i had "So she revealed her true identity and they were married."

anyway to play again? :D this was quite fun

I'll run it again some time in the future. Anyone else who wants to give it a try as judge is welcome to do so.

My ending was
"So they returned it to its original owner."

I still don't get what the deal with Kharambolas was though.

Woo hoo! Thanks, Kalel.

I actually wanted a happy ending with Mark the Minimalist finally getting some much-needed TLC. Sorry about that, King Teddy!!

I threw in some Deep Dwellers to accommodate: "For their evil deeds they were all struck blind."

I like how Mark the Minimalist was just an ironic comment about how long everyone's chapters were, yet he ended up being the main character.

I was more interested in keeping Mark alive, even though it meant giving up my turn.

My ending was "They looked after it until she was old enough."

i tried to just keep the story going so i could figure out how to end it XD was thinking of having mark turn into a female and marrying teddy.

I must say charlesx is a worth winner after reviewing his entries:
Entry 1: introduces the prophecy
Entry 2: fulfills the prophecy and kills off the King
Entry 3: concludes the story... somewhat abruptly.

OTOH, my own entries contained a lot of stuff that was to be disregarded by later competitors - the Cave of Despair wasn't seen again after the beginning of the story, it turned out the feather-fox could not talk after all (and I can't say I liked the mirror's cruel language either), and the kidnapping of King Teddy went nowhere.

In playing the card game, this happens quite often. Player A will introduce a element into the story; Player B steals the story away and then finds a way to do away with that element or minimize its importance because it doesn't fit in where he wants the story to go.


It's what makes the game so much fun and so annoying at the same time.
