Approved! Great story! You used lots of nice imagery and the way it was written was particularly appealing. My apologies about it taking 8 days though. I don't really have very many suggestions because the only thing I found was a missing hyphen.

I don't think stalker would be great. Stalker would be someone who follows you without your permission. Not sure about the second part though.

Thanks! In regards to the captor synonym, sorry I couldn't find a good replacement. Captor captured I'm so punny what you meant and fit into the context perfectly. I mean there were words like Jailer, keeper and detainer, but Captor did the best job of those in capturing what you meant.

Approved! Another great piece. You have used lots of vivid imagery and also managed to sprinkle in some humour (such as the cigarette part). I didn't find any real problems with the piece, barring a comma being present where it wasn't needed. Looking forward to the next one!

I'm not a reporter. I am a candidate.

Awesome!

It won't win as all entries MUST be between more than a single person to be counted, so unfortunately no matter how great a solo fight scene is, it won't be considered.

I can't change that rule because it gives the player who gets first place all of the crystals and other rewards, and the other people who do make a video get nothing. That isn't fair. In regards to the earlier rule change, doing a solo scene doesn't count because it is far too easy to do. There has to be some challenge for contests if they have fairly hefty prizes, so that it doesn't end up being a crystal giveaway.

I can't do that because it won't be fair to everyone who did put in the effort to make a video as they would get no compensation for their time.

I can't do that. I'll have to extend the contest as those are the rules for contests.

Well, the deadline is so that the contest winners can quickly be recognized and given awards. Otherwise, I'd have to wait a very long while.

I suppose so. If there are between 0-10 entries, I might have to extend the contest, but all entries submitted will count. If there are more than 10, I will announce the results by Issue 78.

I'm not really sure. SkeletorXVI is best person to ask, but SwiftSmoky said that players should wait until the actual, official announcement of the contest.

I made a mistake and have since changed it. Regarding the deadline, contests are supposed to be from Issue to issue, which is why the time to take part in the contest is until the 28th of July.

Thanks!

Yes, that is correct.

I am unsure about what you mean.

I'm not entirely sure. What you see is the information I was given. If you have any questions about the contest, kindly forward them to SkeletorXVI.

No invisible enemies. Every character must have a distinct tank. This applies even if you are doing something with Smeagol/Gollum. Both Smeagol and Gollum must be represented with a different tank. This means you can't use drones. You also can't have a scene about harming yourself as that is not a fight scene.

I'm afraid not. I guess you can count Gollum and Smeagol as two characters, but they aren't distinct. I mean that they must be seperate characters. Otherwise, this contest is far too easy.

I guess it is a little strangely worded. I mean that there has to be a good and badnguy. You can't have just one person talking to another one.

It is so that it is easier for both the participant as well as determining winners.

Approved! Interesting piece! I think it was written quite well. Other than that, I don't have much feedback. There wasn't much room for plot development, which is understandable as it was written for the contest. It would certainly be interesting to see if you'll continue the series.

Approved! To put it simple, this second part to your story is quite brilliant. I really enjoyed reading it. The imagery was vivid and crisp and the interactions between the characters all seem to be there for a reason, from Leroy to Jake. There were very few minor mistakes, mostly relating to hyphens. That being said, I noticed a few very minor things that could be improved. Make interactions slightly different: Not really even a problem, but usually villains rant out their extremely evil plans to completely uninterested heroes. I feel that it would be quite nice if you could use a sort of sarcastic undertone for the future rather than the villain plainly announcing their plans. Nevertheless, the part where there's talk of saving KFC makes this tiny problem virtually non-existent. Format: Not that big of a problem again. I just felt that it could be formatted differently (although I didn't do that as you requested for it not to be changed format-wise.)
