Hmm... A giveaway?
Run by solidbatman?
Do your worst, Bats. Do. Your. Worst.
Oh, but I wanna play ~! Count me in!
-
I don't have words.
I'm in shock.
Seriously though, all of you are amazing. There isn't much I can say that I haven't said in my letters. (of the non trash-talk kind) xD
This was such a fun, challenging experience, and I'm so happy to have spent it with all of you.
Congratulations to you all, because you're all winners in my book. <3
Thank you all so much for an excellent time. Looking forward to seeing and possibly being a part of more!

And one last thing-
El. Psy. Congroo.

So, I only linked the images and put the
real messages in spoiler tags in case people only wanted to search and read there own, and to try to tone this thing down because it's kinda huge.Because of the size and copy/pasting stuff, there's bound to be a mistake or two in there. Sorry~ xP
I also felt bad while writing some of the fake letters. Sorry about those lmao.

Dear fellow competitors,
It is with a heavy heart that I, Bizkitdoh, inform you of the passing of the Steins;Gate Limited Edition Giveaway thread.
Enclosed within this post lies my final entry, and above all, my final words to each and every one of you in regards to our journey here. Now, before I address you all individually, I must first speak to you as a whole.
For various reasons, whatever they may be...
We have gathered here.
Be it to one day hold a precious copy of Steins;Gate for oneself-
To partake in the joy of overcoming seemingly insurmountable hardships-
To meet with new or old friends and witness their wondrous creations-
... Or perhaps just to write stories,
We, have gathered here.
But, in the place where we have...
Admired one another...
Rivaled one another...
Supported one another...
This place... This place where we've...
Laughed, together...
Learned, together...
Both succeeded, and failed...
Together...
... We must bid farewell.
No matter the few words shared between each other individually, we all have shared this journey as a whole, and we must share its departure here, and now.
For this I, Bizkitdoh, thank you all. For you and I have all made this adventure possible, my fellow contestants. It has been both a blessing and a curse to be among such strong companions...
Now...
Let's send this son of a bitch off with a bang.
Or twenty.

Dear Nohman,
Please have your letter of resignation on my desk NO later than 11:59 PM, November 19th, 2013.
ANY later is simply UNACCEPTABLE!
Your Destroyer,
Bizkitdoh. <3
Proof of letter and actual message to competitor:
http://i.imgur.com/vaYUGCE.jpgWhat else can I say other than that there is no other more deserving of the top spot? I think your final posts, those messages, the song choice, all of it. I think it's a perfect example of just how good you are with these entries. This whole thing, this whole time, I just knew you were gonna take that spot! I'd gotten too cozy hahaha. Seriously though, just every single entry has this touch of pure class, wit- Really crafted by a genius. Awesome taste, awesome humor, all from and awesome contestant. Just like Kaguya and Ragnar, I've been impressed, motivated and fully accepting of defeat with many of your posts, just like theirs, but just on another level. What Damonkala noted in regards to intimidation- He hit the nail of the head. You're a king and a legend, mate. Keep being awesome and doing your thing in any contest, or, anywhere, really. You made this infinitely more fun and certainly more of a challenge, and you ended it as you began- In style.
Honored to be up here with you,
Wishing the best,
And above all-
Impressed,
Bizkitdoh.

Dear Bizkitdoh, AKA The Best,
Bizkitdoh.
Bizkitdoh, Bizkitdoh, Bizkitdoh...
I could NOT be more proud of your work. You really got me beat!
Perfect writing, perfect drawing... PERFECT EVERYTHING.
Your... Self,
Bizkitdoh.
Proof of letter and actual message to competitor:
http://i.imgur.com/LbOnoDq.jpgMe... I have but one question. How the hell are you here?!? You've done greater than I could have ever imagined. I'm really impressed and I wish you the best, of course, but man do you have some competition!!! I hope you had a good time. Take it easy, friend.
Yes, I just wrote that,
Bizkitdoh.

Dear Damonkala,
NINTENDO SUCKS!!
Not your Nintendawg,
Bizkitdoh.
Proof of letter and actual message to competitor:
http://i.imgur.com/2A91okW.jpgNintendo is awesome. Just wanted to say that first.
Damonkala. I don't even know what to say! Top dog! For sure! You're words are way too kind. And yeah, I'm garbage at singing. I really didn't want to do that, but, points. Your song was madly superior and had me dying! Your stories are something else too. Just like everyone else here, you are so deserving of being up top. You made it to the end, bud. The few and the proud, I hope. Everyone has their style, yourself included. I'm shocked to ranked up here with you and the rest of these fellas. Best of luck to you, and I hope to see more!
Your Nintendawg,
Bizkitdoh.

