-
-
It's ok, you can enter twice
-
-
Hold it! [right here, my spit i mean]
please. please. please. PLEASE! hold my spot. thank you. -
Don't let me forget to add another in...
-
This sounds like a challenge. I'll gladly have a go!
By the way - presumably by "truama" you mean "trauma", and by "clairvoyace" you mean "clairvoyance" - please clarify?
And can you confirm that you mean "immure function" (which doesn't seem to make sense - but I'll make it make sense if I have to) rather than "immune function"? -
-
Thank you for pointing that out! I have no idea how I managed those typos lol. If you see anything else let me know. I reviewed everything again and it all looks fine now.
-
-
Thanks! I have a poem with everything in, but need to tweak it to take account of the clarification of immune function...
-
Quick question: what does rule "4.Label everything correctly" mean?
-
-
To make sure that you have it labeled like in the adult,dark,sections...etc.
-
-
Thanks. I think the labels are suitable. Thanks in advance for hosting and judging and reading

hiii, for the word bank, if i wanted to use crash, could i use 'crashes'?
just to be on of those annoying picky people, who has to pick holes in rules :/ sorry x -
-
Yep, That's fine Just make sure to include that in your notes.
-
-
sorry to be annoying,
i looked up pernicious on wikipedia, and it came up as death, does it just mean death or a way of dying? -

It means death aka Fatal. However, if u do it as " a way of dying" that could kinda swing because it does mean can cause harm, or ruin...etc...if that makes since. -
