...Elves Continued: So when the story turns into a comedy, then the comedy itself becomes genuinely menacing, I had to give this story props. The ending and the face-to-face felt a little tacked on, but I understand the need to tie up loose ends and give the audience some what it wants. Besides, it definitely tied back into the first half, although I was more interested in the reaction of his FATHER than the way that it actually ended. Great read, though...

5. Masternation - was the first one that I didn't skim through. I just couldn't stop reading it outright. This is what got my vote. Personally, I thought that it was one of THE best written stories because structurally and technique-wise, this dude did it effortlessly. It was a very brief story, and honestly, it didn't even feel like the author took the contest seriously. It's like he said, "Shit, I'm on BGOL, we talk about bitches and jerking off all day. Wtf...this avatar got some stick figures in it...fuck it: Masternation". The story was playful, very entertaining, played to the audience, was descriptive enough to show me that this writer has written before (Lots of times, probably), and it had a fantastic gut-punch ending. This was a tough call for me to vote on because there were a few gems in this stack, but this one made me actually smile. I read it 3x. Found little throwaway shit that made me want to see what else this author has up his sleeve. Your WORST FAIL, though? How are you NOT gonna describe ROSA, son? Lol!!! Great shit.

6. The Hunters - was the second story that made me go, "yeah, we've got some semi-pros in here." It made me sad that The Hunters didn't get more votes. The descriptions were fucking excellent. Instead describing small shit or tons of purple prose, he'd give little bits of backstory that came from the protagonist's perspective. [paraphrasing]"Girls usually don't go hunting and prefer nature from afar"...or how he described 'dropping a rock like the golfers do'.

Son.

There were times I was thinking that a couple of touch-ups here and there and this shit here could be submitted into sci-fi/horror anthologies. A BGOL anthology might not be such a bad idea, but in the meantime, I suggest some of you cats holler at Brandon Massey and Tananrive Due.

Anyway, as pure technique goes, this was my favorite. It wasn't as effortless as Masternation, but it was extremely well-written.
I really want to see more from this writer, and if you're on the fence about doing this professionally - don't be. Write more.


More coming thoughts on the way, fam...

7. TITANS - is my own story so I can only defend myself by saying that I tried to be too damn fly with my shit. WAY too heavy on the metaphor. lol. I took a big gamble with the end because either people would get it, or not. I knew when I started the story roughly how i wanted it to end, but getting there was something else. Admittedly, I don't really write shorts. It's VERY difficult, and it's a muscle that HAS to be exercised. I could've certainly paid more attention to dialogue and stopped treating the world Toidi left as 'loose background'. That said, I bit off WAY more than I could chew with this one. I was aiming for resonance when I should've just tried for a gut punch. LOL. Anyway, Toidi, or Idiot, and G'Mekro, or Jim Crowe, were subatomic. They were the aliens and WE were the Titans, and Toidi's people were, quite literally, trying to find their freedom on the BACKS of a fool's quest...which happened to be OUR very REAL ancestors. That mountain? Wasn't a mountain, but from Toidi's subatomic perspective, it was.

And the Llatos were the future. 'New thought'. Looking at it with OUR lens, now, they're obviously Mullatos...which is the direction our country is going in today.

Anyway...Back to the drawing board. I'll try a very different approach next time :)

The War Room is next, and last...
 
I still haven't voted. I want to give each one an indepth analysis before I vote. :D

But there are some seriously talented brothers on here. Can't wait for the next competition.
 
This is what I like to see! It's awesome coming in and seeing everyone jump in with ideas, critiques, and suggestions. I also like that there's not one clear winner. It's great to see that there are a bunch all in the running. Not only does it make it more exciting, but it also reminds us that there is a style for everyone. Just because one style works for me doesn't mean it works for someone else.

Getting lots of good tips and ideas! Can't wait until the next one.
 
I really dislike criticizing the mods, but come on! Do you all see what is going on in THIS thread?!?

Eh...

Sticky or no sticky, keep it on the front...
 
This turned out to be a worthy excercise in creativity and I'm glad to say that the critiques have been very constructive to say the least. I personally found The Beast & Hunters to be my personal favorites (apart from my own contribution) but have to say that the overall level of writing from all competitors was inspiring to say the least.

