Well, it's officially August 3 and no one has signed up, which I had anticipated after the low traffic. This contest is officially no longer proceeding as it was. Perhaps I will run it later after tweaking the guidelines a bit. Thank you greatly to those who commented. It makes me feel less alone in...

I don't remember saying or seeing anything about a farming themed contest. I may have either forgotten or picked it up subconsciously. Technically the grim harvest is still the harvest, so I'd still count that as following the guidelines. The theme is meant to give direction rather than narrow poten...

Well I wasn't around when this thread was active, but I have to ask now, does the main character have any real internal struggle or is his motivation primarily external? If he doesn't experience some kind of harsh failure along the storyline, then it'll be harder to enjoy his character. My personal ...
