Mark you've done us a great service by being one of the first to uncover Jane for the criminal she really was. However, what is it about the lack of attention that you, seemingly, dislike? (I'm thinking I need to put this another way but can't think of a way)

Mestro Shaft, I am of the female gender and definitely not Emasca.

My mistake young man... MAM. I ugh... had a watermelon seed stuck in my teeth. It messed my pronunciation of MISS Bradley all up.

I'm not show how much creed dance to give this hunch, but I am nut under de-impression that Phelps associated with my dear departed Jane. I would have smelled his holy water scent on her.

Reason being? Although I will say there's nothing obvious, I still think his extended silence during the gladiator scene is telling.

Yes. There's probably three+ scum alive, and Phelps's vote was at an early time that had no danger for either of them.

When did I ever vote Shakespeare?

Do you only pipe up to defend yourself now?

unvote; vote: Shakes

[Edgar Allan Poe]

Mod, can we get a prod on EL James', Cummings', Rucks', Stein's , Seuss', and Kaufman's mains please?

[Confucius]

Deadline is in less than 24 hours. More votes on William Shakespeare, please.

[Charlie Kaufman]

vote shakespeare

[Gertrude Stein]

There lies madness in the words of analysis. That said, Billy the Shakes is definitely the lynch for today whereas we must come in fighting tomorrow to find more scum.

I believe the hammer screwdriver axe wrench toolbox has already been delivered; my words may be random but I can count to nine rather than eight. Thus, just in case:

Vote: William Shakespeare

Forsooth.

[EL James]

Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. I am horrible at anything that requires me to do something out of my main account although I thought I'd be a bit decent at this.

I don't have a consensus here on anyone and time is not of the essence.

Unvote, Vote: Shakespeare

Diary Entry 13

This evening, we dined on roast pheasant and various steamed greens. This light meal was followed by sitting in the parlor and playing Yes or No. The break from workshopping was welcome, as we all needed the mental break. The authors of various centuries found common ground; we laughed and caroused like none of us had since leaving our homes several days before. None of us even noticed the shifty-eyed and untrustworthy servants clearing our dinner plates, because we were so wrapped up in having a good time that evening. For me in particular, it was almost as if I had never left, and I was passing an evening with my old friends back at Miskatonic University. Then we all gathered together and killed Shakespeare with candlesticks, as he seemed to be the most likely suspect of malfeasance at the time. Upon inspecting his pockets, after his death-throes were complete of course, we found a card in his pocket that said "I am a member of a different mafia, hahaHA!" Though the joke was a bit too on-the-nose for my taste, I could not help but emit a small chuckle. We were that much closer to purging the evil from our midst and getting some

real creative collaboration

done.

Diary Entry 14

After the macabre spectacle of the previous day, I was hesitant to see what horror had been visited upon this unsuspecting house during the night. I had heard the most ghastly wailing and thumping as I cowed beneath the ghostly canopy of my bedsheets, and knew that there would be something horrible outside when I left to face the day. True to my intuition, I and the other authors who ventured out found the bloodied and mutilated body (my god, this misshapen carcass used to be a

man

) of Mr. Gregory Williamson in the hallway. Curiously there was a fine white powder about the area of his nose, and his grotesquely dilated pupils suggested that before his demise he had been indulging in the abuse of some kind of stimulant before his slaughter. Perhaps this explained all the thumping and screeching I had heard last night. Surely this horror could be explained as an act of an intoxicated man. Surely? Surely?

I fear for my very life, and although visions of the horrible shoggoths and other nameless horrors I had read about in that dread

Necronomicon

flashed before my eyes, I put on a brave visage and began to lead the authors to the parlor for another workshopping session.

Gregory Williamson,

One-shot Lightning Rod

, killed night 2

With 18 alive, it's 10 to lynch. Deadline is 1/10/13 at 5PM EST.