I'm really proud to have been part of this experience and look forward to dropping more material in the next competition.

The pacing of The Beast was phenomenal to say the least and the humour in Masturnation was priceless. :yes::yes:

Wait hold up...that's dope, but what does "trying to find their freedom on the back's of a fools' quest mean"? Who are the who's and what quest?

I think your story was great, again I liked the genre, but I suppose now you were trying to make it more of a double ententre subliminal kinda of thing right?

BTW

I am down to expand or give my amateur suggestions here or in PMs to anyone who has questions about my review/critique
 
I'll post mine tomorrow.....i got one more day of jury duty....then i'll ask mealstrom to add it to this thread or i'll just upload it somewhere and just edit it in this reply or whatever. I just wish I could have had it in sooner so it would have counted, but its well worth the read.
 
This is a thread that actually needs to be stickied.!!!:angry::angry::angry::angry:

PM Ten he's cool peeple

shouldn't be an issue now that the NFL thread is about to be removed (I asked him bout that so it's be better if didn't go again)

I believe they said they try to keep only one sticky up at a time

[/B]

Yeah, that's what I was going for. The interpretation is up to the reader. Was Toidi an idiot for not being like the rest of escapees and escaping into the ghetto area below eden? Was he an idiot for trying to think differently and 'climb the mountaintop' as it were? I mean all the odds were against him, even with a headstart. I gave hints that their society was built on the work of Toidi's people, however they have to know their place. When Jim Crow came chasing, Toidi could've taken the easy route, as Jim Crow said, and they wouldn't have given a shit if they found him or not. But no, Toidi had to break bad and try to aim higher. That's what fucked him up.

I removed parts and rushed certain elements for time, but the one bit that I regret removing was when Toidi sees that he and Jim Crow aren't too different...

Anyway, that's that. Like I said, I should've KISS'd it (Keep It Simple Stupid) which is the first rule. Well, that's the 2nd rule. If the audience doesn't get the joke, the joke didn't work. Blame the comedian. I'm eager for the next story ;)

8.) The War Room - The actual description text wasn't working for me because it felt far too descriptive. Also, I'm a dumbass because I really don't know the difference between and algorithm and a logrithm (I meant to look it up after I finished), so I might've missed a major part of a punchline.

However, description criticism aside, when you got to the nugget of dialogue from the 'pet', that shit was hilarious. I didn't quite get why the greenery was pissed at the domesticated animals (humanity, I get), but your solution for dealing with mankind's spoiling of the earth was hysterical. I read the shit deadpan, like British 'matter of fact' humor, and that last bit cracked me up. Similar to the first story, I thought that your strength is dialogue and all of the exposition just 'got in the way'. Your dialogue was some of the best written of all the stories. Between this and the dialogue in Masternation, I was really impressed by the natural way 'people' spoke. Humor is one of the most difficult things to write, I think, and although I thought that the exposition was a little rough, the voices were dead on.


BTW - Mods need to create a forum for this (and ART) if this is gonna be regular. Maybe merge this with the Photography thread?)
 
Yeah, this really does need its own space.

I don't mind going into my subbed folder to access it, but I'm sure there are some who lurking and hate having to go a page deep at times to retrieve it...

I was thinking this too, but I think if it has it's own forum it'll end up being like the photography forum - some will go there on occasion, but most will never visit. If guys don't even want to go 1 page back they're definitely not going to go into a whole other forum to visit it. I just think that any competition threads will get more attention here in the main forum.

Of course anyone who wants to start a contest can do it any time they want in any room they want! I may have started the first one, but that doesn't mean anyone else can't start their own. I look forward to seeing what ideas people come up with for their own contests!

I need to get my critiques up!
 
Okay, here's some of my opinions:

Afkan:
I thought this story had a lot of potential to be really good. Obviously some great research was done on the creatures. The problems I ran into were:

1. All the characters had the same 'voice.' They all spoke exactly the same way, so I had a hard time really getting to know the differences between each character.

2. It got a bit confusing for me toward the end. There was some great fast-paced action, but I had a difficult time following exactly what was happening.

