DEAD PEOPLE ARE ALLOWED TO ENTER
This will be the final team immunity challenge
I want to see who can ride a mer-person the furthest. To enter, write me a story using only the letters in "a mer-person." You can use each letter as many times as you want, and you can use any punctuation you choose.
I will accept multiple entries from the same team. This is so people can work on this, have fun with it, and submit a story on their own. HOWEVER, I will not accept more than one entry per person.
Each sentence in the story must make sense and at least tangentially relate to the story. I will be kind of a stickler about this, so keep your tales polished. Whomever posts the longest entry that fulfills these qualifications will win immunity for their entire team.
For inspiration, here is Sarah's winning entry from a similar contest in Mildville IV, which still blows my mind. She had to use the letters in "a broomstick":
A broomstick skit:
I sit at a coast bar, it boasts art so I start a tab. It costs a stack to roam its brick tombs. A back room is it? A tot's crib sits, it coos to kiss its mom's boobs. 'Tis a brat's roost! Stacks o' books sit; mitts, socks, robots, broomsticks, a cot too. I backtrack to its bar. A roast boar rack cooks, 'tis most moist! I toast to roasts! "I cook brats, ribs, crabs, orcas too", I boast. A cat tracks a rat to attack, so it sits back at its task. 'Tis a risk to attack a bat, most cats sack rats. A brisk storm stirs mist as boats' masts rock. I sit back a bit to rack bar tabs, crack crabs, kick boots or start a book. I cast bass bait too. Coast bar is a cock mart, I cast skirt bait to rob a kiss. I'm so crass! I'm smart so I trick a mob crook to risk attack, "Ask a miss to smack ass or to a back room to ram bam ma'am!" Abort! It is amiss! I mock mr. crook. I cram a cask o' coors, mmmmmm! tart! "I am a star!", I bark. I miss a tram as mr. crook arms a robot bomb. Tick-tock, tick-tock..... BOOM! 'Tis a storm as brick-a-brack soars! A mist sits, coast bar... it's bits! "Is it a coma miss?", I ask. Mr. crook is in bits, I'm sick! A robot mob starts to attack. I stab, I ram, I bomb bots too. I start a boat to roam. A smart ark it is. I roam coasts to sit at bars or tat arms or rock bass as a star.
Deadline to enter, as always, is Monday at 5 PM PST.

If someone uses a letter not in "a mer-person," then what? Do you grade the sentences until that letter, do you deduct so many letters for that one letter? I'm curious.  I hope my question is clear. -True |

If you use an illegal letter, then your entry doesn't count.
PS i am judging "length" by number of letters, not number of words.

Holy shit, Sarah. That's a better story than I could write even if I had all the letters at my disposal. I was literally LOL'ing the entire time I read it.

Everyone who submitted had a great entry. It looks like it's between Sarah and Paula. I'm going to have to wait until I get home in a few hours to count all the letters and vrrify there are no illegal letters.
Thanks for playing!

