I'm suffering from multiplenovelschlorosis, soooo I don't think I'll be able to get the chapter done. :/ That, and I'm in the middle of writing a song with someone, so my free time has been absorbed from too many angles.

Going rogue or out, whichever~

Outstanding Opening Line Award

Someone tapped Analia on the shoulder, jolting her back to reality.
- Meandbooks

’I Love That Line’ Award

It was then that a bright red flame burst into the sky over the waterfront, causing the entire group to turn and look.
- Messenger

Spirals of runes covered the sky over the southern most point of the Realm. It glittered against her senses and felt strongly of that man’s magick.
- Soulkana

Most Accomplished Challenger

ScarlettFire

Most Vivid Description

Evian could feel his heart throbbing in his chest, the sweat gathering along his hairline. Simon snored loudly in the corner, his flabby face firmly planted on his desk. Luin’s face was contorted with rage and the Office was lit up with colours, spectacular blazes of whites and yellows and blues.
- Pompadour


Week VIII Commences!

WHAT CARNAGE. I’m sad about those who have fallen but my support has doubled for those warriors still charging onwards!

Outstanding Opening Line Award

My mother’s fingers drummed against the counter as her stare bore into me.
- SpiritedWolfe

’I Love That Line’ Award

Her worn hands would envelop mine and her eyes would look so sad.
- AdrianMoon

He coughed, the dust triggering his allergies as he waddled over to his backpack grabbing the flashlight.
- Tuesday

Most Accomplished Challenger

AstralHunter

Delightful Description

His shock of hair was dyed purple, but you could see the bright white, silky strands forcing their way through, forming a fringe.
- IronSpark

It was decorated with a dark teal and white stripes, with a tail-like structure sticking out of its rear parts, from which puffs of smokes were released in the air.
- Tortwag


Week IX Commences!

Another 3 bite the dust! I’m rooting for you warriors. Don’t let the number of rogues creep up past the number of warriors! WE BELIEVE IN YOU.

My chapter is unedited and incomplete. How the heck did I manage to get another award.
*accepts the fact without question*

Well thanks for anyone that read through the ugliest chapter I ever produced, lol. I'll be sure to edit it properly today.

And... Good lord, we lost 3 more people! RIP everyone D:

Outstanding Opening Line Award

My mother’s fingers drummed against the counter as her stare bore into me.
- AdrianMoon

’I Love That Line’ Award

Whispering around the corner came the image of love: a woman, swirled into a long warm coat and long, greying hair. Her mother had come. Behind her was her father, hands shoved deep into his coat pockets, lines of worry etched into his face.
- Falconer

he frowned- although it was more a gesture of self-chiding than external dislike- before smiling.
- EnderFlash

Most Accomplished Challenger

Lightsong

Delightful Description

The hallway was lit dimly with lyte-fixtures—it would be madness to have torches in a building made largely of wood—and the harsh shadows sweeping across the room looked even more menacing in the low light.
- Pompadour

The leopard print woman takes advantage of the free seats right away, crossing her arms and collapsing onto the cushions
- Buggiedude2340


Week X Commences!

14 warriors remain. Will they ride on in their separate adventures or will they succumb to the league of the Rogues? Time will tell.

Thank you for the prize!

Although, it's supposed to be "she", not "he" :P I think the quote missed the 's'.

Also, I guess this means to read more classics and learn more from that way of writing. To the library!
