Contest July-August 2023 Short Story Contest Voting Thread

A bold move by you. A bold move that paid dividends.

When you have roamed through the chaos realms...
when you have visited the lands of the chaos dwarfs...
then it's time to boldly go where no man has gone before.

Alas from now on, i struggle to see higher goals.

This should have tipped me off that the story was penned by you. Being the sportsman that you are, if it were someone else's story, it is highly unlikely that you would have suggested even the possibility of a counter-action/vote. I should have seen it but I was too distracted by the glitz and glamour of the mighty THE NIGHTBRINGER story.

I tip my hat to you, good sir.

You've ascended to the top of the mountain! Take in the views and enjoy your glory!

So who will be next to curry the favour of the NIGHTBRINGER? @Imrahil ?

First lets see what the theming will be

The build up was good, but had a very abrupt climax in my opinion. The concept of chaos influencing the ‘intelligent’ through the source of their intelligence is great and I would have liked this story to be longer.

I basically wrote the story in a single day, just one day before the deadline (already extended).
Being in a rush, there wasn't too much time to expand the piece as i would have liked.

Nothing is stopping me from revealing it now, but I'm not convinced it will lead to more entries. Sometimes a long entry window encourages procrastination and complacency, "I got plenty of time" turns into "Oops I forgot we had a contest."

And yet you still managed to capture 50% of the total vote. Such is the awesome awe-inspiring power of THE NIGHTBRINGER. It was one of the more decisive short story contest victories.


(yes, I'm having a great deal of fun with this)

As I've already probably over-advocated the inclusion of Chaos Dwarfs, why not honour your heritage and put forth a Tomb Kings theme? The Southlands versus Nehekhara might be fun.

I'd say you can make it happen, just start writing

Grrr, !mrahil

Just a helpful suggestion. I've already got the Chaos Dwarfs and NIGHTBRINGER incorporated into stories without ever having to put metaphorical pen to paper.
