There are only a few days left to work on entries, please try to use this weekend to make your finishing touches.

Merry Christmas to those who celebrate!

Also, a friendly reminder that there is one week left to work on entries.

Take care and be well.

I'm uncertain if I stick around because I'm stubborn, don't like leaving where I feel comfortable, or I'm just too loyal, but I've stuck around year after year since the beginning of 2008 and made some great friends and memories along the way. Although I stayed secluded to the Writing & Fanfiction section, I still enjoyed the content and community as a whole. Every year since 2011 I look forward to running our annual Winter Writing Contest (link to this year's run, it's still going on!) and making new memories of the interesting things people create. For me, it was more than a congregation of hentai enthusiasts, it was our creative outlet for a simple hobby like writing.

FAKKU has really grown, and having had the privilege to watch it become bigger, more official, producing excellent content, and even personally helping that along the way, I become proud. I am proud of the steps that you—we've—made to help build this niche community into something productive and larger than itself.

Thanks for all the hard work you've done, Jacob, staff, forum admins and mods, and any loyal enthusiasts and contributors who've pitched in towards this endeavor. Your success makes me feel content with camaraderie.

Here's to 11 years more.

Winners

You can view the Winners declared in a thread here.

List of entrants and their submissions:


If your name is not on this list, it means:

- You did not post a link to your submission as instructed by the rules above.

- Your entry did not follow the rules, being that it went over 5000 words or was not somehow related to the theme.

- Your entry was not posted before the deadline.

- The list is yet to be updated.

If you've made an error from any of the infractions described above, then your entry may not be included, but you will be notified of such and given the opportunity to fix as appropriate, unless the deadline has passed.

It is my honor to have the privilege of hosting this competition alongside last year's runner-up, d(^_^)(^_^)d, and xninebreaker. So, please participate, prepare your submissions, and remember to have fun in this seasonal and festive time of the year!

Rules

1. 5000 word limit.

2. The themes this year will be: Family and Bonds and/or Fighting and Struggle. These themes come with strong emotions; spending time with family and friends during this festive time might build memories worth recreating in your entry. Feel free to also base your entries on winter/holidays if you wish, although it is not a required element. Fighting and conflict also can be a popular writing setting. The literary focus of battle is an art all on its own! However, please take care of yourselves if you combine these two groups of themes into one entry!

3. It can be any kind of creative writing - stories and poetry are welcome.

4. It must be your own work. We will be looking very closely at your words for anything that has been plagiarized.

5. Please avoid having someone else edit/improve/fix errors in your entry. It goes against the spirit of the contest in questioning whether your submission is truly your original work.

6. Keep posts in this topic relevant. Comments are allowed, and submissions should be posted here as links to separate Writing and Fanfiction forum threads. Details can be found in the post below.

7. Please try to include the following tag [Winter Contest Entry 2017] at the front of your entry's thread title. An example would be "[Winter Contest Entry 2017] Fakku's Wonderful Christmas".

8. Each contestant is allowed to submit a maximum of one (1) entry.

Deadline

The deadline for entries is 00:00 of New Year's Day, the 1st of January, 2018 (EST, GMT-5). Entries after this time will have to be disregarded.

Judging

A panel of three judges - d(^_^)(^_^)d, xninebreaker, and myself - will analyze the submissions very carefully, select the ones we find the most exemplary, explain the reasoning behind them, and declare the winner of the Judge's Choice award. There will be a runner-up selected for this award who will be commended for their close placement.

There will also be a public poll on the selection of top picks come January so that everyone gets their say. The winner of the public opinion on FAKKU will receive the Reader's Choice award. The user receiving second in the polls will be a runner-up for this award who will also be commended for their close placement.

Prizes

The winner of the Judge's Choice and Reader's Choice awards will each win up to $25 in purchase value towards items on the FAKKU Store. This can include two months of subscription to FAKKU or a physical FAKKU publication delivered to you.

Those in the runners-up positions will win their choice of any one (1) current or future digital FAKKU publication, a $10 value. For a list of current and planned releases, check this link to the FAKKU! Store Manga & Doujinshi page. This could also be a full month subscription to FAKKU!