The Big Score:
This story had some GREAT descriptions - very easy to see what was going on. This was one of my favorites:
Theo brings up the rear gaping at all the hotties doing their thing on the dance floor and he’s like a dog straining at the leash tongue lolling all thirsty like and eager to get busy and looking for that big score

The only thing that could have made this better is if there had been less slang in the narration of the story. It's GREAT when characters have distinct personalities and use local slang. It can make the story a bit tough to follow if you're not from the area and don't get all the slang. I personally like it when narrations are more generic, and the characters are the ones who get into local types of talking.

Damn You Dirty Elves:
Besides being fucking HILARIOUS, this one was one of my favorites. There was a lot of back story behind the scenes and it made you want to find out more about the characters. This line is a perfect example of that. In one single line the author managed to build a huge back-story that told depths about the character:

Time did not agree with the old man. Though he looked young for his sixty-one years, the Reverend Ezekiel Grey felt every second march him closer to the gates of Hell.

That's such a powerful sentence! This line also cracked me up:

The old elf spoke in a eerily cheerful sing song voice. “My friends, tonight I read to you from the book of Fudges chapter 25 verse 17 'The Lord did look upon the land and beheld the gluttony of his children.

What was cool was that even though the idea of Keebler elves killing people is funny up front, it got creepier and creepier the more you read. The author did a great job of making you laugh, but then making you scared to see what was going to happen in the future.


Masturnation:
Okay, I have to admit when I first read this I was like "What the FUCK is going on here??" I didn't like it at first, but after seeing so many people say good things about it I decided to read it from a different perspective.

So I instead read it with the idea of it being intentionally over the top BGOL style. If you read it thinking "Okay, what would the most e-militant, over the top BGOL thug write in a story?" then it is fucking HILARIOUS. It's so over the top, but in an intelligent way that it ends up being like a lot of the e-thugs here. This is one of my favorite lines:

At the time, the idea of hearing an Australian accented stickman didn’t come across as strange to me.

So either the author of this story is either a writing genius or the luckiest fucker here. :lol:




I'll get to the rest when I get a chance!
 
We may have to have a thread for the contests and a thread just for us to write and practice, a "sparring" thread, if you please...
 
i loved all the stories... there are alot of great and those with great potential. The Beast had me from the start... the worms which quickly changed to the minatour... at first i was like wtf where'd the worms go. But like a true dungeon maze of course the minotaur wouldnt be the only thing there... good story..

.I couldn't get with Afkan... no offense to the author. It was confusing, im not sure if there was a plot there..kept re reading it in efforts to understand and I couldn't. The all caps in the dialogue were too abrupt... it throws off the reading...
 
Still gathering thoughts on how to improve mine. Want to thank everybody for their input...

Thanks a lot for the critique i appreciate it and def I am taking a lot from it.

I now see that the physical location (and not so much the back story) could have used more attention to detail, amateur mistake :cool:

Maybe I need to brush up on my dungeon maze lore then cuz the whole time I was reading I was wondering "wtf are they running from? the worms?" :lol:
Also they were running for weeks and even years maybe with no supplies no disrespect to the author (maybe he or she can clear it up for me) cause I enjoyed the story and the suspense, but the end was a bit :dunno:

I mean everyone loves it so I guess I just feel like I want to enjoy it that much too :yes:

I chalked up the 'years' bit to fear-driven delirium. The way they were getting picked off, I doubt they lasted a week.

Well I guess we're far enough along that I can go ahead and admit that The Beast was mine. Thanks for all the positive and helpful tips and comments all!

Okay, to answer a few questions that have been posted:

The entire story took place in a matter of a few hours actually. I wanted a feeling of desperation and hopelessness. I thought about what it would be like to be running through the dark and how time would have no meaning at all. How it would feel like they were running for weeks or years, but in truth it had only been a few hours.

I originally went with a third-person perspective, but ended up changing it to a first-person one. The reason is because it went so long and I really needed a way to shorten it up. Since there were 5 people it cut the story down by 4/5 if I made it all from the perspective of one guy. Even then it barely made it in under the amount. This could easily have been a novella - maybe 50 - 100 pages of a story. When he was saying "I want to tell you about this..." and "I want to tell you about this..." it was really ME saying that. :lol: I wanted to go into details about the rest, but for the sake of keeping it short I had to cut it down. I like how it ended up coming out though. I like how you got a visual of them all being hunted and killed in different ways, even though it all happened in the background.