Dear SilvaChief,
Your blog is nice.
...
Try spending more time there.
With hatred,
Bizkitdoh.
Proof of letter and actual message to competitor:
http://i.imgur.com/bRzGQKO.jpgThat garbage trash talk of mine is such an easy way to express just how impossible it is to rag on you. I mean, everything you've put up has been gold, just like the rest. Each entry has never dissapointed and has always had a uniqueness- That SilvaChief twist. I may have had a lot of time for some challenges, but I also needed every second of it to be able to make something even close to as good as yours and others' posts. You've got class, friend, and your words are far too nice, although I thank you for feeling that way. I'm glad to have gotten to enjoy this whole thing with everyone, you included, and I hope to see more in the future. You know I'll be there!
With admiration,
Bizkitdoh.

Dear Schboomer,
Keep up the awesome work with-
RefrainSubs!
Actually a contestant,
Bizkitdoh.
Proof of letter and actual message to competitor:
http://i.imgur.com/EqYeBOn.jpgI'm new to the Fuwaland, so there's a decent amount I don't get in regards to relations and all, but man, it's been a blast reading literally all of your entries directed at batman. Pure comedy. I could say with ease that you deserve to be where you are on that scoreboard. Up at the top for sure. You played this thing exactly how you wanted to, not how bats wanted you to, and that's just too sick. You made it not only to the end, but up to the top! You stuck to your thing, and while Nohman may have nailed the wildcard thing- You did awesome, regardless of if you wanted to win or not. I think you had fun, and made it fun for all of us. Bravo, Schboomer. Bravo. I think I'd be right to say that most entrants should never be stressed and play it just like you did. Glad to have been here and I look forward to future... Anything! Thanks for making this an even richer experience for all involved.
Schboomer Supporter,
Bizkitdoh.

Dear Zakamutt,
An Ode to Zakamutt (not)
1.) Bizkitdoh is The Best - 45:26
2.) Zakamutt is not The Best - 00:12
Now that's talent,
Bizkitdoh.
Proof of letter and actual message to competitor:
http://i.imgur.com/MjHDqYi.jpgAnother top warrior for Steins;Gate, and certainly among the best of the best. You stuck around until the end, buddy! I hope to see some letters, too. This thing ain't over yet.
Bonus points for tearing up bats again!
Merely lucky to be among the best,
Bizkitdoh.

Dear Ragnar,
I'm really happy you got some, but not the actual bonus points for the drawing thing.
<3 Pencil FTW,
Bizkitdoh.
Proof of letter and actual message to competitor:
http://i.imgur.com/7egbqs1.jpgWhen I say I'm no artist, I mean it. In the time you had done your entry, I was still scribbling on paper. Seeing that post just sparked something in me though. That drawing was such a strong motivation, the start of everything, and had it not been for what you had done, I would not have done what I did. You- Set the bar, Ragnar -I can't really find words to describe how cool that is to me. There isn't a single person who saw that and didn't immediatly realize what a wonderful set of weeks were ahead. Weeks packed with true art. Your entries were pure quality, and I admire that a lot, and it drove me to do my best. So thank you. I hope to see you post more awesomeness in the future! You've got serious talent. I mean that.
Forever motivated,
Bizkitdoh.

Dear Imationer,
First attempt at writing a Fan-fiction, huh?

Not-Default Photooooo,
Bizkitdoh.
Proof of letter and actual message to competitor:
http://i.imgur.com/AzBYwme.jpgI've said many mean and untrue things today. This will not be one of them- Your entries were extremely well done. As good as any of ours. Glad to see you around for so long, sticking with everyone until the end. I think the quality of your posts shows~ I wish to see more in the future.
Honored,
Bizkitdoh.

Dear Kaguya,
Sad that you dropped, really.
I almost had some actual 'competition'.
(Almost...)
Still here to write this,
Bizkitdoh. (actually flubbed up writing this and was too lazy to redo it. It says, "Well... Sorta.")
Proof of letter and actual message to competitor:
http://i.imgur.com/GuYLRO6.jpgThe fact that I can't even write my own name is proof enough that the statement above is BS. I seriously was expecting you to win this thing!
I was really shocked when you dropped out. Your entries were top level for sure. I hope to see more!
Much respect,
Bizkitdoh.

Dear Zodai,
You were happy about the chances of getting to write...
Well... Your wish was granted. Totally... Granted....... (gibberish)
THANKS
AND you didn't even stick around.
It was all your fault,
Bizkitdoh.
Proof of letter and actual message to competitor:
http://i.imgur.com/jDuFlhI.jpgIt really is your fault...
Nah, I'm playing. We sure as hell got our writing assignments though! Wish you'd have taken part in all of them! I better see ya writing letters next time, buddy.
Written all I can write,

Lucky to be on time, if ever,
Bizkitdoh.

