  Those trophies are pretty sweet and fitting for the comp.  Good reads all around entrants!

The thread itself is a writing competition.  Good entries all around, and those Zork trophies are nice!

I saw this on Steam, I love the setting and look.  Congrats on releasing it!

Fun comp with a cool trophy and really good entries, and congrats to Rocchinator for Rocchinating this round!

Most difficult and cumbersome to use: funnyboy044

Most likely to injure the user: Roccinator

Most tacky design: DBoyWheeler

I'm way past the deadline...but whatevs!



Double-ended pointy wand and Nerf spatula

Design Concerns:
1. The hilt is the pointy end
2. The business end is a Nerf spatula
3. The wielder is compelled via embedded spell to hold the weapon by the razor sharp star
4. Betwixt both ends is a back massager

Your Lomin Series is pretty great, have you ever thought about having the stories published as some kind of anthology book?

This raises a good question, what becomes of everyone's entries post-comp? 

I stick my favorites up on shortnovella.com, and then my whopping 4.7 visitors per month apparently skim them for 6.74 (average) seconds before departing.  Still, I like the theory of putting my writing out there.

Best Character: Sinitrena's protagonist

Best Writing: Sinitrena
Most Thought Provoking: Mandle

  As you mention, repetitive environments and/or objects are a big one.  I also agree with Glenjamin that the "meet cute and instabang" is getting old in games.  Other big ones for me are fake doors, obstacles that aren't really that obstructing preventing me from going somewhere, and overly limited conversational choices when talking with characters.

Best Character Arc: Rocchinator, for Cedric
Best Setting/World: Baron
Best Writing/Style: SilverSpook  (I kept going back and forth between Mandle and SilverSpook on this one, not easy)

I'm glad to hear you returned to the game.  Good luck with the remaining development, and please track me down when/if you are in the market for a beta tester.

1st place, Blondebraid 


2nd place, Mandle 


3rd place, Frodo 


I've counted, recounted, and re-recounted some more...Congrats to Blondebraid for winning the comp!  And congrats to Mandle and Frodo for making the top three.  There were lots of entrants this go 'round, as well as lots of unconventional and awesome takes on the theme.  Good show FWC peeps!

Hosting duties are officially turned over to you, Blondebraid!

  Noted for future comps on the need for more votes per category when there are a lot of entrants.

  I'll leave voting open until Sunday.

I want to enter but... does 'the end' count towards the word limit?

Yes.

The deadline is tomorrow...Does anyone need another day or so?

  Rocchinator, can I borrow a horn?  With a few minor adjustments, your coloring ball trophy horns fit nicely for this round's FWC trophy.

  I know you have something rolling around in that pith helmeted noggin of yours. 

  When the deadline looms, I can grant a small extension...for a price.