The reason the worms were there was because I had to have something to make them start running. I wanted them to get so lost that their situation became more and more hopeless. Plus I wanted to throw the readers off a bit and get them thinking "What are the worms about?", only to be surprised when the Minotaur came out.

I really had a lot of fun with this! I knew with so many entries it was going to be hard to grab the attention of the readers, so I wanted to do it right away and not let go. I tried to make it as intense as possible so that once you started reading you didn't want to stop. Hopefully that's what came across!

Any other comments/suggestions are ALWAYS appreciated!
 
I was responsible for The Big Score.

Wrote it in 25 mins to beat the deadline as I'd left it a bit late.

Thanks to whoever voted for it as well as those who offered positive criticism.
 
I wrote The Hunters. Actually, I have to thank mealstrom for the title. I was so into trying to whittle the story down from 3000 words to a more manageable 2792, that I forgot to add a title.

This is the first story that I have written. Though I have written poetry before and much of my poetry is told as a story through the eyes of another, I have never actually written a story. I wrote half a page the first two days and the rest in the two days leading to the deadline. It just flowed from me. The positive feedback that I have received for something that I have absolutely no experience doing was heart-warming. I have an idea for a novel, but never gave being an author a serious thought until some of the feedback I got from this.

This was a wonderful opportunity and I hope to partake in several more of these in the future to get a better grasp on the art. Much respect for all of those who took the time to write as well as those who took the time to reply. Constructive criticism will only help young aspiring writers.

BTW, I disagree with that this needs it's own forum because keeping it here gives it the best chance of being seen. Tucking it away in it's own forum means only those who are interested will go there. We won't catch a 'passerby' that stopped and saw something interesting on his way to grabbing some porn. Keep it here. i don't mind digging for it.

If you guys are cool with digging, then there it is. I'll participate wherever it is. BTW, your poetry background makes a lot of sense. I have friends who are poets, and I'm always amazed by how they can distill emotion or environment down to a few powerful words. I can see how 'choosing your details' helped.
 
Mangled Some Fairies After the Club

Little T. lightly tapped me on the shoulders, trying his best to get my attention. I wasn’t trying to hear what he was talking about. My mind was preoccupied with the bitches at the moment, but I also kept an open eye for the pussies that were sideline hating. A few of their faces I remember, some I didn’t. Maybe they were victims of my beatings in the past because the scars were always physical if they weren’t emotional. So yeah, a few of the dislocated jawbones and missing teeth did jog my memory a bit. The bass reverberating off the walls of the club and the pleasant sight of all the bouncing, scattered ass from half-naked women, littering the club throughout was enough to make me ignore God himself if He came knocking. I purposely did a thousand pushups and sit-ups before I left the house, so I must say; I was looking extra ripped that night. I was starting to get bored with the same hoes begging and pleading to rub and touch my biceps. Asking me to tell them stories of the various beat downs I genuinely give cats on the regular. I don’t really indulge in the mangling that I do, but sometimes I must admit, nothing feeds my ego like reliving the moment and telling it to interested parties.

Her 4’11’ frame seemed to fade in and out of the darkness, yet glowing, when lights reflecting off the disco balls illuminated her physique for the on and off split seconds that it hit her. The bitch was fine as hell, she had everyone’s attention. I was speechless for a spell, but that doesn’t happen often. I had to make my move, she was going to be mine before the night was over. The hoe looked like a mermaid with legs and my papa always told me, a slick game will get you swift brain. I had to have her. I looked at Little T., who was drooling enough to fill a small kiddy pool, and made him hold my drink. “Step aside youngen, watch a pimp work.”

I could feel the hate watching me as my swag skated across the dance floor to catch up with the mermaid bitch. Dudes were bumping into me and falling down, fucking pathetic, kind of like pellets hitting a freight train. They would quickly get up off the beer and liquor soaked floor and mean mug me and I mean mugged back, the stern look in my eyes told them “I wish a nigga would”. They backed down like the pussies they were, faces resembling vaginas and shit.

My attention turned back to the mermaid bitch. Before I even had a chance to grab her by her hand and ask her what her name was, she spun around like she already knew I was behind her. “Why are you following me?” She mouthed, without ever verbally saying the words. I could read lips as well as I could read hips, so I mouthed back. “Your ass passed, without saying hello.”