Dear Yukiru,
Your comeback was less than dramatic.
... On second thought...
Actually, it was kind of sad...
In a nonexistent kinda way.
Don't need no comeback,
Bizkitdoh.
Proof of letter and actual message to competitor:
http://i.imgur.com/fCnK2L9.jpgValiant effort! Honestly with these ghosts points, who knows, maybe you could have come back
Make it the whole way next time though and forget comebacks. ^^ You wouldn't be alone in all the challenge madness~
Sincerely,
Bizkitdoh.

Best wishes,

Proof of letter and actual message to competitor:
http://i.imgur.com/ZKdTi8K.jpgTroll letter aside, I have a lot of thanks to give you. Your actual liking of that drawing of mine really pushed me to keep going. It was a compliment I didn't deserve, but I didn't take it for granted, I swear. Really, thank you so much, and please stick around next contest if you enter!!
Forever thankful,
Bizkitdoh.

Apologies for the lame letter,

I hope you enjoyed it as much as we contestants did. We whine a lot, but I know we all had fun.
Actually knows where to get tights, but still lost on the leotards,

Really though, you all should have stuck around! You missed out! Even those of you who just posted to actually comment on the contest and not actually enter.
You just have to be solidbatman's puppet. It ain't so bad.
Good day to you all,
Bizkitdoh.

Last and totally least,
Dear Solidbatman,(please see attached image)
Nobody has to know,
Bizkitdoh.
Proof of letter and actual message to competitor:
http://i.imgur.com/CVOgvr3.jpgI know you're not a competitor, but I wanted to mention you anyways to at the very least add this joke. For real though, seriously impressive job running this thing and seeing it through. You had a lot on your plate going in, and well, luckily a lot of people dropped. xD Sure, we had to do a bunch of tasks, but you had to read all of them, and more. I don't know if I'd have been able to pick some winners some of these challenges. So many great entries for so many reasons.
Thank you, Bats. Maybe I'm crazy because everyone seems to play you out to be the villain, and hey, I don't know these fuwalands too well, so they could be right... But still, well done, man. Look forward to more for fun alone. And writing. (and prizes are good too. . .)
Your humble servant for one final day,
Bizkitdoh.

