Yes, this is important. The prompt is indeed up, at the top of this thread. It’s also here, only with less sizzle on it: Challenges.

I would expect nothing less, Stewart! And we’re pretty excited about our first flash challenge, too. We’ve got nothing against flash. I just don’t think we’ve ever placed a word limit on anything before. I’m sure our statisticians will correct me any moment though.
What? You think an operation like this wouldn’t have official statisticians?

Welcome, brave challengers. You’re here at the cliff’s edge, the only place that would be appropriate to jump. The freefall into cold space, into the one and only tournament begins. The road will not be easy, but we can promise it will be made of memories. So, once again, let us commence with the anti-hero’s journey…

It felt like a triumphant return! But, it was also a lot of stumbling and learning for us, those who lurk behind the scenes of the Gauntlet.
Frankly, we weren’t sure how it would go. It had been a year, and the world was different. Would the Gauntlet be remembered, and what would the level of interest be? Our expectations hadn’t changed, but…[Read more]

You woke up one day and decided you wanted to enter the Gauntlet. That’s on you. Then you entered into sudden death. That’s not our fault. Finally, a challenge worthy of both time and space came your way, and we find ourselves here. At the end. Do you want to know what happens at the end? Some goodbyes are usually said, and some feelings are…[Read more]

This, we do believe, is the end of sudden death.
The Final Round has closed, and we have three major stories to read. Three prizes will be awarded, but there can be only one Champion. Thank you all, and please stay tuned. Results will be posted here on Monday, November 8th.
See you all then,

Next year we’ll have to add a backgammon room to the Gauntlet.

Here we are, several days into the challenge, and I’m just dying of curiosity. Have the three musketeers begun their stories yet? Do the parameters of the Final Round even make them bat an eyelash? Have they got even the slightest hint of trash talk within themselves?

Final Challenge: Time Enough For Us
You’ve traversed the wasteland to get here, and survived elimination. Now, alas, we present the ultimate obstacle.
Your Final Challenge is to write a story about time travel. However, in your story, no characters are allowed to travel through time.
We want the best story you can write in 2 weeks, a story…[Read more]

We’ve come to the end of our fistful of letters, and after a difficult judging session backstage, we’ve got your results. We agreed on one thing unanimously, that we didn’t want to let anyone go this round. Unfortunately, time marches on, and an elimination must take place. The three Gauntleteers who will move on to face the Final Challenge…[Read more]

Elimination Round Challenge: “A Fistful of Letters”
Welcome to Gauntlet Sudden Death. With two challenges coming at you over the next week or so, it’s not extremely sudden. But it’s a lot more sudden than it would have been originally. You’re now in the Elimination Round, where we will have to say goodbye to one of our brave entrants. Here we…[Read more]

Gauntlet fans, perhaps it was the layoff, perhaps it was what we habitually refer to as ‘real life,’ but, basically, the deadline won. Out of 30+ excited entrants, just 4 beat the two-week hourglass. So, congrats to those 4.
WYRM’s Gauntlet has no extensions and no do-overs. Also, we’re sorry to say that there will be no direct email reminde…[Read more]

And the sand has just run out.
That will do it for the First Round of this year’s Gauntlet. We hoped you all enjoyed reading “Nanny Anne and the Christmas Story”. And, if you didn’t, we hope you enjoyed being able to tell us why. Watching you delve into it was certainly fun for us.
We will have the results of this round, as well as an update…[Read more]
