Deviants




High above the planet, Gatekeeper watched. Thick clouds and rolling rainbow energy coursed over the sphere, washed red by the light of two weak suns. This was the task he had been created to fulfill. He had already kept his vigil for over a century of this world’s time, though Time had lost its meaning as well in the Breaking. Soon though, he would be unable to watch without aid.

Gatekeeper wished to complete his other charge while he still could.

Some had survived, despite the world, despite the warping, despite the war. Some sentient creatures had been able to make Temporus their home, sheltered at the heart of Eos City in a lee of the distortions. Survival and rehabitation were theoretically possible. He couldn’t bring back those who had lived here before, but he could bring the planet back to life.

It was time.



Welcome to Libertas OCT. This is a literature-only Original Character Tournament set in the abandoned and ruined city of Eos, hosted by ~LadyRiverlark. Characters from all worlds and all times are being brought together in this survival mystery tournament, tossed into the middle of a power-struggle for a dead planet. At the end of the struggle, only the person on top will be able to dictate the future of Eos- if it has one at all.

This journal will have any new announcements and updates as things progress.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

ROUND THREE IS CLOSED



Okay! I have the results at least. I had to call in a tiebreaker on one of the matches since we were down to an even number of judges.

The winners of round three:

~Tamasha by 3 to 2
~Leohan by 3 to 1

It was a hard round to judge. Half the time, I felt I was comparing apples to oranges because the thing I found lacking in one person's round would show up in their opponent's round and vice versa. All of you should be very proud of yourselves.

Judge comments will come together over the next day or two. I know that there was some desire to have time for between-round writing, so go ahead with that and I hope people are having fun.

I know I didn't get in the next round but it was still really fun. Thanks for letting me participate and I hope I'll be a stronger writer the next time....because I WILL RETURN! :P

I am really happy to hear you had fun. And honestly, thank you for writing for this. I couldn't host a tournament at all if there was no one to write for it and make it their own.

OCTs are great ways to become stronger writers. Just look at Leucrotta. She lost in round one of the first OCT she wrote in (that I'm aware of) and now, several OCTS later, she's one of the better writers in here. You've got a good start; all you need now is practice and feedback.

#OCTFollowers and #WritersOCTAlliance are good places to start for looking for new tournaments when you feel ready.

None of the original people got involved in this in the end. It'll still give me closure though and there are some really cool things already coming out of this. Have you seen the result of the Stareyed prompt yet?

Hey, so... I do apologize for missing all these Friday night chat meetings. I wish I could attend, but I work from before it starts till after it's over. Just wanted to let you all know I regret my absence, and that I have a legitimate reason and am not just blowing you all off. ^^;

Never thought you were. They are small gatherings anyway and hardly required. It's just nice to make a community when possible and you're good company. I'm sure you'll stop by when you can.

Same here. D: Friday night there is early Saturday morning here. By the time I wake up and get online, the chatroom always seems to be empty. T_T
