Have you ever wanted to die in your own way? Well now's your chance to design some custom death messages!

Here are the requirements:
1. Write a custom death message that's 80 characters or less (don't count character name).
2. Write a second custom death message (same rule as #1).
3. Write a third custom death message (same as rule #1).
4. Write a fourth custom death message (same rule as #1).
5. Write a fifth custom death message (same rule as #1).
6. Write a sixth custom death message (same rule as #1).
7. Death messaging MUST include Person in place of character name (see example of submission).

Here is an example of a submission:

1. Person was stuffed, but they ate the wafer.
2. Smell's like someone died, it was Person.
3. Did someone just walk over Person's grave? Yup!
4. Person exploded in a blaze of glory.
5. Pretty sure the grimswarm just feasted on Person.
6. Person just died of a broken heart.

Entries that do not include all requirements and follow the guidelines will not be considered eligible.
Contestants have until 11:59 p.m. PT on October 31, 2022 to get entries to me.


Ten winners will be chosen from the submitted entries.

of the GMs and QC. Entries will be judged during the first week of November. Zoelle
will not judge this contest except in the rare case of a tie. The winners will be
announced as soon as possible afterwards. Zoelle reserves the right to make any changes
to items that she, or QC, deems necessary.

Please direct any questions to the Premium Contests folder on the official message boards.
