I loved the Hoed Choir, there lines are incredibly well written, they sound like a classical Greek chorus from Aesychlus. The meter of this line is phenomenal: And I love the ending, it's classic Grump. Thanks! My goal with the Hoed choir was to come up with lines that would work as individual Hoed mantras, but which would also reflect Galladon’s (ridiculously melodramatic) grief. Well, except for the “beautiful once” mantra, which was more of an homage to the book. EDIT: Congrats on hitting 1,000 posts a few posts ago, by the way! Edited January 15, 2019 by Herowannabe 1

Have been livin' the Shard life for 1.13415... years now. My 1000th post was to tell you how good your Roast was, I loved the Hoed choir. Do you ever read Hoed like it's the word Coed? Like on a college campus in Elantris they might have a Hoed dormitory.

In the Graphic Audio version (the only version I’ve ever felt the need to partake of) they pronounce it “Ho-eed,” so that’s how I’ve always pronounced it. Which is why I rhymed it with “no heed.” *shrug* Edited January 15, 2019 by Herowannabe Auto-corrupt 1

Which is why I rhymed it with “no heed.” *shrug* That pronunciation makes a lot more sense, and is a lot better than saying it like the past participle of the verb "hoe", like "The ska farmer Hoed his turnip patch to get the ash off". That's a great rhyme, by the way, and I can see it now that I have the pronunciation key. I love those rhymes where you rhyme a 2 syllable word to a pair of 1 syllable words, very satisfying. 1

Ashspren Posted January 17, 2019 Author Posted January 17, 2019 Sorry for the wait, everyone! This week has been super busy for me so far, and I got caught up in the rush of things. Congrats to @Paranoid King and @Herowannabe for their victory this round! @Gray to and @Toaster Retribution, you have 24 hours (probably more, depending on when I get on the Shard) to post your Returned names. I'll post the next group of competitors as soon as possible, but I'm on a tight schedule right now and don't have the chance. Sorry again for the inconsistency, everyone. I'm trying my hardest, I promise. 5
Gray to he/him Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 Ah well it was a fun round anyway! My Returned name is Skyborn the Free 3
Toaster Retribution he/him Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 Can your Returned name be whatever? As long as it sounds Returned-y? In that case my name is Toasted the Roasted. 6

Toaster Retribution he/him Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 I’ll stick with Toasted the Roasted then. 2

Sorry... this next month or so is going to be incredibly hectic for me, and though I'll be checking quite a bit, I won't get a lot of extended periods of time to write out everything. 4
Ashspren Posted January 23, 2019 Author Posted January 23, 2019 And the winner is... @Toaster Retribution, with Toasted the Roasted! ~~~ I’ll color code this and make it all pretty later, but I’m on mobile at the moment. Just bear with me... I feel like I’ve been saying that a lot, recently. Team 1: @I think I am here., with Yomen! @Archer, with Taan! Team 2: @Felt, with Sixth of the Dusk! @AonEne, with Sarene! Theme: Breakup Song Twist: You must include (at least) three bad puns, bolded. Good luck, everyone! 8
Toaster Retribution he/him Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 @Ashspren Dont worry about the wait. We all know how real life can be :-) And I won something! Yay! 4
Archer he/him Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 Compared to writing in Shakespearean English, I initially that this would be an easy round to compete in. Then I saw who else is in this one. At risk of over-hyping this, let me say that this is going to be an intense pun-off. Good luck, Ene and Felt!

Quote Aon Ene ...was often used to refer to trickster figures, which were called "enefel," literally "Wit Killers" or those who kill with wit. 3 hours ago, Kidpen said: Why are we bothering to actually do the battle, exactly? Because if all goes well, someone will end up literally punned to death. 6
I think I am here. he/him Posted January 24, 2019 Posted January 24, 2019 Muahah puns! This is going to be fun 3
