Congratulations!

This weekend was a huge effort on the part of the whole site to write write write. I'm absolutely SHOCKED by the amount of participation and how much writing people were able to get done. As well as writing, I know I really enjoyed reading the plot development that was going on out there. Some of your characters and their actions just blow me frankly away! Anyhow, on to the good stuff. Remember, if you ran a half marathon you get the half marathon item. If you ran a full marathon, you will get both the half marathon and full marathon item.

Half-Marathon

Allister = 4034
Jace=4015
Zeva=4058
Tailyn=4246
Ialari=4790
Ciraaci=4281
Quzon=4720
Dovey=5030
Tove=4309
Anibesa=4296
Lee=4116
Asterope=4159

Winners will receive The Amulet of Desire. A stranger will find you wherever you are. It might be a begger who offers you a gift, a monkey who throws this at you, or in some strange way this item will be passed to you. It is a necklace. Over time and through roleplay you will come to understand how this item works. When you hold it in your hand and turn a careful circle until you stand in whichever direction the person, place, or thing that you desire will cause the amulet to glow. The person place or thing you desire can change moment to moment. It will continue to glow as long as you concentrate on that object of desire and point in the direction it lies relative to you. This item will only work if you are within a 10 mile distance of the one thing you desire.

Please remember, your character must have a LORE of the item person or location your character desires or else they don't know it exists to desire it. If you want an idea concept or fact, this will not work with this item. It works only on physical things.

These items will be important at a later date in future events.

Full Marathon

Raeyn = 8164
Azmere = 8269
Neive=8055
Okara=8225
Kynier=11744
Belugnir=8664
Kelski=12735
Crylon=8809
Iolara=8491
Taurina=8,080
Anais=8701
Elias=8676
Kreig=8199
Tarn=8244

Full Marathon winners will receive a simple Backpack of Voiding. It can be of any color though the basic shape will remain as pictured. It can hold anything within it as long as the thing can fit through the bag's opening to disappear inside. It weighs as if it is an empty backpack and has no limit in terms of what can go in. One must concentrate on what one wants to retrieve from the inside of it when reaching in or else the contents coming to ones hand will be random. This backpack will not preserve items such as food. Any garbage or food that rots in it will cause the contents to smell and a stench to emit from it once the top flap is thrown open. The same might be said of soiled sweaty or dirty clothing, especially socks and shoes.

This item must be acquired in thread. The method is up to the winners.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Additional Notes: As I promised those that wrote over additional roles if the item required roles, I'm letting winners bank roles. All full marathon winners will get to bank 4 extra rolls. Dovey will get an extra roll to bank for the next rolling type contest for writing to 5k. Kynier will get an additional 7 rolls to bank for writing to 11k. Kelski will get 8 rolls to bank for writing to 12k.

These prizes are not transferable. They will be added to SS threads.

Thanks so much, Goss! Looking forward to working this in to a thread

by **Raeyn** on July 2nd, 2018, 7:32 am

I adore them! The prizes are fantastic no doubt about it! And the necklace is going to really come in handy as a plot device later on this season for Rae.

Grats everybody! Everyone worked crazy hard this weekend.

by **Dovey** on July 2nd, 2018, 11:05 am

Thank you, Goss! The amulet is super cool, I’m excited to thread Dovey finding it. And congrats to all - I am so impressed by everybody, honestly. It was hard enough for me finishing the half-marathon, but some people wrote 8000 words and more! You all are so cool.

by **Tove** on July 2nd, 2018, 1:04 pm

This challenge inspired A LOT of writing! Loved reading the threads that were popping up left and right. Congrats to all who completed the half-marathon and the full-marathon!

Thank you for the amazing prizes Goss! It will be fun to implement the amulet into a thread!
