That's my bad! I didn't check through the forums to see who had posted. xD I'll remember that next week.

Meanwhile, inside his box, Evian decided to do something impossibly stupid.
- Pompadour

’I Love That Line’ Award

I surrendered, forgetting everything that had happened today, knowing all those things would come back tomorrow.
- Lightsong

Arjana was on his feet before the door hit the wall.
- @ScarlettFire

Delightful Description

When we enter, the girl rises gracefully, but I can tell she’s not fae. Her movements are too heavy, her steps too loud. Still, she slithers towards up, her almost-white hair braided onto her head like a crown.
- QueenOfHearts

His eyebrows furrowed together and it looked like had sucked in all the air from his cheeks.
- AdrianMoon

Week XVI Commences!

We’re still at TEN! :D This makes me extremely happy. When reading through your entries this week, it became so clear how many of you have improved leaps and bounds from your first chapters 15 weeks ago!! Read those first pages & give your selves a pat on the back.

This is making you all better writers. <3

Of course it is, that's why we're all here, right? This is a big old RPG, and those EXP points we're gettin' each week are DELICIOUS :D

Oh hey, I got another delightful description award, and again because pirates were there.
Neat :pirate3:

It is getting pretty exciting, isn't it! 3 weeks, and we remaining writers are still at ten! It's like a survival show <3

"WHO SHALL FALL? WHO SHALL REMAIN? FIND OUT, on the next episode of...


...THE LAST MAN STANDING."

Every saturday morning on Cartoon Network.

Jokes aside, thanks for so much encouragement by the way, you deserve many hugs for that :smt003

Outstanding Opening Line Award

Wila flopped around on the sand like a dying fish with the blank expression to match. “I’m bored.”
- EnderFlash

The train trundled along the track, past Wayshire and under hills, through tunnels and over bridges, crossing over a plateau and huffing and chuffing peacefully as the land undulated and the slopes relaxed.”
- Pompadour

’I Love That Line’ Award

Mellie groans and slumps in her seat, leaning her head back like an exasperated teenager.
- Buggiedude2340

Minerva once pointed out that Darren used too many absolutes, but after he dared her to observe Mr Van der Brunnen for a month, she admitted with much surprise that he had been right after all.
- AstralHunter

Delightful Description

It felt as if it could leap out of the page, bronze mane flowing out behind it, hooves glowing like the night.
- Falconer

It breathed fire and tore flesh from bone with vicious teeth and wicked claws.

I also think the lines this week are pretty astounding…

See you Sunday! ;)

Whoo, two loved lines in a row! :D

Great job to all my fellow participants for still being in this! This will be a hard-earned victory for (s)he who triumphs, but none of us seem willing to give in just yet - as it should be. ;)

I was going to end this with linking the song "Friday", but then I realized that today is Saturday. Anyway, since today is Saturday, you guys should write your chapters.
