RPGC #10: The Moon!

Just for everybody's awareness, I'm gonna be out of town (and without reliable wi-fi access) for the next couple of weeks. The RPGC volunteer staff is basically pro at this point, and they can handle any issues that pop up while I'm away. I'll check in from time to time when I'm able, just direct any time-sensitive concerns to one of the staff (ie, @RomanAria, our champion of things)

What are you afraid of?

Whenever I'm getting a haircut I'm always worried that the scissors are either going to jam into my eye or nick off part of my ear.

RPGC #10: The Moon!

@Romanaria Just to be certain. Is the theme THE moon (as in our/the earth's moon) or simply a moon. Could I, for example, write a story about the second moon of Jupiter and still be considered relevant to the theme? :P

@Melo

The answer is 'yes.'

Wherever 'the moon' takes you, that's where you should go. Liberal interpretations are absolutely welcome.

PSA: cursive is dangerous

inb4 millennials start asking 'what's cursive?'

Just Three Words!

WAKE ME UP

@UnknownScarlet4

Flying alarm clock.

What do you think 4th dimensional beings are up to?

A blind monk traveled into a forest carrying a bag. In it, there were a thousand dry paintbrushes. One and only one of those brushes was magic -- it would leave a mark, even when dry, and the mark would never fade, never diminish over time. Its mark would last forever. The monk wandered in the forest for fifty years. Every day at noon, he would reach into his bag and select a brush at random, and with this brush, he would draw on the nearest tree. Blind, he had no concept of what mark he left, if any. He had no notion of where a mark, if one were ever made, would reside; no concept of how many marks were made, if any. No concept of their significance, their beauty, their ugliness. He knew only to wander, to sit, to paint.

After fifty years, he returned to his monastery. The monks there asked him, where have you gone? He replied that he did not know. They asked him, what have you done? He replied that he did not know. They asked him what have you learned? He told them nothing. His story was lost forever.

Centuries later, a princess was walking through the forest and she came upon a tree with a strange design written upon it. She leaned to her closest advisor and asked, "Who has put this mark here? For what purpose? And what does it mean?" The advisor replied, "Who indead?"

We are that mark.

@RomanAria We'll have to see what I come up with. ^.^;;

It's unfortunate there's not standard criteria voters should take into account for this, because that makes it very hard to aim to win in terms of votes.

@shylarah

We've played around with that before a few times, mixed results.... A pretty common comment during those contests was "Gosh, I like your story and wish I could vote for it, but the rules say I have to pick the best ______ instead, sorry."

The readers do a pretty good job of picking great entries, and my feeling is that voters don't need any help from the staff when it comes to picking a winner -- BUT this is a community contest, and we're adaptable. If we all want to try something like voting criteria in the future, that can always happen.