Of course, the winners will also gain the praise of the Writing and Fanfiction section.

Special addition this year: Winners will be able to receive an exclusive custom "FAKKU Writer" rank on the FAKKU Discord server.

Lastly, due to popular demand, and the fun of it all, I will be returning with my personally written 3 stanza poem dedicated to the winners, and a limerick to the runners-up.

_________________________________________________________________

Ask any questions you may have in this thread. You may PM one of the judges instead if you would like.

Also, please try to leave some comments on the entries of the participants, whether constructive or supportive. It doesn't matter whether you're a fellow writer, a participant yourself, or someone who barely writes and just reads; writers enjoy comments and feedback from almost anyone.

So please give it a shot and get your ideas out there; we wish you the best of luck. And of course, happy holidays!

Credits go to waterflame for this year's banner. Thank you!

One and all, the time has come again for the FAKKU! Writing and Fanfiction section's annual Winter Writing contest. Members of the community new and old are welcome to try out and submit any kind of original written work from poetry to prose. The winners will receive some nice FAKKU! prizes, in addition to fame and respect. You can discuss the contest and find the rules and guidelines in this thread.

The contest will accept entries until its deadline which is 00:00 of New Year's Day, the 1st of January, 2018 (EST, GMT-5). Submissions posted after this date cannot be included, so please hurry to submit your entry and join in on the fun!

I must admit, you almost had me convinced before you spoiled the atmosphere with a rupturing twist!

However, I feel that the unspoiled text serves as a good representation for the kind of content produced in pulp novels these days. You would make a fine women's romance novel about gay men if you had to resort to such a living.

Good lesson, too! Don't do drugs, kids. At least not illegal enhancers that shrivel your manhood.

Hey, nice job. You're pretty brave to submit that, and on key, also. It was amusing to notice your accent.

You did make a handful of errors. Honestly, I'm not so sure if it was your or leonard's fault for not completely mimicking the original.

Not too bad, but Just the Two of Us has a very repetitive chorus so there's not much variety to it. Nice work on the verses, however.

Ah, thank you for explaining that, high! That's just amazing, I thought it was merely a simple parody, but hearing about how you made it to reflect some aspects of your life is something I didn't pick up on and am glad you mentioned them. You're right, the struggle we have these days to find fulfillment is something our parents didn't have as intensely because they might have been thrust into their lives and positions without much thought of alternative. We, the generation born into the information age, are aware of the depressing matters of finding fulfillment and self-actualization. It is a gift, but also a curse. Hopefully you and I will find contentment in whatever we dedicate ourselves towards in the future. In that regard, I wish you luck and success! Also, thinking about how your entry can be a positive one if the individual decides to change their life for the better also made me think twice and appreciate it more. Nicely done and well stated.

May I present to you all: The Chronicle of Duke Pailskull

https://www.fakku.net/forums/writing-and-fanfiction/the-chronicle-of-duke-pailskull

Prologue: Duke Pailskull sat at the helm of a space craft, traveling to a world where he was announced the victor of a political election, an event where fools line up for hours to pretend as if voting for their favorite candidate might make a difference, when ultimately it is just to give the already powerful and rich the ability to have even more power and riches on the promise to implement programs and side on issues that are more favorable to the voter. The Duke had won such an election and was on his way through galactic space to accept his newfound position. This is the story of his victory. This is the time of his triumph. This is the moment where the author decided to affix the title of the work into the entry. This is the Chronicle of Duke Pailskull.

“Duke Pailskull, sir, we are ten minutes from viewing the planet in the distance.” A poorly paid intern spoke from behind the dark brooding leader.

“That is Duke Pailskull to you.” The Duke spoke out coldly in a booming, yet muffled, voice. The intern looked confused and took a moment to scratch his head in thought. “The culmination of my many incarnations have arrived at this moment where I would win three general elections at once. Before, only space was within my grasp, but now my scientists have perfected the ability to traverse time as well. Sending my legion backwards in time, I have changed the outcome of the past three elections to all come out victorious. My venture into political leadership will be complete in these ten minutes. Thargret Matcher, Jim Lieutenant, and Teresa June, the previous winners and household names will soon be rewritten and forgotten.” The dark figure tapped the fingertips of his black gloves together in appreciation of his accomplishments before setting them back on the arm rests.

