Ungod Posted October 20, 2016 Report Posted October 20, 2016 Hullo. I'd like us to work on a quest, a weird one, 'cuz hey! it's for Halloween. This is about creating a monster out of a fear, in an atempt to give it a face. I'm not disclosing any more details, but anyone who wishes to see his/her monster and parade with it on that night, should join. Sign in in this topic, by stating the name and three of your fears - it's your choice which ones. Naturally, there will be rewards, but we haven't decided on them yet No worries, though There's gonna be stuff So, let's start it! Lintara 1 Quote

Ungod Posted October 21, 2016 Author Report Posted October 21, 2016 (edited) you might wanna rethink those fears, Ledah. but it's your choice Registrations are opened until step three. I'll be posting step two later this evening, whn I arrive home. edit: i arrived home, i'm too tired. tomorrow Edited October 21, 2016 by Ungod Quote
Ungod Posted October 22, 2016 Author Report Posted October 22, 2016 Starting from now, you will write in the topics I will open after this post Step number two is a game of associations, one in which you'll have to use your intuition and a 'feel' of things. No logic needed Associate your fear(s) with: a plant, a fish, a reptile, a bird/insect (whichever you want) and a mammal (human beings excluded). Also, choose one of the elements: fire, water, lightning and rock. Now you can drop one or two fears, if you want, and focus on one (or two or all three). Quote

Ungod Posted October 23, 2016 Author Report Posted October 23, 2016 Yes, you can, Nim. I will be posting step three in one or two days, after which registrations are closed. Faceless, the sooner, the better. It'd be nice to have your monsters ready by Halloween, but it's not mandatory. Quote

Ungod Posted October 26, 2016 Author Report Posted October 26, 2016 Ok, closed for new participants. Now, for every imagery you associated your fear with, you must choose an impossible expansion (or impossible contraction, if you will). For example, if you chose an oak, an impossible expansion would be the plant's monstruous growth of the root or of an acorn, forgetting the rest (or you could look at it as the shrinking of all of the plant's parts and systems while a root or a fruit remains at it's normal stage). What you choose is up to your intuition (I think there should be a rule here, but I haven't been able to think of one). Grow a fish's head, shrink a bird, leaving it's beak, leave only the trunk out of a mosquito, your choice. You can focus on one fear only or more/all. Quote
Ungod Posted October 29, 2016 Author Report Posted October 29, 2016 If you decided upon the impossible growth, you can now choose a blueprint. The blueprint is a form of matter organisation, an organism, and you choose the one it seems more suitable to your fear. Also, I'm introducing a deadline of one week from now to reach the phase of the blueprint, since I see most topics I opened unfilled. Quote

Faceless Posted November 17, 2016 Report Posted November 17, 2016 I have not noticed any progress in this quest since Halloween, should not it have already been closed? Quote
Ungod Posted November 18, 2016 Author Report Posted November 18, 2016 i'm struggling to find some time, have patience, I beg of you Quote
Ungod Posted November 20, 2016 Author Report Posted November 20, 2016 Nimrodel, can you finish the quest in a week from now? In any case, I'll share the idea behind this quest, weird as it was When I thought about writing a quest for Halloween, I was thinking what is a monster, really...and this is what I came up with (debatable thoughts): Fear is nature's mechanism for a stable growth and/or a stable demise; it prevents the impossible expansion or the impossible contraction. A monster created out of a fear is the mind's self-created system of growth and/or death. Quote
Nimrodel Posted November 27, 2016 Report Posted November 27, 2016 Um.. give me till 1st please? I have this thesis thingy going on... Quote
