Week 79 Game
Board by somigliana, prompts by benebu.
There will be no Post Secret for this game.
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.
Always follow the alphabet, unless you land on a PC, in which case you should follow the PC direction (A to Z or Z to A) until you land on another PC.
For the Player's Choice squares, you can only take more than one prompt if the ones you choose are in the same row.
New Player's Choice rule: You have to follow the prompt categories (Prompt, Character or Action). If you use a prompt outside its category, you will lose 1 point.
All the general rules can be found in the user profile. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Some Great Thing* table +2 each
that is the truth about a boy in a girl's bedroom
I am a reasonable man. Praise me. I am reasonable
I smiled, and my soul winked back at me
my son my son, is the life hope love and death of me
I did what your standard lunatic does
to run was my need, not my wish
mine like my boot, like my heart
the inky part of fate
A kiss on the skin of her smile
hold in your eyes the diamond of your dreams, blink, and behold what diamonds dream of
the taste of the milk of lost hope
how to grow a god
A scientist's enthusiasm, once underway, can be messy
every happynasty secret of each solitary mind
What a long way to the ground
* All of the above are quotes from Colin McAdam's novel Some Great Thing
