In the interest of expanding Iron Fic to non-TFF forums, I'd like to add a new rule. Fics posted for the contest should also be posted to a publicly viewable archive or forum of your choice, ask me if you aren't sure if it works Sorry for dropping this so suddenly; the stuff on the archive can be posted after the four hour limit.



Iron Fic 4-1: Counterfeit

Mafia types printing currency in smoke filled rooms, small time criminals making "change for a twenty", an artist putting the finishing touches on a new Rembrandt and a legitimate businessman selling a product that doesn't exist to the board of directors.á But it does not just apply to crime and theft.á Counterfeiting is passing off a copy as real.á Identities, documents, art, animals.á And can't you counterfeit feelings?á How about memories?


For this Iron Fic challenge, write a story about counterfeiting.á It's your choice whether to show events from the counterfeiter's point of view, that of the victim, or a bystander.á By all means, deceive the audience and play with the theme.á There's more to counterfeiting than just forgery; it's a confidence game.

This challenge's keywords are misdirection and fake.á The challenge is made!

Faster then the tree

All of Wata's fun

Yes, but I'll be working. My life kinda sucks.

Edit: I suppose you could PM me the prompt 12 hours earlier when I get home fromm my other job and I can PM you the response, but I don;t know if you'd be comfortable with that.

Andrew Joshua Talon--Facets

Writing proficiency: 18

Use of the theme: 15

Depth: 20

Story: 12

Other: 10

Total: 75

From returning IF champion Andrew Joshua Talon comes the first entry of the season.? "Facets" stands out as a science fiction story in a contest dominated by fantasy.? Ah well.? AJT's fic suffers from two problems, the first being that it's not a fanfic (though it is quite reminiscent of Dollhouse).? The second is that it's far too undeveloped to be a complete story.? There's a lot in the background that could be very interesting, but it is not sufficiently developed.
Was working on this one when SB went down, so it's got comments. The rest will have comments after I get my 8 hours.

Ah well. Can't win 'em all. My muse was very insistent on this story, but I think she was a bit absent-minded this time...

Tying for third isn't that bad for a first attempt. Especially since I whipped that up in 20 minutes on a whim.

Since Bii doesn't have a thread I could do an analysis on. I'm just gonna drop the score here.

85/100

Dropping all the scores here now I guess.

Daneel_Rush 79/100

Bissek 70/100

And TkMacintosh 84/100
Since Wata didn't announce his grades here. I guess I'll announce the winrar. Congratulations Daneel_Rush :p
Well...
