the Curse of the Kasuga Shrine

Word Count: 5334

Rating: M

Partner: Riku Ryuu

Prompt: Sense

@_@ OMFG most of you are evil 2 of you made me cry! Next time ... cant do that! not allowed I'll spork you! and Ha! skye not chat cant steal spork!

*Skye steals spork, sends it up to the sun*

No sporks in the forum either. Moxy is well aware of that rule She'll lay the smackdown on you!

D:

So mean!

TT3TT *whineS* spork!

I should get sporks because i was made sad!

I agree with r0o! Seriously, Shadow mentioned this and I agree with her too! Sadness seems to be an unspoken theme in this round

I think it's a reflection of everyone trying to write their best and beat their partner. Evoking strong emotions is one of the main goals of a good story, and sadness is a very strong emotion. If you can make someone cry, you've affected them on an emotional level, and somehow that effect is regarded higher than when you make someone laugh. I mean, how often does a comedy win Best Picture?

I think angst is going to be a continuing thread, poor r0ojira, but hopefully it won't be as heavy-handed so that you'll be spared a bit

I don't know about you, r0o, but I'm just glad about all these wonderful stories that are coming from this tournament (I had been hitting a dry spell fic-wise, see). Thank you one more time Tangie!

I just spent so much time reading all these, and I just blown away. Seriously everyone did such amazing work with these, it was so much fun to read! And everyone has different style and we kinda all went different directions!

May I go on the record and say . . . why did everyone have to do such a darn good job that I'm having a difficult time choosing?! Seriously! Thank you to all writers for your hard earned and awesome work. I figured since I don't do a whole lot of writing due to RL pressures, least I can do is review or vote, but very difficult . . . very, very difficult. Wish I could just vote, draw.

<3 L

Btw, Tangie, when we vote, can we just send a PM with a list of the 13 people we vote for? Or do you want separate PMs?

Go ahead ans end them all in one. Tang isn't gonna be here to answer for at least a week.

I'm back! From moving that is, for now anyway and I have some things to say.

As it is Addy, Elisa, and Ejunkie are disqualified for not posting their entries. Kirai advances to the next round because Addy is disqualified for not posting.

My next thing to say is you guys are so amazing, I've barely gotten though all of your entires and you guys have already made me laugh (so hard I fell off my bed), cry (so much that my mom has thought I'd injured myself), and feel so proud (I really love to brag about y'all) because this is really just amazing.

AND this first round of votes has probably gotten more in so far than all of last years rounds of votes added together! But don't worry about the votes being lost or peeked at as they are very safely stored away in my handy dandy large note book (that is so big I think it is only half a centimeter smaller than my laptop) on a random piece of paper that is under heavy guard!

The voting ends on the 15th so keep that in mind and on that day I will announce the winner of this round! Keep voting and thanks for just being so awesome that my family thinks something is wrong with me because of all the tears, laugher, and just silliness I do while reading all of your magnificent stories.

As a small side note, there are always angsty/sad stories in this tournament because as Lady B said that angsty emotions do tend to evoke some strong emotions and I wouldn't really ahve htis tournament without its angsty and sad stories. Because variety is good. That and if I banned it I would be cutting of free will and all! And I'm very pro free will. But don't fear humor and romance and all that other stuff appears just as often as angst! This was just a rather emotional round for stories really. (:

Well, crappity! I just read through them all. Leaving the emotional rollercoaster out the door for now, the biggest problem I'm having is that for several pairs, I have NO idea who to vote for as both writers turned out stories that appealed to me in different, but equally persuasive ways! Shadow, Riku, MissTeak and Sky are the particular culprits in this case.. ::glares at you all and flails::

My dear participants, this first round has finally come to its end. We saw a lot of really amazing writings, or at least I did if you didn't see a lot of really great writings you need glasses, but as is the nature of this tourment there can only be one winner per pair and here they are:

Luna vs Hairann, Luna Wins

QuoththeDragon vs DreamCatcher, Dragon Wins

Summerbirdy bs Kogazgirl, Summer Wins

Zandrellia vs Angel, Zandi Wins

CreatureofShadow vs RikuRyuu, Shadow Wins

DemonQueen vs Sugar0o, Sugar Wins

Madison vs Ritska, Maddie Wins

Synyster Star vs Naqaashi, Naq Wins

Lira vs Jenniferelaine, Lira Wins

Skyisthelimit vs MissTeak, Sky wins

And thats all! Just kidding, and last but not least is *drumroll*

Priestess Skye vs LadyBattousai, Lady B Wins

Kirai as I already noted already advanced due to her partner not posting and Elisa and Ejunkie never posted so they are disqualified. This was quite the amazing round and I congradulate thsoe who bother passed and didn't, you all did superb and within the next week I'll have banners up for grabs.

Also sometime today you will get your new partner and prompt and once you do the second round shall begin!

Congratulations to everyone who advanced. Everyone wrote some amazing stories.

Congrats Luna and good luck in the upcoming rounds .
