actually begins?

No.

You will have to introduce the characters to us via storytelling. No sheets. Some may opt to use different characters per round anyway, so making sheets will just clutter up the thread.

Ayy, thanks for the PM! This looks sweet. Count me in.

For those wondering, the problem with using old wRHG characters is that they're usually written as if the reader already knows the character's backstory and previous experiences. Anyone who hasn't followed their entire story line usually gets confused and/or alienated when this happens. Not to mention, learning character development and thinking new ideas is a powerful thing to practice.

Waiting for Cook, Cruel, Malacal and Aquila. I'll ask Delor and others on Skype.

Yet to reconfirm: Chromium, roBEAT, devi and Richard.

Updated with a tiny FAQ. We have 12 contestants atm.

Here's a question: Are the prompts going to be given individually? Like for example, for the Sci-Fi category one person would get steampunk and the other would get 50's retro.

I'm thinking of setting them as challenges instead for each participant. Bonus points if they achieve it. We are 12, I doubt we'd have enough subgenres from each main genre.
