I am interested in British politics and old men from those isles. That is where I get the pictures. I used the photos of the fictional minister Jim Hacker, portrayed by Paul Eddington in the Mudslinging Thread, and the disgraced politician Patrick Mercer for the competition.

This person however is very famous! He is the head of state of France, Francois Hollande!

I am thankful for your good sport for reading this entry of mine. I am aware that the entry lampoons you, me and everyone else! I am touched that you took the entry in your stride. It does contain my thoughts about writing events and how they are conducted and of course thoughts about events in the real world. All part and parcel of my writing style.

That said, allow me to say that your riposte to this entry is ruddy brilliant! What a way to rub it into leonard267's nose by refusing to write in the way he demands!

Wrong about me being the organiser of the Valentine Writing Event. It is someone else. That said if he could tell me something about the copyright of established fairy tales, I am considering coming up with a transcript and credit him as the author.

This is the funniest thing I have heard all day, Xenon. You stand to be a better comedian that I can ever hope to be.

I am not of the belief that the above user wants to me to author the parody he wants the user above him to author.

The username of the above user fascinates one on issues pertaining to the presence of both his femur bones at the parts of his body below his torso. "ShinZero" implies that the above user has zero shins making physical movement nothing short of utter difficulty.

That line is at the very beginning of the entry for extraordinary under 'etymology'! How could you have missed it?!

Woman did not reply to my message to her.

Allow me to quote from the link I have provided you:

From Latin extraordinarius, from extra ordinem, "outside the order"; equivalent to extra- +†Ž ordinary. Extra means outside. The origins of the word is Latin instead of English.

Wikitionary is not really a dictionary. It tells you the origins of the word and how it is used throughout the ages.

I agree with you about Kenji actually. It is a shame that the story does not have a 'route' for him.

I hope nothing serious happened. Like Peltor, I am more than happy to be talked to.

He appears to know what happened at the 15th of February. Move a few hundred kilometres south of that island, there will be lots of volcanoes.

high, I am done with my entry for the writing event. It is incredibly lazy though.

LEONARD267 HOSTS THE VALENTINE'S DAY EVENT

The following entry has little to do with love or fairy tales. It has a lot to do with parodying and lampooning a writing event that is about love and fairy tales:



Guidelines

a) What comes into your mind when you look at your calendar only to find that today is the 14th of February? I can't read minds but if you are living in the West (sans Australasia), chances are it would be the 15th of February from where I come from. While others are celebrating this accursed festival of romance, a concept that is a vaguely defined, supposedly hormone driven, clouds what could otherwise be good judgement and potentially ruinous, I find it near impossible to celebrate that day.

The 15th of February marks a God-forsaken event that would be known to be one of the darkest events in history when a foreign invader decided to set up shop on my territory. What followed was an orgy of rape, pillage, economic devastation and endemic malnutrition. It was an occupation that can only be described as tyrannical rule if one were to be lenient. I am of course referring to the hypothetical scenario if I let these silly feelings of romance get the better of me and end up with a woman that would ruin the lives of me and many others.

Since I, leonard267, am the host of this event, this writing event will be extremely normal, never mind that many in this forum have in my opinion strange expectations of what constitutes as 'normal'.



b) Therefore, the theme of this year's Valentine event will be 'normalcy'. Normalcy refers to the feelings of megalomania coupled with the feelings of inadequacy, a constant state of anger and frustration, an irrational hatred towards romance and the young and the idealistic, a near fetish towards the old and the cynical, lack of appreciation of beautiful prose and symbolic work and a love for direct, concise and easy to comprehend essays. Quite normal, wouldn't you agree?

Allow me to state what my expectations are of normal writing. The details are in this spoiler:



Do remember to tag the title of your entry with the words [I Love leonard267's Writing] and provide the link to your entry in this thread. Doing so will inflate my already bloated ego. An example of an acceptable title is shown below:

[I Love leonard267's Writing] Title of the Entry Being I Really Love leonard267's Writing.



c) Do ask for others to correct your grammatical errors and ask other people to whine and moan excessively about your entry for this writing event! It will happen whether you like it or not, especially if a user called leonard267 is plaguing the Writing Section with his presence.



d)]FAQ

Q : Can I submit multiple entries?

A : Yes. Don't expect me to read it.

Q : How about lemons (erotic stories) and other stories depicting sexual depravity that would in all likelihood threaten human civilisation as we know it? Can we write them?

A : Yes. Don't expect me to read it. Expect me to cyberstalk you and flood your message box with written rebukes.

Q : Can I submit a poem, essay, narration, etc. rather than a story?

A : Yes. Don't expect me to read it. I will make you read my compendium of fine works instead.

Q : Can we submit fanfiction or our old works that have something to do with the theme?

A : Yes! Of course! I would read it! Anyone who is against fanfiction or completed work has a bone in his brain. Don't they know that the acts of writing fanfiction and copying and pasting take real effort?!

Q : How about the word limit?

A : There is no word limit. If you come up with a 10^5 - 10^6 word novel, don't expect me or any living soul on this plane of existence to read it.

Q: Will there be judging?

A: Of course there will be judging! I will be flooding your entries with my unbiased and impartial remarks! I would also expect like minded people to do the same. If you are asking if there would be any judges though, they won't be any. leonard267 is a lazy oaf.


e) The contest will end at 1st April 20XX (UTC +8.00) 2359hrs, April Fools. This is an apt metaphor of how any romance would end -- as a joke.



This writing event is an exercise whereby the contest organisers have their egos stroked! Why on earth would they want to spend so much money on prizes that many in the Far East can't import (and for very good reason as well) into their borders?!

In summary: Prizes?! What prizes?!

List of Entrants and their Submissions

Does he know what happened at the 15th of February? I want to make him suffer my writing once more.

I welcome any opportunity to write. I will be writing at work, I will be writing at home, I will be writing to communicate. I need practice and I want people to read what I write. Events like these are easy to hold, fun to participate in, gives excuses for people to read the work of other people and it is like a film festival. No winners, no losers but with happy and not so happy audiences nonetheless.

As with previous contests, I cannot import the prizes that are offered. Why do I still participate in these contests? Because it is fun making people suffer what I write!

That said, xnine, you can come up with anything that is not already written. I spent two weeks penning 8 nonsensical articles and it felt good. I would even welcome you rewriting that winning contest entry of yours.

Thank you for the explanation! Now, I am obliged to say the following:

When the entrants of this competition explained what their work was all about be it Dawn of Dark, FGRaptor, d(^_^)(^_^)d, (even mine!) and perhaps a few others, I kept thinking to myself that they could have included their explanations in their entries.

If one wants to talk about how the objects in the city reminded Peter of his deceased lover, one ought to state it clearly. I think Peter should have picked up one object and then the story would explain that the particular object reminded him of his relationship with his lover. This means however, that most of the entry would be about his lover. It was ironic that the entry barely mentioned her. (Only twice throughout the entry to be precise)

Long story short, if one wants to attempt symbolism, irony of ironies, one should plainly state so. This is my tastes when it comes to reading.

I will get the parody of your entry done as soon as I am done with the Valentine Day Writing Event. I will guarantee you that you will find it lazy.

Oh dear. Stories about people ingesting poison is not the best reading material while waiting to ingest food. I hope you are alright!

I feel as if my mental age is around his physical age and at times I feel that his mental age is the same as my physical age.

We haven't spoke for a long time have we?