This was my favorite one, and the longest, from Paula Romanetti:
A Mormon Soap Opera
>>>
>>> Merna 'n Roman, are Mormon persons on a Mormon soap opera. Merna pens poems or prose, on paper....Merna earns props on memos, so proper, no errors on Merna's papers! Roman, a rapper, raps on reason, remorse, or posers... a rasp rapper, a soprano no more. Roman sees opera as a snore season....so morose!
>>>
>>> Roman, earns pesos on rapping...poor no more, a peon no more! Roman's a man, a son no more! Roman pops some pesos on prom. Roman pampers and preps as a man. Snap! Roman sees Merna's pompoms 'n Merna's ass....so near Roman's area. Sane senses are sparse, reasons ease, an omen appears...Roman passes a name on ears, so proper, "Merna, a Mormon mama!" Merna sees Roman peer....Merna presses near.
>>>
>>> Roman ensnares Merna's rareness. Roman's manner appeases Merna. Merna possesses Roman's ears, arms, nose 'n person.....a oneness appears! Roman eases Merna nearer.....Roman proposes.....Merna moans as roses appear! Roses are Merna's serene aroma! Roman enamors Merna, a Mormon person. Merna 'n Roman appear serene...O' a spoon o'er a moon!
>>>
>>> Roman 'n Merna, sense meaner Mormons oppose one's Eros. Mormon's response, "Nope, no one opposes Eros! Mormons oppose sermons on poop, pee, porn, sperm, rape, semen, or enemas. Some Mormons sneer on peepers and rappers, some are mean on snoops or Roman Popes. More Mormons are mamas or papas. Mormons prosper on peas, pears, pepper, or Parmesan ramen." Mormon's response appeases Merna 'n Roman. Mormon persons pass no smarm or smears on Merna or Roman.
> Prepare an area near a sea...sense aromas on roses 'n aspens. Persons appear arm on arm....Merna appears on Roman's arm. A neon moon appears, so rare. A sermon on raps n' poems....so apropos....an opera on ears! No Mormons sneer or oppose. Merna's name n' Roman's name are same! Mr. 'n Mrs!
> See Roman, prone...Roman arose...Merna moans on repose! So serene, so near, a oneness appears. Roman appeases Merna, Merna appeases Roman. Sore no more....soar some more! Merna soon a mama....soon no more snores! An apron appears on Merna, Roman opens an opera, raps no more. Roman 'n Merna prosper as proper Mormon persons!
HOWEVER, it uses the letter "d" once, which disqualifies it. The runner up, Sarah's, wins:
A mer-person prom:
A sea monsoon roars as a seaman naps, a nose snores. A poser possesses pre-prom press promos. “A Mer-Person Prom! Prepare!” A prom sponsor ropes roses near a rapper manor. Mama Soprano's pope posse prepares a pressroom, “Opera Opens!”. Mama Soprano's one mean son Mason spars a poor errorprone sap, no remorse. Mason's opposer spasms, poops. Peers peep as pee seeps. “See peeps? a moron!” Mason sneers. Mama's opera opener Norma possesses sass, manners, pep. Norma's ass appeases masses o' men, enamors rappers, reaps ransom. Mason proposes, “Prom, Norma?” Norma's response: “Nope! reason: menses season.” Mason mopes, morose, represses smarm. “Nonsense, no one oppresses me!”
Aromas arose near Roman Empress Spa. Serena, a so-so mer-person, preens, pampers, pops pores, smears soap, preps pre-prom. A spa person eases a senna enema so Serena poops. Prone Serena's sore pooper passes peas, pears, pommes, parmesan, peppers, romano, spam, sesame, espresso, snappers, an eraser?
Prom opens soon! Persons appear en masse near rapper Snoop's manor. Neon rooms, none sparse, spare no pesos. Norma reassesses, prepares a prom romper. Snoop raps a proper poem re: posers, peeps, papers, no-nonsense rappee. None sooner, a rare penman arose. Snoop's opposer, Samoan Sermoner Spas. Spas pens no pro's prose. A sore Samoan sees a sparse arena.
Ere a moon rose a seaman senses mermen on a sonar. Pram poses, seaman snoops.
Meaner Mason's on a rape spree, sees Serena, snaps! Mason ensnares Serena. Mason spears Serena near a men's room. Serena, a mess, mops semen. Sperm seeps near pores. Poor Serena soaps a sore ass. Snoop appears: No prom porn! No more merman messes! A rope noose snares Mason.. so a pressman snaps a panorama. Seems apropos.
No more moon means morn.. no more prom, none!
I'll post the rest, of which all were high quality, tomorrow. Gangsters win, thanks for trying so hard everyone!!

Paula used 'd' twice, actually; both times in the word 'and'. She also used 'rapping', which has both an 'i' and 'g'.
Still impressive, though. She would have won on length: 1,576 to 1,379.

I had actually sent Evan a correction on the one "and" but totally missed the other, and the "ing".......stupid mistakes...that's what I get for proofing at 3:00 A.M.. Gotta head off to Utah now, or at least score me some tickets to see "Book of Mormon"........ |

I found myself wanting the 'd' as I was writing, too. But mostly just the H.