“Yes, sir. It really is marvelous. Twisting the timelines to not only change the outcome and make you the winner, but also to twist them further and have them celebrate your victories years apart all at once…You truly have mastered the space-time continuum.” The intern nodded and groveled.

“Of course I have, you imbecile. The author wrote me that way, inspired by satirical platitudes that would appease the political interests and themes of the contest.” The intern nodded, then stopped and scratched his head in thought once more. “Of course, it’s beyond perfect. Resorting to fourth-wall breaking is cliché, but the author hopes he will be avant-garde. He is naïve.” A few confusing and awkward moments of silence pass until the intern breaks the silence.

“Duke, when you acquire control over the country, will you keep those promises you made to the public?” The black-dressed ruler raised a hand to his metallic cylindrical jaw in thought.

“Which exact promises are you referring to?” The intern flipped a few pages on a clipboard, skimming information.

“The return and subsequent removal of nuclear weapons, free bicycles for all, the establishment of—instead of grammar schools— “gamma” schools, legalizing the hunting of fox hunters—” The duke interrupted him there.

“Yes, yes, all true, Mick.”

“It’s Max.”

“Mack.” The intern sighed. “And those gamma schools will be a god send, mark my words. Blasting those who misbehave into deep space, that will set a firm precedent.”

“Yes, of course. Certainly, sir. And I support banishing Hotie Kapkins to the Phantom Zone. But…The nationalization of A Dell? I hate A Dell. She is a horrible singer.”

“Oh, don’t fuss over it. The public will do as they see fit. What you should fear instead is the referendum on whether to have another Crexit referendum. If you thought the process was taking an eternity now, just you wait. Let us hope my powers of time will fully master by that point so we may scuttle along.”

“If you say so, sir...We are approaching planet Urf. Entering the atmosphere now.”

The ship landed on the spaceport formerly known as Burningham and it wasn’t long before Duke Pailskull entered from stage-right into a stadium filled with civilians celebrating his victory and welcoming their new intergalactic space overlord. The cheering came to a halt as he approached the podium to speak. His muffled voice connected to the speakers.

“I thank the commonwealth of the citizenry for the occasion of my victory as lord of your land. I will not mince words. Your readiness to elect an intergalactic space lord might have been poorly founded. Your expectation that I, as any other elected official, will care about you, the people, and your troubles are misplaced. In essence, your vote doesn’t matter, and will never matter, but I will still do the utmost within my power to return us to a grander time where politics and international relations weren’t the shit show that they are today. I will reinstate Deefax so that you are all properly informed as to your position as slaves to my domain so that you will be able to serve the greater good and act as the mindless supporting sheep that you undoubtedly are. Welcome to the Kingdom of the Pail!” The audience roared in support that their life energies will be put to good use in service of their new sovereign monarch.

Duke Pailskull dabbed, exited stage-left, and met Max behind a curtain. “Congratulations, sir. I can hardly believe you heralded such a positive response.” However, the Duke tilted his steel head towards the sky, for he knew that there were bigger fish to fry.

“It may seem good now, Mack. But our efforts have only just begun. For above us now is someone even more important than that league of easily brainwashed idiots, and that is the reader. Yes, you, the reader. I see you out there. Who are you? high_time? Manes? AxisLight?...Or...leonard267. I know you’re out there, you can’t hide from my blue-tinted visor of an eye. Vote for me, leonard267! Vote me for best entry! I even wrote a prologue, and it wasn’t at all like the shit found in Game of Throws!” Duke Pailskull raised a clenched fist into the sky and Max felt himself go a little more insane with each passing moment. The two left to return to the spaceship where the lord in black sat once again at the helm of his intergalactic vessel to brood how his scientists would develop a way for him to exit this temporary shell of a story. If only he could be real. If only he could affect the world outside. If only the possibility was out there to grasp. Then his life would have meaning. Then he would feel complete. And then the author would finally decide to end this meaningless exposition.

