Huzzah, Tysy for Prime Minister! Congrats!

 

Now hurry up and give us a new topic.

[Tysyacha]

All right, ED. Since it seems it's me FTW this time, I'm going to keep in step with machievelli's partial theme of "falling". However, "falling" has more than one meaning...

 

The theme I pick for the next Javyar's contest is (drumroll, please): "The Great Fall."

 

Otherwise known as "Steppin' to the Dark Side"! In real life, I've always wondered what makes people decide to break laws or do other dirty deeds. What will make your character experience his or her "Great Fall"? Explore his/her/its motives. Is s/he tempted towards this folly, or dead-set upon it from the very beginning? Will your character(s) deal with pangs of guilt and a penalty for their mistake? What kind?

 

Three weeks from now will be Sept. 5. Hope that'll be enough time, and I really hope you enjoy writing your stories for this late-summer installment of Javyar's Cantina!

 

Thank you for the votes, the comments, and support. Couldn't have won without you!

 

S bolshim uvazheniem (With greatest respect),

Tysyacha

Ah, I knew someone would pick this one eventually! Now if I can just stop procrastinating, I might actually get an entry in for once...

 

Ooooh, what to write, what to write, what to write!

I like this next topic and I think I will do better in this one. I'm not as good as writing humour/parodies.

 

Well done Tysy, you deserved to win, due to all your experience.

[Rogue Nine]

I think she won because her story was the funniest out of all of them.

[Diego Varen]

I think she won because her story was the funniest out of all of them.

 

That too, since she has had experience writing funny Fan Fics beforehand.

[Jae Onasi]

It's generally polite to just say "Congratulations!" instead of qualifying it, Topsite.

 

 

And, Congratulations to Tysyacha for her winning entry!
