At the end of the writing period, any member can vote for their favorite story. The winner will get a prize and get to choose the theme for the next competition.

Have fun guys! I think this will be an interesting prompt too.

I'm really interested in this prompt, especially since in playwriting, we recently learned about a timeline structure called "rewound time", where each scene is essentially played twice.
Ex: In scene 1, person A might ask, "how are you?" Person B might then respond with, "I'm terrible! Everything is awful!", but then the scene would pause, before literally rewinding itself. Person A would again ask, "how are you?" This time, person B might just smile and say, "I'm fine," and then the play would progress to the next scene, repeating that "rewind" every so often.
It's used to portray how strong the effects of a single action (or rather, a single DECISION) are, and this prompt is a really good excuse to dabble in that...
...but my current lack of a computer might not let me. I'll still try, though!

This looks like a fun one! I think I'll give it a go, and I have an idea for this too! Hope I finish it up before the deadline!
Edit: I don't think I'll make this one... my muse up and abandoned me. T.T

Just a reminder that entries are due today. I'm finishing up mine, but I'm not sure if I like it enough to submit. :/

Still can't decide what to make the last minute (HeiZuha? chibi KaiAo? HakuSera? They're all up there but my mind's nowhere writing them down what the H? xD). It's a no-go for me this time, sorry...
