word game: reward

[museaway]

This week's word is...
REWARD

How to play: Find the word in any WIP and comment with the sentence containing it. Just the one, ideally! The less context, the more hilarious & interesting it can be.

Rules:
- All fandoms, all ships, all writers welcome
- Give a head's up for disturbing/distressing content
- If you share a sentence, please read some left by other writers and drop at least one person a comment. (If you leave the first comment, thanks for starting us off, and please pop back around later!)

A note about interacting: Writers supporting each other is important to me. If you object to leaving comments for another writer, then we are not for you. If you repeatedly ignore this rule, you will lose community membership.

even without context i can see why an 'underserving' reward could be humiliating, like coddling or hurting someone's pride.... now the intentions of the person who is debating this decision is also curious to me :3 do they really want to punish or not...

Oooh, yes, you're very right about that, I see the point about it being a case of pride. Hehe, about the intentions :3c The speaking character simply wants the story to be satisfying. "What's satisfying in wrong choices not being punished? To each their own, I guess..." Thank you 💕

[anakiddwrites]

Oooh so they are looking for the most interesting story that's cool :3 and relatable as a writer hehe sometimes what is most satisfying isnt so obvious... very intriguing!!

It really isn't always obvious, isn't it? Sometimes it only comes to you, against your outline, when you're already two-thirds into your story :D thank you 💕
