In the interest of being part of the solution (cuz I know full well how time can get away from judges): I am offering three critiques this week. Any T-dome story from 2016 (or hell, December 2015 too) is fair game. Claim them while the getting's good. Reciprocation is appreciated, but not required. A link to the story you want critted is also appreciated (and required).

have some more TD audio First up, we recapped week 175: Speels of Magic. This was a difficult week to judge, because the judges had wildly different opinions about the submissions. Can time and distance possibly begin to heal the wounds suffered while judging? Find out in this very special* recap. We had some slight technical difficulties at the end, but eeehhhhhhhhh who cares. The Recap The archive link if you want to follow along. *Note: recap not very, or special Actually, the really special recap I have for you is week 176: Florida Man and/or Woman. You all know what you did. And I'm still mad about it. Florida week was interesting in that it didn't receive and dishonorable mentions but...that's mainly because the judges were reluctant to issue a billion DMs right before Christmas. The judges, unlike you heartless bastards who wrote for week 176, have consciences. So we took a different approach to Florida week for the recap: we decided to do some dramatic readings of the more memorable stories from that week, along with commentary. The recap The archive link And finally, here is the audio from the livecrits from week 180! The Livecrits I realize audio-only is kind of a mess, but it's something to tide you over while the judges catch up with written crits. I'm thinking about making livecrits a more semi-regular thing (with whoever wants to participate, within reason) that's detached from judging, based on feedback I've received from talking with goons. I think that might make everyone happy?? We're still probably going to do them this week, because honestly it's a fun way to judge. Mainly, I don't want people to think anyone has any intent to replace any aspect of judging with the whole "live" shtick. It's just something we like doing! So I hope at least some of you get something helpful from it. Thank you to Kaishai, Curlingiron, Djeser, and Ironic Twist, as well as all the people who listen to these. Like, it's kind of ridiculous, but really fun, and if nothing else we learn a lot while picking apart your stories. So seriously, thanks. The other recaps: Kaishai posted:Thunderdome Recaps

Posting crits is good and should be done. "But Seafood," you might say, "You forget to post crits all the time." I do, and that makes me a loser, but it doesn't make me wrong.

brawlstory Axe to Grind Words: 635 Luther swung his heavy axe at the doomed man’s neck. And missed. The crowd murmured, confused. A clean execution was one thing, and a messy kill was interesting - but a miss, that was something new. None of them could remember a miss of the axe in the current headsman’s long tenure. Luther tugged on his executioner's hood, his axe still stuck in the stage. “I’m sorry, sir,” he called, looking up to the balcony where the prince sat. “It’s my wrists. They just haven’t been the same, of late…” Luther trailed off, squeezing exaggeratedly at his wrists. It wasn’t a complete lie, but the executioner figured he probably had at least a few years left in him before retirement. The crowd turned on the headsman at once. Wrists lightly bruised or shattered in a million pieces, they came for an execution. More than one of the peasants close to the stage pointed out just what a sham Luther was, all while others readied their tomatoes. From behind his mask, Luther winced at both the bloodthirst of most of his audience and just how quick on the uptake some of them were. From his balcony, the prince called for silence. “Very well. As reward for your many years of service, loyal headsman, I grant you your rest early, for this day--” A day without blood spilled for a careless system. A tiny victory, at best, but one Luther could live with. “--and for the rest of your days. You may live your life as a normal citizen once more.” Luther’s head jerked up - realizing that his plan had worked a little too well. “Sire, I don’t--” “Bring your son here by noon tomorrow so he may begin learning his duties as your replacement.” --- Luther kissed his son goodnight, locked the door tight, and set out on his grisly task. Getting in the palace dungeons was easy enough. He knew almost every guard, several of the hidden passages and was often seen at the dungeons. Unlike his father, Luther believed a man should get the chance to see his executioner face-to-face before their fatal meeting. The first few were easy enough: a rapist, a father turned murderer of his own children and a minor noble found guilty of treason. All asleep. Luther didn’t hesitate in slitting their throats. Dying sighs and blood splattering on his clothing gave him no pause, used to both as he was. He came to the last prisoner slated for execution, and recognized him as the man from the previous day. The skinny, rag wearing man slept, curled in a ball, as far away from the door as possible. Full collection of taxes was never going to be possible, but the collectors occasionally dragged in a few peasants to be made example of. The sickly peasant opened his eyes as Luther towered over him. Luther froze, flickering lantern light illuminating his blood streaked knife. How many had Luther killed in his over thirty years of executions? The tax-dodger died that night without Luther ever learning his name-the guard on duty hadn’t even bothered to write it down. --- That brief, pitiful gaze stayed with him for the final five years of his life. Even after countless nights of his quiet murders, never caught, Luther went to his grave remembering the knife dragging across the man’s neck. In reality, the peasant was found dead the following morning without a scratch. Eventually, his crimes and desperate attempts to save his son’s innocence caught up with him. Luther’s confession to a priest of his deeds, in an attempt to redeem himself, was the first of his two last requests. The second was for a bag, so as not to see the look in his son’s eyes as he dropped the axe on his father.