To conclude, seriously good show everyone!! This contest was so much fun, and while I did finally sign up because of this contest, I do plan to come by here from time to time and share the visual novel love.
Thank you all so much for any and all support, even though I still believe most entries to be far beyond my own in terms of real talent. I am truly baffled. Baffled, that I made it this far and did as well as I did. The post for the previous challenge does have some truth in it. I wish every single one of you the best of luck. Of course I'd love to win after all this, I mean I did put a ton of time into it- But we all did. There are no losers here posting today. There are no greater partners in battle. I look forward to seeing you all here and elsewhere for many days to come~
Fuwanoob and fellow die-hard competitor,
Bizkitdoh. <3
I can't beat Freddie, but... To play off one of my entries a little bit. . .
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKtRrNiBifo -
I've never been one to accept a challenge.
All my life I've never won any competitions, any raffles, events- You name it, and I've not done well in it.
So...
"Why now? Why try? To never be met with any success... And yet, you try this contest? Seven weeks of pure punishment along with this many people?"
"You must have a death wish."
.
.
.
Perhaps I do, but, allow me to explain.
I'm a loser, but I'm not a quitter. Maybe I've never won a single thing, but to lose a lot, I've had to have tried a lot too!
Act One: Humble Beginnings
Here I am.
I've joined the Fuwanovel forums and the fight for Steins;Gate.https://forums.fuwanovel.net/index.php?/topic/2139-steinsgate-limited-edition-giveaway/?p=36071
The first week serves it's purpose as my make my Fuwanovel account and post to enter, be placed upon the scoreboard, and meet those who I will be conversing with many days after the conclusion of this contest, I'm certain. I feel welcomed and enjoy the fun banter between other newer members and the veterans.
A simple challenge, yes, but there are more to come... This is only the beginning. I've got to be ready for anything!
Act Two: Who Could Have Been?
Week two.
I wasn't ready.
My alarm goes off in the morning, paired with the first reminder I'd need of the continuation of our path. I'd soon find it to be unnecessary as challenges passed by and the contest pushed it ways to the forefront of my mind.
A single post changed everything...
A single piece of artwork.https://forums.fuwanovel.net/index.php?/topic/2139-steinsgate-limited-edition-giveaway/?p=37189
A picture can speak a thousand words.
We must draw.
I now know just how much I'm going to put into this contest if I have any hopes of doing well. With this in mind, I act.
I gather multiple papers and numerous pencils with which to place my heart and soul into two dimensional shape. Countless hours pass. Time loses shape as my work takes it's place.https://forums.fuwanovel.net/index.php?/topic/2139-steinsgate-limited-edition-giveaway/?p=37385
At last, it's finished and posted. Now- They like it. They like it? They like it?!! My amazement in my own work and those who appreciate it is indescribable.
I'm blessed to receive the first set of bonus points and prepare for whatever comes next as the sole resident of the top of the list.
Act 3: A Storm Approaches
A week of challenges. One a day.
They fall like raindrops upon my head, running down my face and into my eyes... Polluted water, burning and obscuring my vision. When will it end? I know. I know when, where, but... I can no longer see it. The road ahead is long. I know this now.
Day one begins and we're told to choose an animation studio to tell the tale of our lives. I decided upon being somewhat silly with my choice, but I ended the entry on a serious note and stay as honest as other posts. I'm happy with my entry and get ready for the next day as best I can.https://forums.fuwanovel.net/index.php?/topic/2139-steinsgate-limited-edition-giveaway/?p=39019
Day two brings a new art form once more. Poetry- Another thing I have little to no experience with. After being blown away from what I read in the morning, I use the left over energy and motivation from my hard made drawing and work a full day yet again to make the best poem I can. Being locked as far as setting is concerned, I still retain the freedom to place my own themes and other characters of my own creation into my work. With this, I write my strongest, post, and ready myself once more.https://forums.fuwanovel.net/index.php?/topic/2139-steinsgate-limited-edition-giveaway/?p=39529
Day three comes with a new twist on the writing of a scenario. I take a unique approach once more and write something seemingly dark and end it off with pure humor. To add more to my entry I crudely place my stupid face upon multiple images with the fictional character of my choosing. The power of laughter, guide me!https://forums.fuwanovel.net/index.php?/topic/2139-steinsgate-limited-edition-giveaway/?p=39663
Day four is to write a meeting of our dream fictional character. I'm unable to ignore my wishes of seeing more of the lovely Christina! I mean, we are shooting for Steins;Gate...https://forums.fuwanovel.net/index.php?/topic/2139-steinsgate-limited-edition-giveaway/?p=39915
Day five. Bats is trying to ruin everyone with point deductions... This is getting dangerous. I take the easy way out and avoid his tricks entirely by posting no letters, no words, no images of words- Just images. Bring on the next challenge, Bats... Bring it on. I got your game figured out!!https://forums.fuwanovel.net/index.php?/topic/2139-steinsgate-limited-edition-giveaway/?p=40088
Day six. Post anything. Uhm... Jeez Batman, I said bring it...https://forums.fuwanovel.net/index.php?/topic/2139-steinsgate-limited-edition-giveaway/?p=40246
Day seven. The skies are clearing finally and we must write once more... Just... Write... Writing... It really takes it out of you, you know? I get a little lazy, but I do the challenge and take the day to rest for the most part.https://forums.fuwanovel.net/index.php?/topic/2139-steinsgate-limited-edition-giveaway/?p=40701
I'm falling apart. . .
Act Four: Music?!?!
Hey, it isn't stories for once, but this is embarrassing. I make a really garbage album with a ridiculous theme. The other posts are far better than my own, for sure.
Oh, and I sang... I don't want to talk about it.https://forums.fuwanovel.net/index.php?/topic/2139-steinsgate-limited-edition-giveaway/?p=40955
Act Five: Halloween Nightmare.
Near death.
I can't write anymore.
I can't.
But I write. I write damn well too. On a freaking phone on one bar, too.
The fan fiction is about characters we choose, and I for one don't want to ruin perfectly written characters by their writers. So what do I do? VOICELESS CHARACTERS.
Less writing for me. Gotcha, Batman. Mwuahahahaha!!https://forums.fuwanovel.net/index.php?/topic/2139-steinsgate-limited-edition-giveaway/?p=42370
I'm coming undone.
Act Six: Sold.
We're demande-... Asked to write a sales pitch filled with complete bullshit. So I bullshitted. With writing. Words. Wording... Grammar... Lettterdnajpeiuphttps://forums.fuwanovel.net/index.php?/topic/2139-steinsgate-limited-edition-giveaway/?p=43615
Act Seven: Doom. Death. Sadness.
Another week of writing, simple challenges, and writing.
The home stretch. I'm ready to wrap this up. I find the energy I've got left deep down inside and start knocking 'em one by one, day by day, with no chance of ever knowing how hard or not hard to work or how well we're doing or bad we're doing because we can't see the points anymore, and we can also lose points and not know how we can or will or did lose them.
I'll let that sink in.
We're asked to pick our favorite challenge and I choose the drawing I made and explain the choice. We write a story... Write... Story... We're given specific rules to follow and that we may lose points. I take the gamble and write something weird.https://forums.fuwanovel.net/index.php?/topic/2139-steinsgate-limited-edition-giveaway/?p=45077
Batman thinks he's sneaky and does some hidden text thingy so we have to PM him for points. That was actually pretty cool. We also answered questions about the contest. I gave some solid answers.
https://forums.fuwanovel.net/index.php?/topic/2139-steinsgate-limited-edition-giveaway/?p=45435
Then we're told to do the favorite challenge we chose day one again.
I chose the one I chose because it was really hard.
FML.
But I do it.https://forums.fuwanovel.net/index.php?/topic/2139-steinsgate-limited-edition-giveaway/?p=45703
Then, we're asked to write a story in regards to this contest. So I start...
"I've never been one to accept a challenge.
All my life I've never won any competitions, any raffles, events- You name it, and I've not done well in it.
So...
"Why now? Why try? To never be met with any success... And yet, you try /this/ contest? Seven weeks of pure punishment along with this many people?"
"You must have a death wish."
.
.

