In a noble attempt to rally our noble readers to her noble cause, LWOT is reprinting a plea from contributor Terri Favro who is locked in a heated battle with some guy in a literal deathmatch. By literal, we mean figurative and by deathmatch we mean match that leads to someone's death. Read below for a series of words interspersed with various punctuation marks.
Hello all...
This is a short but heartfelt "thank you" to all of
you who are voting to keep my short story in the Brokenpencil online
competition. I've heard some remarkable stories of the extremes people
have been going to keep "Cold Comfort" alive. I wish I could buy you all
a collective drink.
My opponent gathers a huge number of votes
in a small amount of time, overnight, all at once, which means that
every morning I wake up 100 votes behind him, and every day I slowly
catch up in the online votes. It's exactly what he did to his previous
opponent. He has a good story, but these votes can't all be coming from
readers. Too many, too fast, and in bulk at night. Or in the space of
minutes, at points in the late day when I catch or exceed his total.
It's a very noticeable pattern. It's likely from accessing online
message boards at the university where he's a student.
So this is
also a reminder to stick with me until Sunday night if you possibly
can. This has turned from a writing competition into one about who can
get an online standing army. I've also engaged in some pretty heated
debates with my opponent about his story, which you can read on the
blog. I know I'm making some strong statements but this is not just me
being my usual argumentative self for the sake of winning. I mean
exactly what I say.
Even three votes a day, from now until end of
day Sunday, would be an enormous help although I know a lot of you are
voting far more often than that. Thank you, I'm sorry for all the
hassle, and I promise this is the last plea between now and Sunday.

Here's summore illustrious, ingenious, incisive scenarios
which'll give you a first-rate, fast-paced, unexpectedly vivid,
utterly tangible, lethal ‘quid-pro-quo-protagonist' @ warp-speed:
[whew]
High, girl!
While I realize my penname is quite morbid, yet,
you shall find in our 24 blogs a gobba (subliminal) moxie
which has taken this mortal sinner yeeeeers to compile:
I lay it ALL out for you, dear - neet, packaged, concise.
Nevertheless, wouldn’t ya love an endless eternity
of aplomBombs falling on thy indelible cranium?
An XtraXcitinXpose with no
zooillogical-expiration-date,
with an IQ much higher than K2,
and an extraordinarily, sawcy, rowdy victory??
Here’s what the exquisite, prolific GODy sed
(with an excellent bullshot detector):
“Faith, hope, and love,
the greatest of these is love -
jump into faith...
and you'll see with love”
Doesn’t matter if you don’t believe (what I write);
God believes in you.
Meet me Upstairs, girl, where the Son never goes down
from a passionate, prolific iconoclasm where you’ll find
astronomically prodigious,
immeasurably extensive,
monumentally tremendous,
stupendously substantial,
infinitely irresistible,
(XnonillionsXnonillionsXnonillionsXnonillionsX… )
deluxe-HTTP [<- pi] opportunities for excitement BTW.
Do it. Do the deed, dude. Sign into the Big House.
