Rating Waffle's story:

Wow. That is super super good. No misspellings, the entire book stayed in the person it began in, and the story captivated me from the start. I love it! You have a talent for writing, and I want to see a published book by you. It's amazing! I was completely into the story, and was really sad when the main character died. That's one of the best short stories I've ever seen!  big_smile

10/10! Completely deserves it!

WOW! Thank you SO much!  big_smile
As for the title, I shall call it *dramatic pause* The Spacebug

Re: Write to DEATH - A challenging competition for avid writers

Chapter 1 Deadly Winter

It was the beginning of winter. Every animal and living thing and taken shelter in some place or another. In the Wolf Clan however, things were not looking bright... 'We need reinforcements!' shouted Erk the leader of the Wolves. They had lost over 200 wolves in the war against the Fox Clan and they had lost the huge battle and surrendered 2 kilometres of land to the Fox Clan. They now only had a population of 40 instead of the original 450. 'We must make allies to either the Monkey Clan or the Tiger Clan. The rest are our enemies!' said  Dinlet the wisest member of the Clan. There were 6 clans. The Tiger Clan, the Fox Clan, the Monkey Clan, the Lion Clan, the Hyena Clan and of course the Wolf Clan. 'We can't afford any mistakes or we'll lose the rest of the clan and our own lives and the Wolf Clan will be history.' said Erk. 'But I think we have 1 hope.' continued Erk, 'We must make allies with the Tiger Clan immediately.' However when the Tiger Clan leader called Hether and he was planning a deadly betrayal.
He was surprised at such an opportunity so early and so deadly. He told the messenger to say he agreed and that they would war against the Foxes soon, but he allied with the Foxes secretly and told them his plan.  At the battlefield it was 200 wolves vs 190 Foxes. There were also 10 Tigers. It was very fierce and when the Wolves realised the Tigers had betrayed, they were even more fierce and they eventually won the war and took back the stolen lands. Meanwhile, in the Monkey Clan, they wanted to ally the Wolves because Hyena Clan were planning to war against them. The Wolves heartily agreed.

Re: Write to DEATH - A challenging competition for avid writers

Ooh, so Round 3 is the one with all of those dares, right?
Ok, I'll get started on that. Just making sure first, I write the story here right? And is there a chapter limit/do there have to be chapters?

Hmm, it's true that jji10 did do that chapter before the round started... Hey jji10, I'm afraid you're going to have to re-write that and make changes, cause you wrote it too early.

Book 1 The Symbol of the Arch

Chapter 1: Archeologists underground.


In a office in USA, archeologist Peter Gracket, had been assiged to find out the meaning of a symbol of Arch. Arch was a long lost country that was an island similar to Hawaii, but it was located underneath Paris. It was surrounded by a volcano that erupted every 55 days. Many had tried but none had prevailed in finding the meaning of the Symbol of the Arch.  But Peter had been researching for 5 years. He found out how to get through lava, in a floating metal boat, and how about 300 people had survived the Fall of Arch and had gone with Arch underground still alive. Finally the time of the journey arrived and Peter went on a plane to Paris with his dog Treench and his companion George. There they went to the mines with permission from the French Government. They found nothing for days. 'This is one thing I didn't research' muttered Peter. 'Have courage!' replied George. You see, that was the difference between Peter and George. George was a optimist but Peter was a normal person. Finally they found the Chasm of Misery. They were on the right track...

End of chapter.

Can I only submit one chapter from a book and complete the book as I do more rounds please?

Nope, you can't.

And you have to follow the rules for round three. I don't think you read how to compete.  hmm

This isn't going well so far. Only have 188 words, very few plot ideas, and out of inspiration. *sighs* Wish me well.

4/10 for pinni
It was confusing and there were fragments everywhere. POV changed really randomly, which really bugged me. However, the idea was cool.^^

Yikes, I haven't even started yet but I've got a good plot and a few characters. And I think I'll go with the literal cliffhanger.
