A couple of days ago, I may have mentioned a little something about a #marchmadness to 
It came about mostly because I was wondering if anything else was happening in March, if the
may have had a contest or challenge planned for then. I found out all sorts of interesting tidbits about upcoming things ;) but there was nothing about March! Yet...
So what's all this about? I was planning on doing my own personal March Madness, but didn't want to do it if there were other community things going on at the same time -- I'd rather join in with something than do my own personal thing. :D
Now the call is out! November's Shenanigans implanted into the Month of March! Madness springs anew! Did the Madness ever end? NEVER!
If enough people are interested and #freewritemadness starts again, I'm planning on adding 20 Steem to the pot. Also, as last time, there'll be SBI shares for those actively following my story! Woo!
If not enough people are interested... I'll be doing #marchmadness anyway! Muahahaha! There won't be a pot to share in, but I'll still reward those who are following the story. SBI shares for all! Exclamation marks for all! Excitement! Until reality sets in at the halfway point and I wonder why the heck I wanted to do this again.
I cried for half a month last time. Do I really want to do that again? Uggggh.
Yes.
Sigh.
The story I have planned is ~Certain Chaos ~ !!
It originally formed thanks to the 'sequin' #freewrite prompt a couple of weeks ago and has been sitting in mind ever since, slowly forming a vague storyline.
In Certain Chaos, we will follow two noblemen who were forced into servitude --Henry Wylswoode and Sebastian Bedgbury-- and watch as their adventure unfolds with the help of the #freewrite prompts.
There is an ancient, long-dead race that has technology buried deep beneath the earth. A bizarre machine has allowed a Lord to become like an immortal... a machine that will be capable of much more under the control of someone with advanced knowledge, someone who has dedicated their life to studying the ancient technology. The servants have stolen a vital part of said machine and are ready to hand it over to another Lord in exchange for their stolen nobility. And there is a witchy woman who worships celestial beings and wants that stolen power for her own purposes.
Ghosts, spirits, elemental creatures, murder, mayhem!
I have absolutely no plans for romance. None. Zilch. Sebastian is the sort who would traverse a brothel or two, and Henry... he wouldn't be adverse to finding love, but the object of his affections exists solely to further antagonistic events. At this stage, she'll die. But I also said that about Draven in the last story. Who knows? I don't even know! But no lovey-dovey eurgh this time. I kinda want to end it with Henry and Sebastian sitting in a tavern, leching at the barmaids, clinking their pitchers of beer and chuckling about how no-one would ever believe what they had just gone through. Cheers, big-ears!
As in November, I'm planning on doing a basic outline of the story beforehand, fully knowing that the story will very likely change course as I write it each day and try to incorporate the prompts.
So, there we have it ~ my hopes and dreams for March -- MARCH MADNESS! -- I have 5 weeks or so to get into my new characters, learn them, their land, their everything, and prepare fresh horrors for them.
