2013 Kurofai Winter Olympics - theme and scheduling poll!

[mikkeneko]

It is 2013, and so time to start seriously thinking of the 2013 Kurofai Winter Olympics!

Thanks to the suggestions of everyone on our early poll, we have several very strong competitors for this year's theme.

Feudal vs Future - also known as Science vs Magic, or Sci-fi vs. Fantasy. Explores two different flavors of speculative fiction settings for the price of one!

Drama vs Comedy - also known as SRS vs LOL. On one side a perfectly straight-faced, serious-business interpretation of a prompt, with all the grim consequences and earnest drama thereof. On the other side... laughs abound.

Let us know your preference, and while you're at it: if you plan to write for the 2013 olympics, let us know what weeks you would be available to write. We'd like to accommodate everybody's schedule as much as possible!

Who said that I'm capable of doing that? On the other hand... well, I'll just have to re-read my "Steampunk Guide to the Apocalypse" then?

Oh god, what have I gotten myself into. On the other hand that genre serves my geekiness quite right. :)

well I for one am quite excited to see how it ends up!

← MASSIVE POST-APOCALYPTIC FIC FAN. it's a sickness.

...or a magical break that destroys most of humanity caused my trying to bring back the dead that leaves most the world decaying and animals turning into monsterish forms in the gray ash and red sky. (not at all referring to a previous entry that i still occasionally go back to and enjoy the hell out of it)

[reikah]

wow, i legit read that summary and thought 'that fic sounds familiar, i wonder - oh. oh, it's mine.'

/facepalms

thank you for the compliment tho, i'm super happy you like it ♥

[animangod]

Liked it? I loved it. Unfortunately the score could only reach ten. I enjoy reading it as a whole fic, but occasionally I also enjoy just going back and reading my favoritest single parts (Fai fleeing and Kurogane chasing on a motorcycle all the way up to next morning, -really love Fai squawking and going 'let me go, Kurogane. Let me go you bastard!' and Kuro being all Nope- and Kurogane figuring out why Fai left, and then when Kurogane finds the 'abandoned fox kit' and gives it to Fai)
