My gosh that was painful... Here's to hoping the rest of these will flow with the story I just started... cuz that whole one-shot thing... totally didn't work for me

Descent Into Darkness
He'd taken everything from her. Her very life was his to shape as he saw fit. She would retaliate by taking his heart. It began the way all things begin, with a girl- after all, wars could be started over less.
Rating: MA. No YIMs.

Now, if you'll excuse me, it's 6am and I need sleep. >_>

02- Content Rated M.

Ugh X.X

PS: Do you use Photoshop for the banners? If not, what do you use?

And Rin-Rin pulls ahead! Here's your next prompt, dear!



As for the banners, I used GIMP for the background and then a free online photo editor called PicMonkey for the text and effects. I would use Photoshop if I had the money to pay for it, but GIMP is free and does pretty much the same thing, and since I'm not a hardcore artist or anything, I'm fine with it. *shrug*

Did it? I think you're still on #2, yes? I can see it when I go back through the posts, but I also changed some things around in my photobucket album, so maybe the link broke...I'll go re-input the link again and see if that fixes it.

EDIT: There, I changed the link, can you see it now?

Number 3 says it was moved or deleted.

And thinks for telling me what you use, really helps.

Rin-Rin is on a roll!

My other contestants haven't disappeared, have they...? If any of you need help with how, exactly, you're going to get all aspects of your prompts into your stories, you can read Rin-Rin's entries - she's done a great job so far and I'm sure she'd love more reviews as well!

No, we haven't. At least I haven't. I'll be done with my story later today. I actually wanted to finish yesterday but got delayed when I accidentally killed my external hard drive, which had the only copy of this story . Luckily my data survived and I'll be finishing when I get home from work.

Quick question m'dear. Because I want to incorporate as many of these as I can into my new story:

For the theme, does it need to be present throughout the entire chapter? Or can I focus one distinct section on the theme, and leave it to be vague throughout the rest. O.o

Apologies for the late response - I got caught up in Merlin, which apparently decided to commandeer my soul for a few hours

Anyway, you can use the theme in any way you like. If it only fits in a certain section and has to be vague elsewhere, that's perfectly fine, so long as you use it.

Hope that makes things easier on you!

Darn it! Oh, wait, did it disappear from the forum or from your page? I'm fairly positive that I changed all of the links...Well at any rate, I'll be sure to go through and be sure that they're all changed, and you can re-collect your banner if you need to. <-- that goes for everyone, btw. I moved the banners into a folder on my photobucket album, so you may need to re-download your banners. Sorry about that!

EDIT: I'd forgotten to change your link somehow, Blue. Sorry! It's fixed now though!

Ha! That entry was abso-freaking-lutely ridiculous, and I mean that in the best possible way, to be quite honest. Here's your next prompt, dear!

Great job, Sakura! Here's your next prompt!



Alright guys, here are the placements so far:

First Place: Rin-Rin, with four entries completed

Second Place:
Lady Kirara and Sakura Dragon, with one entry apiece

Third Place: LM Bluejay and Aleksandra, with nothing completed as of yet

You guys can still catch up with Rin-Rin if you write really fast! Like seriously fast lol, she's on a roll!

~Aubrey


p.s. - can you guys put entry numbers with your posts so I don't get too confused with what number you're getting next? it'll make things easier on me!

Aubrey, scientist really? Why a scientist? And yeah, the theme was done to the best of my ability but that was hard.

Hey guys!

I'm currently in the car on my way to Ohio, so once I get access to the internet again (my phone works, but I'd prefer my laptop) I'll review the recent entries and then post the next prompts.
