Nicodemus:

Having trouble with this one now.  Gotta find a starting point somehow

Abecedar
Perhaps a pint of something would get things going?

Nicodemus
Yeah, blood works for me.

Nicodemus:

Can it be a Dwarf Weapon in the hands of a Chaos Dwarf?

Herby
Well, it's supposed to be a Chaos Dwarf weapon, although just about anything like that, once in the hands of a Chaos Dwarf would become a weapon of a Chaos Dwarf, so I don't see a problem drawing a line. No problem as far as I'm concerned!

Abecedar:

The “Pint” or two did wonders!! Have now found not one starting point but three or so.

Abecedar:

Hey Herby…sounds like you have now entered into the writers zone. Save it and expand it into a full blown story.

Oh and for artisans, you’ve got two weeks, try something else like say a limerick, I’m sure no one else will do one.

Thommy H:

One of the most useful skills a writer must learn is not being so enamoured of their own prose that they can’t ruthlessly prune it.

Chop it down to the limit any way you can. Learning to be economical with your writing is vastly underrated as an ability.

RTMaitreya:

I’m in. Sent PM but forgot message. Don’t dump it just because it says “no subject”, please. Thanks.

silentbob27:

Hardware
Don't be too sure about that :o

Abecedar:

I take it back, Limericks are harder than I thought but will keep trying though.

RTMaitreya:

There once was a dragon-like rabbit

A limerick he couldn’t quite write it

A story about

A weapon, no doubt

But he has no hands, dagnabit!

RTM

Abecedar:

Aaah!! RTM Got me.    And I have managed to write one, No Hands and All.

   The Hobgoblins Lot!!

The Dawi Zharr was grinning

His gait almost a skipping

The Hobgoblins all cringed

They thought him unhinged

And knew they’d be getting a whipping.

And also my entry is in.

cornixt:

Got mine in!

Obsidian Muse:

I had a frustrating case of writer’s block, but now I’ve finally finished my story and entered it.

Nicodemus:

Sounds like there is going to be lots of entries if the chatter in this thread is anything to go by. Of course there’s always a certain number of entries from folks who keep their involvement under wraps until the results are announced. Sounds like we’re really going to have our hands full with this one.

Nicodemus:

OK folks, down to the last few hours for this one… get your entries in while there’s still time!!

vulcanologist:

Any news on when the entries are being put up for voting?

Nicodemus:

Just got back in the country a few hours ago… will try to get to this over the weekend. Looked like a good number of entries!