She smiled a wide grin, her teeth sparkled liked diamonds. Even if she was feeling me a little bit, I was going to run with it. I had her by the earlobe now, and I was going to try and have her eardrum to my nutsack within the hour. “So what do you do?” I asked, trying my best to hurry up and get the small talk out of the way. “I’m a tooth fairy,” she replied, looking at me with those honey brown eyes as if they would let me know if she was lying or not.

“A tooth fairy huh? Like the ones that show up at night and take your tooth from under your pillow and leave a dollar type tooth fairy?”

“Yes!”

“Bitch get the fuck out of here. If you would have said you were a mermaid, I probably would have believed that shit! I see I’ve accidentally walked up on another crazy, fine ass, black woman, with ramen noodles for a brain.”

“Come with me,” she said as she walked toward the exit. “I got something to show you, we got time.”

So like a simp, I followed her to her car and she asked me to get in. The entire time we walked across the parking lot, all I could think about was fucking. I sent T. a text and told him to follow us, but not too closely.

“Your boy can come along too,” she said.

I’m intrigued like hell now. It’s like the bitch knew what I was doing, plus it seemed like she was down for some group shit, but I don’t do orgies unless I’m the only man involved. Little T. was just going to have to wait his turn. He’ll be lucky if I leave him some crumbs.

We arrived at an apartment complex on the north side of town minutes later. She opened the door to a unit on the bottom floor and walked in. I’m guessing she left the door unlock because I didn’t see her use a key to get in. My suspicions began to get the better of me, but I’ve seen the scenario one too many times, so it wasn’t anything that worried me too much at all. I watched her silhouette in the dark hallway, she turned and motioned me to come to her.

Little T. is trying to hold me back, whispering to me “don’t do it, it could be a set up.” He’s sweating and shit, making these high pitched grunting noises like meerkats when they are out looking for breakfast.

I flicked him off of my arm like a mosquito. “Man calm down. What the hell you scared for? You ain’t scared are you? If you scared, take your ass home.” His whimpering was beginning to annoy me. The meerkat sounds seemed to fade and gradually change into some dolphin, echo-location type shit. I didn’t know a human could make such noises.

I followed her into a room and saw her standing by a nightstand beside the bed. A small child was in the bed sleeping, probably dreaming sweet dreams without a care in the world. “Is that your child?” I just had to ask, but she shook her head no. She reached under his pillow and pulled out two small teeth and rested them in her palm. Then she closed her hand around those teeth, making a clinched fist, squeezed tightly for a few seconds then opened her hand up. To my astonishment and surprise, there were two diamonds replacing the teeth that were in her hand. She took out a small velvet bag and placed the diamonds inside it. I could tell by the sound the gems made in the bag, that there had to be at least a hundred in it. She looked at me and smiled. “Believe me now?” She whispered.

I couldn’t believe it. This bitch was a real, live, mermaid looking motherfucking tooth fairy. The gentleman in me wanted to get to know her better, but the gangster in me wanted those diamonds even more. It was time to start cracking bones and shit. I stepped toward her and gave her a seductive look. “You’ve got something I want.”

She licked her lips and pushed her chest out so that I could get a good look at her cleavage.
“I know, but not here in front of the child,” she moaned as she reached her hand out and gently stroked my chest.

Before she could blink, my hand was clutching the bag of diamonds and the other hand was cracking the side of her skull. She fell against the lamp on the nightstand, breaking it into a thousand pieces. The small boy in the bed woke up and immediately pissed himself then began screaming.

“Shut your pissy ass up before I beat the shit out of you.” I screamed. The little boy shut up immediately and went back to sleep. I know I’m known to intimidate people on sight, but to actually become sandman and force people to go to sleep on command was simply priceless.

All of the commotion alarmed Little T., who showed up at the bedroom door wearing some brass knuckles. He looked around the room and saw the damage, saw the mermaid looking tooth fairy bitch stumbling to her feet, and the pissy bed. “What the hell is going on?” I didn’t answer him. I just kicked the bitch in the solar plexus as hard as I could. I could hear and feel her ribs breaking beneath my foot. It sounded like stomping on a bag of pork skins. I didn’t give a damn. Her screams of agony meant nothing to me, the diamonds alone was worth it.