This is an interestingly raw and passionate piece. I can sense the very real impact behind the emotion of each sentence, and the hardship that you felt at the time of writing reaches out and is plain to see the effects of the struggle of your path in this world. There are parts that seem a bit more ethereal, a bit more abstract, but they still feel real and emotive. Keep moving, keep walking, keep talking, keep writing. I wish you success and growth on your path.

Ah, that Valentines event entry a few years back. Good times, good times.

Anyway, this is certainly an interesting interpretation of the original. I wish I was more musically-inclined to be able to interpret the hidden meanings behind lyrics and tune. Alas, I struggle even with poetry when it comes to those sorts of matters. The only thing I can say is whether or not your interpretation sounds pleasant enough to me personally, and it does not. But that's the intention, because your aim was to take a song about positivity and make it about negativity instead. So, in that respect, you succeeded! Well done.

Not my kind of music, but I'll trust your interpretation to be the number 1 leonard original when it comes to deciphering this kind of material for yourself. A fine attempt.

Your suggestion to go into menial labor won't matter once we're all replaced by machines. Blue-collars will be the first to go, especially drivers, what with AI-driven vehicles on the horizon. Start building a more creative skill set to fall back on. Once the machines take over, the only thing left of value will be the creative elements that only humans can currently create, and even that is a ticking clock. Good luck until then.



The entry's punctuation could use some work. You forget periods and use multiple exclamation points. Also, there should be dollar signs in front of each monetary integer, unless some of these are in non-USA currencies like Pesos, in which case add the word after.

Really interesting to read about your life experiences, Manes. Allow me to say that I can sympathize with your plight, however I hope you realize that the problems you ran into are likely the result of a few troubled individuals who had their own circumstances or may not have been attracted to you in the first place. Instead of taking the sample size of a few and transposing it onto the entirety of the female population, consider this to be your weeding process in finding those more worthwhile of your time and effort. Try some dating websites so you can narrow down a search to those who share common interests.

Additionally, if you do decide to look towards homosexuality, do consider that you may have an even more difficult time of finding contentment, as gay men may be more vain than women. A gay friend of mine was telling me in college that he felt bad for a mutual friend of ours who was considering if he was gay and wanting to be open about it, and my friend said that he would have no chance in the gay community because he wasn't attractive and didn't exercise or have muscles. This is not to say that all homosexual communities are this way, but I'm merely pointing out that if you try to seek solace from the gay community because you feel that you don't want to bother with the female population, you're likely to be disappointed since you will still have to work even harder on your appearance to improve your image and appear desirable, since men tend to be more visually-driven. So, instead of buying flowers, you'll be buying a gym membership to get swole. This can have positive effects on your personal social image, however. If you're still enticed, try to hang out at your local gay bar and feel the scene out.

Anyway, that commentary aside, I just wanted to say that you should avoid what you did here in this passage:



The correct term to use is "lend" and to have "lent." Borrowing is the process of taking funds and resources for yourself. Lending is the process of giving resources out to others. Reading what you wrote, I thought that you stole 100 dollars from her to pay a bill.

Other than that, nice entry.

Excellent, leonard. Nice initiative. Maybe these coming two months (Two months?!) will be enough to draft something up.

I wonder if I can craft something you might enjoy...

Good luck, any and all participants.

Congratulations, Yanker and d. Generally knowing your skill levels, this is not too surprising at all. It's pleasing to see your hard work pulled through.

Here's to next contest, and any submissions in between.

It's pretty magnificent. I appreciate how it turned into a yandere murder, despite the subtleness of its approach.

The piece itself contains great vocabulary that has become ever-more present in the works that you've submitted over the years. For me, this gives off a breath of fresh air and good writing that I really appreciate. I mean that in the best sense, since I can read what you've written and it sounds to me as elegant and musical as the thematic vocabulary you use to garnish it.

So, well done, even if the yandere murder came about for little reason other than just to showcase how insane the Crimson Lady was, despite her supposed prim and proper demeanor.
