UPDATE: More writeoff prizes · 2:27am Aug 17th, 2014
yamgoth, a pony of wealth and taste, has graciously upped the ante on my modest prize donations for the August Minific Writeoff! With the additional funding, Best New Author is up to a cool $20 — so a first-time entrant could hypothetically win as much as $35 for a mere 400 to 750 words, and there's multiple other prizes to go around.
Prize details here. More general information in my previous blog post.
You've still got about 16 hours to submit — get to writing!
How cool. :O
Time to spend half those hours sleeping! :D
Wow. Praise unto the Uncle of Machines.
Well, two of my ideas done, edited, and submitted, the third one started (but stuck on deciding what the hay are the last words, which is taking me more time to decide than the rest of the fic), two at second draft stage, and four others at first draft that I likely won't write even if I get the time because they are too similar to one or more of the others.
Let's see how many I can get in
Though I still think that I'm very unlikely to get second or first, and most controversial is not something I can intentionally target, even though I won that in the previous Writeoff
With a cool $35 dollars one could commission a handsome profile pic. Hmmmm

Aww come on FoME! I thought we went through this like a year ago!
Err... hello everypony! I'm yamgoth, a guy who's name has absolutely nothing to do with a simple misspelling and subtraction of a letter from The Ineffable, The Father of Macines' name, nor am I his messenger, spreading the word of compleation, of superiority of machine over flesh, and am not constantly dripping Oil and will not cause permanent damage if I so much as touch you, causing decay and limbs to fall off. Nor is any part of me even machine.
*strips naked*
See? All flesh and blood. *dresses up*
Naw, my name is simply a reference to that I'm Asian and a perky geeky goth. And I guess that makes "yamgoth" kinda racist sounding, but meh. It's totally not a clever reference to both that and Yawgmoth.
*kicks over lamp*
Whoops! Hey, ever heard of Writhe and Shine? They do goth stuff and Writhe ends up playing Depeche Mode a shitton at the club HAHAHAHA.

YOU SHOULD GET A PRETTY PICTURE OF A YAWGMOTH DEMON PONIFIED.
I mean a thestral compleated. I mean... fuck... some super hot gothy thestral chick or guy because that's hot :]
*thumbs up*
See that, FoME? Totally didn't blow my cover.
*blows raspberry*

Hint: go for black humour. Gallows humour. Morbid humour
I know stuff, eh? ;)
Heh, finished my fic and went to submit, and it told me:

I'm assuming the whole "all 750 words must fit into a single itty-bitty line" bit was also a tip-off.
Glad you entered! Even if you tried to submit …
