This is great. Quite great. I for a long time have been thinking about sending in some of my stuff that I create to the informer to see if they would publish it for the almighty 'lulz'. Now, I don't have to. In school and specifically my English classes, students anticipate my work on creative assignments. The teacher specifically mentions her inability to wait for me to read my works aloud in class. This is what I observe; I'm not trying to be arrogant. I have long fulfilled the role of 'entertainer' (though without an official title) in the schoolroom, and I feel that I can spread my abilities to the forum of b'n'b. I love to write short pieces of literature, and I attempt as a main focus to make them entertaining. While I could continue on boasting about myself (which unfortunately must have been done, as is the nature of an application), I feel that the best thing that can be done to prove myself is for you to decide by reading some of my stuff. I recently submitted "The Man Quiz" to the forum to serve as my application. It can be found at http://forums.rsbandb.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=78506. I also less recently submitted a short (somewhat obviously?) fictitious story of 'my life.' It can be found at http://forums.rsbandb.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=78060 MERGED nikeballa435 wrote: My entry: Spoiler for Kinda Big:
Hope you find some humor in it. Enjoy. First off, I would like to suggest that you make use of the 'enter->enter' combination. It's enough text to invoke the classic troll response of "China called; they want their wall back." It's just quite intimidating to read such massive chunks of text, especially on a forum, without paragraph breaks. Because of the aforementioned reasons, I found it mildly difficult to concentrate on the writing itself. Also, your prose seemed a bit forced at times. It was a incredibly dramatic, which is not necessarily positive, especially when dealing with a topic such as (from what I could tell) forum trolls. Word choices such as "untenable conjecture and unverifiable hearsay" seemed plunked into the letter. But then again, maybe it was just your wall of text that made everything appear unrecognizably choppy. Sorry if it sounds that I'm hating on your writing, but I'm just trying to give a few tips. Take what you want, ignore the rest. I'm no grandmaster of the English language, and I'm not trying to troll away at your writing. Anyways, that's really all that I have to say. |

This "style" of writing is one that me and my friends at school like to use and so it is more of an inside joke that makes if funny to us. This topic was posted so I thought I would see what others thought. Thanks for your thoughts. |

Time to pull out the pen and paper and go old school. Expect a stick figure fight drawn up and scanned into the computer in the next week. =D |

One question: Who's going to select the winner? The community or the staff? I don't think it would be fair to have the staff choosing it. Something that's funny for some might not be funny for others and the staff is much smaller than a whole community. Tip: No this is not my entry. |

Post subject: | Re: Entertainer Rank Competition |
Does it have to be a story or can it be a joke? Also does it have to be for a certain age group because I dont want to post something inapropriate. Thanks, Des_Zac |