Perhaps I do, but, allow me to explain.
I'm a loser, but I'm not a quitter. Maybe I've never won a single thing, but to lose a lot, I've had to have tried a lot too!
Act One: Humble Beginnings
Here I am.
I've joined the Fuwanovel forums and the fight for Steins;Gate.
The first week serves it's purpose as my make my Fuwanovel account and post to enter, be placed upon the scoreboard, and meet those who I will be conve-"You get the idea.
And, well, here we are. This story isn't finished. What the future brings... We'll never know here. It cannot be written here. Will Bizkitdoh survive?!? Stay tuned for more at https://forums.fuwanovel.net/index.php?/topic/2139-steinsgate-limited-edition-giveaway/ ! -
I must apologize for this one not being anywhere near as good as the first (to me).
Had less time and spent less time working on it. :x
Slightly different approach (also more simple lol)
Scenario: Inevitably deemed a pervert by Hachikuji- Batman, unable to just leave her alone, proceeds to be her protector in a less detectable but far creepier fashion.
-
1) Why did you enter this contest: I entered after having followed you on Twitter beforehand and seeing a buddy mention the awesomeness of the contest later on (Don't know why he hadn't entered.). I had assumed it would be a raffle or something and didn't aim to try, but when I read up on how it was going to be run, I actually got pretty excited. Regardless of the outcome, I wanted in on the fun. I never get the chance to be a part of any kind of cool content creation thing, contest or not, so I signed up.
2) Would you have put in as much effort if it was only a digital prize: I might not have. It depended on the prize, yeah. For example- This site has a lot of VNs on it, of course, Steins;Gate included, which I have read, but with how much I loved the VN, actually having it physically would be absolutely incredible to me. If it had been for a digital Steins;Gate, I may have not been as motivated, but if it was a digital copy of something that isn't available to me, then yes, absolutely I'd be motivated. That was of course then and not now though, having participated in the contest that view has changed some, which I'll get into in the next question.
3) In the future, would you want to see more long term contests, or short term? Digital prizes, or physical?: This is kind of hard to answer, but I'd think slightly shorter term, but with about as many challenges. Like maybe 2 a week for half the length or something. I like some stress and I like tight time windows and working under pressure or against the clock. As far as prizes go- Whatever you want. The contest was so fun to me that I'd do it for anything, really. The challenges and the friendly competition is so fun, and everyone gets to put up awesome stuff. I will say that getting people motivated to sign up and do it, physical stuff is more appealing, but for previous contestants, I don't think it'd be hard to get us to enter and try and win.
In the end- I'd say do what's most comfortable for you. Above all.
-
Also, I did find you.
-
Hopefully that isn't too annoying to read :x
I think most people will see what I did. Lol.
-
Alone in a world with no hope of finding another.
Barren plains of nothingness as far as the eye can see.
Clinging to that hopelessness, I push forward with the dream of defeating it.
Dedication towards crushing this forced lonesomeness keeps me moving.
Each and every muscle aches with another step, but the sharp pain merely strengthens my resolve.
Feeling my body shriek, knowing it's pressed beyond it's limitations, I walk on.
Grieving over my dire situation is pointless, honestly.
Holding on to any weaknesses will only end this life sooner.
I can't recall what exactly happened to send me here or leave me as a sole survivor in this place.
Just, waking up alone took it's toll on me that first day, being that the shock was the hardest part to handle.
Keeping myself moving seems to be the best medication, and it's the best way to ensure survival, what with having to gather supplies and all.
Life on the road is all I have now, and it wouldn't seem so bad to the normal person, but when you don't have working vehicles, walks between these towns are much farther than you'd think.
Musing on my mental health and situation aside, I've arrived at yet another small village.
"Not a soul in sight," I think to myself, as I repeat this scenario I've been through countless times.
Observing the village, I spot what appears to be an Inn of some sort.
Peeking inside the hotel in this town is probably a good idea, seeing as they've been good spots for various supplies ranging from non-perishables to clothes, as you would expect to find in a place where people travel to and from.
Quickly making my way to the back of the building I find a rusty old door that gives me some trouble, but I'm strong enough and I make it inside with some effort.
Roaming in with ease, I head to the left behind the counter into what seems to be the kitchen and start carefully searching through pantries looking for bags of anything I can manage to carry, really, seeing as I'm not too muscular.
Seeing as this is an Inn, I start checking each door on the left down this hall in hopes that some may be unlocked, but am met with little success.
The bag I have seems to be reaching its limit, so I decide it'll be enough and head to the back and find this rusted old fire door that would probably have been impossible for me to open from inside.
Up at the front desk I find a few keys hung up on the opposite side of the lobby towards to kitchen and let out a sigh a relief and decide I'll most likely rest here for the night.
Vagrant as I am, this place doesn't feel all too comfortable, honestly, especially with that nasty door being open permanently for someone like me, so it's probably best I search for a more secure building to spend the night in.
Walking into the kitchen, I find it surprisingly enough to be mostly empty...
Xenia is a practice not followed in this land as of now, at least for me, so I'd think that wiping places clean of supplies for ones self is reasonable, at least, I hope that's the case...
Your own needs is all you really think about when you're left believing you may be the only person left in the world, so the idea of there being another person out there is both a blessing and a curse when you think too much of limited supplies in an area and not knowing of each others existence, paired with how much better existence would be with another if you did know of them.
Zeroing back on reality, I move to look for a place to rest and pray to soon share this life I'm lucky to still hold on to day to day with another, I mean, there has to be someone out there, right?