[HP Lovecraft]

ooc:

the main behind ee cummings is having terrible internet issues and therefore requested replacement.
the main behind Fred Phelps approached me during the night and requested to change authors because this person had become uncomfortable writing in that manner. I have let them switch to their second choice author, the one and only Hulk Hogan

tl;dr

TS Eliot replaces ee cummings
Hulk Hogan replaces Fred Phelps (although it needs to be understood that this is the same user. please refrain from attempting to metagame this replacement)

[Mark Z Danielewski]

VOTE: Hulk Hogan

Gertrude Stein is still

SCUM!

[Edgar Allan Poe]

Stein, Stein, Stein, STEIN
Let us kill this witch of nine.

Vote: Gertrude Stein

[OscarWilde]

Wilde greeted the day with a headache and precious little memory of the night before. Another member of their party was gone, but somehow those gathered had managed to expel a villain from their midst the previous evening.

"Since we have uncovered two of our enemies, perhaps it is time for us to look for common threads. I find it highly unlikely that there are any traitors among them. Losing two of their number in a single day seems highly unfavorable, and I feel confident in saying that those who pushed for the death of Mr. Shakespeare can be numbered among our friends. Shakespeare made attacks against Williamson and ee cummings for very similar reasons. As such I feel we can count cummings as a friend, albeit a very absent one. He also had said that we can trust God and Poe. While it seems unlikely that he would reveal two partners, one may be hidden within. Consider Poe, whom Ms. Austen fought so bitterly with when this all began. Is it possible that this feud was engineered to hide their connection to one another?"

Wilde rubbed his forehead and paused speaking for a moment. A thought then occurred to him.

"By his own admission Phelps ignored both Austen and Shakespeare. What sort of a person completely ignores two people that are revealed to be villains in the same day? I submit this for general discussion."

[Mark Z Danielewski]

Shitty reasoning, Mr. Wilde. Two scumteams. Write that post anew with this in mind.

To whoever asked about my irritation at being ignored, I get better reads from people acknowledging my existence and interacting with me. Most of my posts may be florid, but they are contentful and I would like to know they are not just being discarded. I do like my limelight and would likely have some of it if this wasn't an alted game.

[Edgar Allan Poe]

Ah, my dear Wilde. It seems thou art simply trying to fit square pieces into a cylinder.

Woe woe, Monsieur Danielewski. We all have our worries and troubles. Some of us like to contain them, if thou know my meaning.

[Shaft]

Hogan...So what do you do when you're not filming yourself having sex? I don't wanna jump on you yet, big man, but I'm sure you have some thoughts so please share.

Looks like there's two gangs out here. The chances are even higher that this one is a rotten apple.

Vote: Joyce

Personally, I would hope Gertrude isn't a foolish enough scumbag to publicly fish for Marion's role. I had been thinking she didn't have a care; no need to be cautious of what she says... If I did join you two in thinking Gertrude is up to no good, it would currently be for how she seems to drift along, not sticking to one ideal and going with the flow of things. However, I consider that minor, and I can't quite outguess what her agenda would be for doing so if she's at all aligned with either Jane or Shakespeare.

Some of us like to know they are making a difference, even if only by a quarter of an inch and a new understanding of physics.

That, or I'm just bitter because my lovely boy never writes to his old mother. I will manage,

though the orderlies may not.

VOTE: Hulk Hogan

In Vestige gation reveals this vote to be the correct choice. There can be no diss cushion.

I shall surely die tonight (at the very least pass out from the whiskey), but I will die happy with steam mulating thoughts of Jane Austen's rank undergarments. Shed not a tear for me.

VOTE: Fred Phelps/Hulk Hogan

[Shaft]

Not that I think Hogan is town but...
Maybe I'm just guessing here but I thought the lightning rod was used last night to attract everything.

ANYWAY

unvote
vote: Hogan

[Spinning Paper]

Lightning strikes twice.

Vote: Rucks

[Mark Z Danielewski]

Joyce: fullclaim. Now. No further discussion until then.

[Shaft]

Ehh... yeah, there were two guests killed the first night. I'm outguessing what happened last night due to only the one death.

Maybe Gregory was the biggest threat out of us all.

[Mark Z Danielewski]

Hush.
