It is time for the belated Month of Fun!
Each week, there will be a theme. All posts made during that week must be (hypothetically speaking, o' course) written in the style delineated by that week's theme.
Thus, for the week of November 13th-20th, melodramatic posts will throw characters through the emotional roller coaster of a soap opera!
And from the 21st-27th, Araelen Weyr's residents will suddenly find themselves trapped in the use of an ancient Earth tongue: Shakespearean!
Finally, from the 28th-30th, you must strive to type the LONGEST post and beat all the others!
For the first two weeks, we ask that every Member participating also cast a vote for another Member. Who wrote the most melodramatically amusing post of the week? Used the most Shakespearean flamboyancy?
For the final week, the winner will be determined by a Microsoft Word word count. Please do not check other people's post lengths at this time; just write the longest you can!
And now the topic I'm sure you've all been waiting for...prizes!
The winners will each choose a character, who shall be whisked away to a mysterious island along with the other two, for a day of isolation from the Weyr. Consider it winning the Weyr lottery for a holiday. On the island, there will be bountiful sweet nourishment, fresh water, and secrets in the sand...
So, HAVE FUN!

A tie between Kaci and Cilnah!
The winner of Shakespearean Week is...

And the only person who voted during the days for Longest Post and thus winner is...
Kitari! Aka me... XD
Congrats to all the winners!
The thread will take place in the 'Beaches and Coves' board. As described above, it is a tropical island, remote and uninhabited. The weather is lovely, so whatever characters you choose should be very glad of the sunny respite.
This contest is now closed.