I'd have to say my favorite challenge would have to be week two. The drawings. That challenge really pushed my mental barriers, which is something I absolutely love, being into psychology and what-not.
Going into it I'd felt so defeated having seen Ragnar's entry, but, I went in with a ton of hours, papers and pencils and came out with something that I can say surprised me more than anyone else. I could say something similar about the other challenge weeks, but that week took extra effort with having to think out a scenario and create it without words. I felt more comfortable with other challenges, being that I've written much more than I've ever even dreamed of drawing.
-
Being the human being that I am, I'll have to decline this specific challenge.
As a game player, I understand how fun could it be. As a game developer (not that I am professionally), I personally find insulting the challenge proposed. One invests time and money developing a game, overcoming obstacles, debugging and refactoring, and wants to see his effort rewarded, not mocked and made fun of.
I hope someone understands my point, and sorry if I'm spoiling the party.
It's cool to have your opinion and all, but it's really meant to just be fun. Not much more I can say that hasn't been said.
But as a bonus, Superman 64 devs very much so knew about and admit to their game being very, very poor. It's a pretty interesting tale, actually. ^^
-
Oh god... I remember this game vividly. Triggering some PTSD episodes man.
Not sure how good or bad that is for me.
Probably bad.
But okay lol

A loud night.
An oddly boisterous night.
But, no, it is not odd.
A... Halloween night.
And yet... Somehow quiet.
A plain home sits in it's usual place, yet it seems to be moving. Lights. Sounds. People... So many things that make such an ordinary living space seemingly unordinary. Yet, at this time, it's unusual to remain as usual.
Halloween night is here.
5 individuals walk along the plain concrete pathway made a mess by neatly organized and patterned cobwebs making for an unnatural and somewhat humorous sight. Caution tape seals the walkers into a tight hallway (and cleverly off the neat lawn) all the way up to the door of the home in it's cheap yet acceptable costume of it's own.
A knock on the door and a ring of the bell is heard inside, but entirely drowned out outdoors as another track of poorly recorded 'scary atmosphere' plays from a concealed speaker. Graveyards make sounds, right?
But... Something is missing. A certain noise among the chaos that's repeated so often you'd most likely stop hearing it anyhow. I wonder why that is?
The door opens and the homeowner greets our crowd one by one as they drop a handful of assorted simple candies into each and every bag so systematically, even they don't notice the silence. Why so quiet?!
The first guest. A small person with a moustache so ludicrous is must be a fake. So round too, kid must have something tucked into the belly of those silly overalls. He somehow managed to hold up his bag with those mitten like hands and got his candy, proceeding to hop off down the walkway.
Our second guest then approaches the door, also silent. All the man at the door sees is... Green? Green. A young boy... Yet... The eyes of someone much wiser. A boy- no. A man, who has seen many things. Many perils... But what? He takes his candy and turn away. (A... Sword?) Is that- no. It must be fake.
The third guest... What is... Another child. A boy? A girl? The man can't see... Cannot tell... A ghost perhaps? But it's so short and long. Like a dog almost. A bag rests upon it's head. He drops the candy and it walks away... Or did it... (Hover?!) Ah. It's too dark, must be his eyes playing tricks. That's silly, no legs. Ha! Next guest!
A fourth visitor approaches. What now... Is that a... Monkey? Wait... Why is a monkey strange. Haha.. Ha.. None of this is strange, goodness. A kid in a monkey suit. The man hands the kid his candy... Man... He's a strong looking kid. He's huge- aw it's just the suit. Last one!
Number five... Wait... Where... There were five bu-
It's a fairy. A real fairy! Almost. Elf like? Green. Tiny. Tiny! How is she so small?! She's FLYING! Our house owner seems shocked. He should be. Tinkerbell is real, after all. Halloween is a great time for these 'fictional' characters to get some sweets and hang out!
Shame none of them can really speak, or speak much at all...
I mean, come on. Not a single one said trick or treat!
Mario.
Link.
Zero. (Nightmare Before Christmas)
Donkey Kong.
Tinkerbell!
Happy Halloween! (I had to write all of this on my phone :'( )