I turned to exit the room and the parents of the child came running in the room cursing. I slapped the father and he fell down like the pussy he looked like. He had the nerve to come running out of their room with a pink bathrobe on. He deserved to be slapped and stayed on the floor crying savagely like an autistic child begging for ice cream. I was almost to the front door when I noticed two guys walking in and blocking the door. “You have something that belongs to us,” one of them said. He sounded so feminine; I was trying my best not to laugh at him. As a matter of fact, he sounded just like the tooth fairy bitch that I put in a coma in the other room. I guess they must be tooth fairies too.

“You must mean this ass whooping,” I boomed back. “You fools better move! Do you know who you fucking with? You don’t see these muscles?” I put the diamonds in my pocket and punched the first man fairy in the eye. I knew he was a pussy before he dropped. He screamed like a rape victim, breath smelling like Summer’s Eve. The other man fairy had me in a choke hold, while trying to go in my pockets with his other hand. I heard him scream too, but I hadn’t even hit him yet. When he let me go, I turned around to see Little T. biting him on the back. Now normally I wouldn’t recommend such actions, but T. is a stand up little G, he probably didn’t want to swing out of fear of accidentally hitting me. I punched the second man fairy in the chest so hard, his shoulders were damn near touching. “I told you that you didn’t know who you were fucking with. It's my birthday and I'm on cloud nine. I got like twenty-five women lined up just waiting to see my abs and go Wooooooooo.” Another right cross to the side of his neck and he was done for the night.

The apartment was peaceful again, just as quiet as when we entered, except for the husband still lying on the floor in the hallway whimpering. I didn’t know I’d have to mangle some fairies on this night, but if one of my kids ever lose a tooth, I’ll be by their bedside waiting on those diamonds and ready to mangle some fairies too!

:dunno:Yo Kanye didn't pay the $10 donor fee for BGOL (cause he says he shouldn't have to pay since he's... well Kanye :rolleyes: )

I take it "Dirty Elves" was yours Les W? :lol: @ Kanye.

Funny shit, coldchi. I always wondered why the tooth fairy wanted my teeth. One man's trash is DEFINITELY another man's treasure.
 
I knew somehow Kanye would find a way in here...

I'm always down for the team...you guys are cool with the mainland...so be it...

Great work everybody. I'm surprised to find out my initial guess at who wrote what was slightly off by two...oh well...lol


I wrote "Afkan", which is a part of a larger body of work. I played with a lot of ideas, not really understanding the overall theme of the contest, and figured I would just take the characters and put them in situation before the story that I'm writing would have taken place in. I've been told by someone who read the story that it didn't fit the short story scope, and I agree, not enough build up, nor detail, and I felt any more than what was there would have killed it. But maybe I thought wrongly...

anyphuck...

I'm still open to advice and criticism, in fact I welcome it. I know we are allowed to take the next challenge off, but I would like to participate in the next round....if it pleases you guys, of course...
 
This is the first story that I have written.

Damn, seriously? Well I am officially scared to compete against you in the future if this was your first story! I'm going to have to bring game every single time. You have some real natural talent.

BTW, I disagree with that this needs it's own forum because keeping it here gives it the best chance of being seen. Tucking it away in it's own forum means only those who are interested will go there. We won't catch a 'passerby' that stopped and saw something interesting on his way to grabbing some porn. Keep it here. i don't mind digging for it.

C/S. I think with it being in the main forum more people will see it and participate.

That's cool brother - I'm just glad you participated! Even if it's too late for the voting it's great to get another story in.

I was wondering this myself. I think most people got lazy and didn't read them all, so didn't vote. That's not a bad thing since I'd rather they vote after reading them all or not vote at all. There also might have been a misconception that only the participants could vote. We need to make sure everyone understands that EVERYONE can vote. Just give them all a fair read before voting.

Actually once the voting is closed on this one it is done and overwith. People can put the trophies in their sigs if they want (I'll update the first post with trophies).

After that anyone who wants to host another contest can. Assassin216 has a GREAT idea for another one that I would definitely take part in if I could. I'll send him a PM and see if he wants to get the next contest started himself.
