BREAKING NEWS: CLEAR SIGHTS IS A FATASS

HE'S OBSESSED WITH HUGE DUDES IN POWER ARMOR BECAUSE HE'S TOO MORBIDLY OBESE TO STAND WITHOUT ASSISTANCE

HE STOPPED UPDATING BECAUSE HIS FINGERS FINALLY GOT TOO FAT TO TYPE ON A FULL-SIZE KEYBOARD

HIS GIRLFRIEND LEFT HIM BECAUSE HIS PUNY PECKER NO LONGER REACHES PAST THE OCEAN OF FLAB

HIS FAMILY TRIED TO HELP HIM BUT THEY COULDN'T FIT HIM OUT THE DOOR

WHEN THEY GAVE UP HE FELL OVER AND TRIGGERED A MAGNITUDE SEVEN ON THE RICHTER SCALE

THE ENTIRE CITY FELL INTO THE RESULTING CRATER AND BURIED HIM ALIVE

HOPEFULLY STARVATION SHOULD TRIM HIM DOWN TO SIZE SOMETIME IN THE NEXT DECADE OR SO

You could make it about Doyou's retarded squad mate or something. That way your self proclaimed unfunniness can actually be worked into the characters actions towards him as he slurs his slurs.

raaaaaage

Not the guy requesting help, but I took your idea and ran with it. Hope you don't mind.

No one has had any need for this thread in a while, since we're lacking in newblood around here.
Nevertheless, I found two videos I think everyone here could benefit from watching.

The short of the long, it's how well defined the rules for your magic is. Both have their advantages and disadvantages, but in a setting like Touhou, I feel it's definitely worth it to give these a watch.

>>23912

Thanks. That actually was pretty helpful, as I'm writing a story involving learning magic.

Well done sir. The urge to craft a scathing response involving the lack of Age of Consent laws in Gensokyo is, indeed, very close to consuming my soul. I tip my silly hat to you.

>>23900
You know it would be answered by morality-based complaints (not without an implication that laws are the only thing stopping you from being a criminal) and you would answer by arguing the intelligence, maturity and actual age of the characters, which would be answered by calling out exceptions, which would be answered by you qualifying them as exceptions and so on and so forth.

It's an endless recursion of arguments.

>>23901


Acktualy, I would counter any morality based argument by saying the laws governing Age of Consent is basically the subjectuve aggregate of the community's opinion on the morality of the subject, which is why they vary wildly. Thus there's no moral, legal, or logical ground to stand on for opposing the MC/Rumia OTP.

>>23855
Hmm, odd. I've never seen that screen before.

>>23856
The only time I’ve seen that screen is when I was using Tor to get around an IP ban.

That sounds like a Naruto quote. Speaking of Naruto, I'm kinda surprised we made it this far without a cringy crossover story.

Because people who have already written things in part would then be angrier than the minorly peeved over this issue. The fact of the matter is, it's a seasonal contest simply because Christmas is too selective for those that don't celebrate it, and strangles creativity. It's also too late in the month to do such a contest, as then it would end on the 25th. This is meant to be a baseline, where as future years are meant to be alterations to the formula.

If I changed it, it would also defeat the purpose of the contest to begin with, and that is to test the waters. One cannot learn without trial and error, and if this is in error I need to first confirm that it is as such. Others have voiced an interest in the contest. That's plenty enough reason to keep it the way it is, as spitting on their hard work will hardly be according to plan.

Furthermore, the fact that a winter contest was held some time in the past doesn't simply invalidate the idea. At the least, it happened a year ago. There are new touhous, new canon, new possibilities. Touhou isn't a static series of just one game. There was a new game announced recently, even.

Plus, if one thinks that all there is to winter is Letty pairings, they need to be more creative. I've already listed some of those possibilities. There is more to a story than waifus, after all. Hibernation for insects and a certain eyeball thing is a topic that can be broached. The harsh Winter months can be trying on one's coffers, and threadbare linens are far from suitable to keep out the cold. Winter is a thing of death, where as Autumn is dying, Summer is life and Spring is birth. If all goes well, I'll take your words into consideration in Spring, but as of right now they will simply muddle my intentions of establishing something to judge the state and opinions of the site by.

>>22816

Well, I obviously can't stop you from starting contests. I would like to offer some advice though. It might be a good idea to start up a contest intrest thread or survey before making a multi-part contest plan. Involving the community in the decision making stage would help to solidify both writer and reader turnout.

>>22834

I participated in the contest poll after the most recent. There was an interest, which is why I'm doing it to begin with.