Bizkit- "I really want to win a copy of Steins;Gate" -Doh.
Bringing you his debut album:
Hopes for No Tropes
1. Let's Watch Anime. - The worst feeling. Wanting to get someone into anime and watch it with you, but you end up watching all alone with nobody to talk about it with. A sad song, a cry for help! ;-;
2. Clad in Plot Armor. - Story is really good and just plain epic, then the 'protag' dies and it's epic... And is magically revived... Or the villains all magically don't know how to properly use weaponry. This is a song of frustration with bad writing.
3. Beach Episode. - A peaceful break from any plot. Even in the most serious of stories. A relaxing song.
4. Moe Mondays. - A poppy turn off the relaxing song before it. Admiration of and a dedication to the cutest of the cute.
5. The Back Left Window Seat. - Throne of any MC. The message? Everyone has their place. A role. For heroes and harem kings? The back left desk.
6. The VN Was Better. - A melancholic tune. That feeling of getting to enjoy what you love in a different way, but not without feeling slightly disappointed by it being at all lackluster, if it is. Nobody is at fault, either.
7. Rotoscope? Rotonope. - A somewhat biased song. Punky. Defiant. Non-acceptance of a lazy and uninteresting art choice.
8. Backlog Blues. - Stress. The weight of a hundred shows you've put off and knowing you have no choice but to hold multiple marathons.
9. Natural Born Pilot. - The idea of a training sequence of an actual military member in some mecha is insane. Some kid happened across a robot through some random means and it just so turns out they're a beast. Don't ask questions.
10. Find Out on the Next Episode. - Just when it's getting good, you've got to wait a week. In this case- You loved this album so much, but it's over. Hear more on the next album~
21. (Bonus Track) Lolipalooza. - This track had to be hidden. Found if you wait 21 minutes after having the album play on repeat 21 times without stopping. Guest singers: Every Loli ever. It's seriously too cute to be legal.So here's the cover stuff and the lyrics to my song. The song is stuck in Youtube processing hell, so it'll be up eventually.

Lyrics: Let's Watch Anime (Based on The Grace by Neverending White Lights)
With anime I've been known to suffer,
I sit and watch but without another.
Would you watch it with me?
It's a simple question, now.
You can do that, surely.
Come on and I'll show you how.
There's a lot to choose, so many to try.
I own them all so there's nothing to buy.
Go on and pick one out,
Anything you pick will do.
They're all amazing, no doubt.
I can't wait to see them with you.
Come watch anime with me, this time it was meant to be
To watch it alone is wrong, so hurry and come along.
I'll... I'll force you to,
We'll watch Clannad.
There's no excuse.
And I'll- I'll force you to!
How about Gurren Lagann?
There's no excuse.
They always say great things come with time,
It's just some filler, come on, don't you whine.
Hey, where are you going?
That's only 10 episodes down.
What do you mean it's boring?
It gets better, I swear.
Come watch anime with me, this time it was meant to be
To watch it alone is wrong, so hurry and come along.
I'll... I'll force you to,
We'll watch Clannad.
There's no excuse.
And I'll- I'll force you to!
How about Gurren Lagann?
There's no excuse.
Alone... I don't wanna watch alone -
For goodness sake, Batman! I have exams I need to study for >.< Do you know how long it took me to edit out my breathing in between singing lines? Like 5 minutes! Ugh...
As a side note, I wonder who will understand all of the references?

