The goal of Writing Game is not to make multiple rounds around the board, but to accumulate as many points as possible.
You may switch fandoms/worlds whenever you first pass 20 points, 40, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 105, 110, 115, 120, then free for all.
e.g. Total points: 19. Complete a +3 prompt.
This brings you to 22 points. At this point you may switch fandoms/worlds.
Stick to the colored path you're on, going left-to-right or right-to-left.
You may not change paths midway, except if you are at a Player’s Choice Square.
You may not change directions midway, except if:
1) You are going backwards because you skip a prompt.
2) You are at a Player’s Choice Square.
When you reach the other side, reverse direction onto a different colored path.
e.g. You started the game left to right from Z square and reached T square (green). You may start a new path right to left from F (blue), G (orange) or U (red).
You have to answer the door challenge each time it's in your path.
e.g. Prompt: Viable +3
You answered V square and earned three points. Even though Door 2 is only two moves ahead you still need to answer the door challenge.
After fulfilling the challenge, award yourself four points and go forward onto a different colored path (F - blue, T - green, or U - red). Start on the first letter square instead of the fourth letter square.
All the general rules can be found in the profile.
*****
PC square: You may use up to three prompts, as long as they’re in the same row.
Picture square: You may use up to two prompts, as long as they’re touching each other (either top to bottom or side to side).

Date: 2012-05-15 08:53 pm (UTC)Anyway; I'm confused by the player's choice. Is there no correlation between the board and the boxes? Can a player freely choose a box, and then one (or more) prompts from said box?
The other thing; on this board, are the stars the 'picture squares'?
Hi and welcome =D
Date: 2012-05-16 03:27 am (UTC)Like it says on the comm. profile:
The box that you pick depends on which direction you want to go.
e.g. For the PC square between square B and square C, you can go right (Box B), down (Box C) or left (Box D) but not up. So you cannot pick prompts from Box A.
Yes, on this board stars = picture squares.
I hope that was clear enough. Here's a past Choices board for your reference.
If you make any mistake(s), one of the mods will correct you so you'll know what to do in future moves. Do let me know if you have further questions!

Stanley carefully touched up his make-up while waiting for his next customer. While redheads trump over brunettes in vampire fashion this decade, freckles on vampires was still a no-go. Which made Stanley wonder, if a redhead is turned at the height of summer, does the Change get rid of the freckles along with scars and other blemishes? What about moles?
He had no way of knowing, since he made his living by impersonating vampires, not befriending them. The nameplate on his dressing room door read Andrei; “Stan the Vampire” didn’t have the same ring. Thankfully the establishment didn’t expect him to affect an accent, since his knowledge of Russian accent was limited to old James Bond movies. Stanley looked up and reapplied his eyeliner.
His workplace catered to “supernatural enthusiasts”; in reality, it’s a step up from a brothel. Vampire gatherings of course have their own gentlemen’s clubs, but he heard that membership cost an arm and a leg. Or possibly lifetime blood slavery; he wasn’t clear.

Ctd. from above
A loud knock made him fumble his mascara wand.
“Andrei, wash that gunk off of your face!” The club manager hollered. “Your next customer doesn’t want to smell stage foundation on your skin.”
He cursed and reached for the eye make-up remover. “Got it!”
“You have five minutes!”
While blotting his make-up, he had to will his hand to stop trembling. In addition to humans with a supernatural fetish, there was another group that this establishment attracted: those blacklisted from vampire clubs. Werewolves.

Will try not to worry re: the quality of this drabblet. *takes a deep breath and types*
Vampire gentlemen's (and ladies') club usually sprung from two invariable: boredom and a steady blood supply.
Endless enthusiast donors abound among vampire groupies, but there's just something delicious about extracting blood as payment.
As far as blood is concerned, werewolves are undesirable. Although their blood is not poisonous to vampires, the flavor is so disagreeable that most vampires would inevitably throw up. And vampire vomit is not pretty. Not quite as bad as werewolf vomit, but you get the idea.
What vampires found intolerable, however, was just how boring sex with a werewolf was. They either want to hold you down by your nape, or whine as they beg to be dominated.
These werewolves just have no sense of flair. Or drama. And why the hell would anyone frequent a vampire gentlemen's club if not for flair and drama?
Then there was that incident with that newly turned wolf--Cody or Cole—who got frustrated at his sex partner’s nonexistent heartbeat and proceeded to claw the guy to accelerate the heartbeat that wasn’t there to begin with.
Rather than having to verify how many years a customer had been a werewolf, vampire club owners had decided to blacklist all werewolves.
