By definition, fiction is made up. It's a lie. So, why read it? What your favorite, made-up fictional world that tells us about the real world in which we live? |

At time, when you think you know the culprit there needs to be a way to catch them. That is where "bait" can help. Have you ever used a character as bait in order to catch the bad guy? |
Scary_Soldier_Mike  - Good movie... one of Arnold's best. Great line too. so i can answer yes to the question posted. |
| With the way my characters have been, anything is possible. Their stories just haven't gotten that far yet. |
No but I've seen Shaggy and Scooby as bait often enough (or maybe too often... ) |
Ideas on what to offer when hosting a contest or activity. What are some unique prizes you can offer? |
In the celebrations I do for the Giant January Celebration for those who have done every month of "The Contest Challenge"  since it started in February 2018, I've done nearly everything you've listed in the newsletter above except I haven't written them poems or given them pics of anything. I also haven't volunteered for their activities, but I do use their activities to reward the others and I often run their contests in my challenge the next year. You mentioned gift points. Aside from everyone getting 500,000 GPs, I've also allowed them to donate 100k to an activity of their choice. You mentioned reviews. Aside from getting reviews from a reviewer who has been nominated for or won Best Reviewer in "The Quills" , I've given the celebrants review credits. You mentioned shop items. I've given them an allotted amount to spend in the WdC Shop and allowed them to use it towards anything they wanted, even if they wanted to put more towards a higher priced item. Of course, they get lots of merit badges, and occasionally physical ones, but some years they've even been allowed to commission their own exclusive merit badge! (Costs me 500k GPs per person. I only ask that I get one.) I often buy them raffle tickets or cNotes from the activities or shops of the other celebrants. I've also bought them costumicons. |

How much does your past affect your present, and your future? What do you do when your brain insists on reminding you of embarrassing incidents? |
| My past has made me act like a demon. I haven't killed anyone, I just am really really high strung. It's enough to scare or piss off anyone and everyone around me. I feel like my past has ruined any chance I might've had at having a happy productive future in the town and family that I've chosen to call my own. If I could figure a way to forget the embarrassing memories or regrets. I can't without sustaining brain damage. I kinda don't want to that. I haven't figured out a way to cope with that. I'll let you know if I ever do. |

We've all heard the term "Fake News," but deception doesn't just apply to news outlets. Can you tell the truth from a lie? |
| Mousethyme - I don't see fiction writers as liars. We just tell stories that are only true within themselves and aren't intended to be taken as generally and literally true. |