Insert Batman into your favorite story. What changes? How much does he affect the ending? Are you the worst fanfic writer ever? Can you tell I'm running out of ideas?
My favorite story...
So for this one, I'm going to roll with the Moonlight Bay series by Dean Koontz. (Fear Nothing, Seize the Night, the still not written Ride the Storm)
If Batman managed to wander into this series, I think the power of cold hard cash and tech would change it quite a bit.
First of all, Christopher Snow has Xeroderma Pigmentosum, basically dude can't go into the light. I'm positive his buddy Batman would whip up some super baller suit to protect Chris' sensitive skin, letting travel during daylight be possible, thus progressing the story much faster.
If that alone doesn't end the story in one novel, as opposed to three, then the fact that he's freaking batman and would simply pursue the mystery of the town without any worries, coming to the conclusion that the evil monkeys are chilling out by the military base and going straight in without any doubts and fighting any that get in his way, will.
Those events passing by that much quicker, the third novel wouldn't even need to be written and Batman would actually let the ending happen. That's a pretty big change.
The tense situations Chris gets into, putting his life in danger, having to sneak around everywhere... Yeah, Batman doesn't need any of that, he'd turn it into a pure action story and answer every question so fast, the Scooby Doo crew would just stick to their day jobs waiting for Batman to visit their universe.
TL;DR ~
What changes? - Pretty much the entire mood of the story.
How much does he affect the ending? - The ending actually happens.
Are you the worst fanfic writer ever? - Perhaps.
Can you tell I'm running out of ideas? - See previous answer.

You guys are amazing.

Damn, too fast! Now that it's come to this, I'll have to go with Faris, huh.
Oh no! I'm sorry xD Faris Nyannyan is pretty amazing though~
I had thought up a few but they all felt a bit too complex or hard to make. Not going to have time to write or think much for the rest of the day so I had to act quick. xP

I ended up having a lot of fun with this:
Week 3 - Challenge 4:
The Stray Sheep
The door closed behind me, the weight of which was like a period at the end of a sentence.
My working day and its routine were now over, put away and well-kept outside of these bar doors. Now I was to begin a night of excess, the tone of which would be decided by the company I had yet to find. Perhaps I’d find a couple of good-ole boys and we’d happily drink the night away. Maybe all that awaited me tonight would be sad-saps and deadbeats, the kind of company that that either results in self-loathing or – even worse – a misplaced sense of superiority and misanthropy. Maybe the only company I’d find is myself.
That would be the worst of all.
I was greeted by the stale smell of smoke and the uninterested eyes of people looking to trade the humdrum of their daily lives for a night that will most likely blend together with other nights. My kind of the people. The people who can feel terribly alone even when surrounded by like-minded souls suffering in equal measures.
I made my way to the bar’s counter, making a note of all the fresh faces and contemplating which might make for the best company and who might be receptive to my advances. Perhaps tonight I’d get lucky and I’d trade dulling my senses for the awkward fumbling and meaningless kind of companionship a woman could offer.
The barman greeted me, lightly raising a hand in salutation while the other polished the bar top. This was a ritual carried out every night. Funnily enough, in spite of coming here for the better portion of a year, I’d never learned the bartender’s name. It was better that way. Like a priest, he was a confessor. It might sound stupid, but I needed a degree of anonymity was if I wanted to feel like I had some dignity left to lose.
To me, he was simply Boss.
“Give me chocolate milk, go heavy on the syrup.”
He gave me a light nod in affirmation. Boss’s gestures were always so light, so deliberate. Nothing was wasted. He was like a goddamn monk. He was –
Something caught my eye.
Someone caught my eye.
A woman caught my eye.
She had gotten up to leave from her table on the far side of the room. I was baffled as to how I didn’t notice her immediately. She had a pull, not unlike any other beautiful woman. Yet there was something more to it, though – something unplaceable. Strangest of all, I seemed to be the only one entranced. As if this was a personal siren’s song, dedicated only to me.
Before I could even process and rationalize the strange hold her presence had over me, my body knew it had to act. I sprung forward, making my way to the doors that that punctuated the beginning and end of my every night. Tonight it would act as a question mark.
I watched her approach. She stepped lightly, each clack of her heels stirring in me a peculiar mix of excitement and apprehension. After all, this could only end in two ways: I’d earn her assent or be rejected. Truthfully, I don’t know which would be better.
I took in her profile as she approached.
A white sundress emphasized her girlish figure.
A red ribbon was wrapped tightly around her waist, as if to serve as a suggestion.
What followed with her was a seductive, coquettish air. Inescapable, palpable, suffocating.
Her golden hair was arranged in short twin tails.
Her blue eyes betrayed the seductive way she carried herself.
She stopped in front of me, eyes alight. I had no doubt she knew my intention. A small tilt of her head forward and a slight of her lip gave me the go ahead.
This was my chance, I had bring out my best line. My very best line:
“If I flip a coin, what are my chances of getting head?”

Sooooo good. O___________O
