I actually drew this picture just for kicks of the female lead.

Hopefully I've made the deadline. I wanted to take a concept in the show a little bit further.

Final word count: 191
Title: "From Death's View"


Her class was unusually quiet that day. They were normally friendly and outspoken before class began, though lately such amiability had excluded her. At first she had thought it was game, though a rather spiteful one when even Hana, with her petite form and almost rabbit like shyness, skirted away from her in the hallway as if frightened by her presence or when Kenichi just walked past her when she asked for the final answer on their math homework. Come to think of it she could not remember her name even being spoken since the game had started. The thought perturbed her; was her very existence being rejected?

As the silence continued her eyes meet Satoshi whom quickly averted the glance. His seat was not far and she was able to hear him whisper apologetically

“It’s this or send the dead back to death”

She felt wounded by the comment. They were following the earlier classes and heading the words on the tape. She was not hurt by the confirmation her rejection by the class but instead by what it insinuated.

“But no one ever said what happens to the dead”

Whoo this was a tough one!
Loved reading everyone's stories and can't wait to find out who won!
Good job everyone and let the best story win!

Once chosen, will the winners be announced in this thread?

I was wondering the same thing. I have a feeling the original post will be edited to include the finalists/winners once they've been chosen, like they did with the last contest (the spaceship drawing one).

I love these new contest. They involve the Crunchyroll Community in creating unique content, and best of all we can see Crunchyroll Team's feedback on the creative content.

On that note, I would love to see an "add your caption" type of contest or "motivational posters" with still created with still screenshots. Those are always fun for a good laugh.

Man, I'm getting more scared waiting for the judgement than I was by the stories.

Yes in a weeks time after the competion closing date, Sailorbee will update her first post and announce the winner.

:D the story's are relay good. Good Luck guys!

I figured that was the case. Cool :)

Guess all we can do is wait until Wednesday then.

AHHH I'm shaking with anticipation!! I've been checking this forum every day since last Wednesday XD. Good luck to everyone!!

I'm brand new to Crunchyroll, and it's a little surprising to see everyone being so nice in a competition like this.

It's...well, nice.

Good luck everyone, y'all are fantastic.

I agree completely, Tabledeskchair. This thread saw my very first CR post and I'm not familiar with the community here, so I didn't know what to expect. My first impressions have been great!

Good luck, all.

Lol I'm new too. If anyone wants to add me as a buddy, I will happly accept. Good luck everyone and let the best five stories win

Welcome to all of the newcomers.

I'm glad your experience has been positive. The community is very friendly. I've found that the anime watching public, like gamers are pretty friendly anyway. But, this is still my favorite place to meet them.

Yah! I've also been very happy about this positive community! By the way, just finished Another and it was amazing. Fits the whole theme of this contest perfectly. Wish I had watched it before writing my story because I have a thousand new ideas now!
