Still not meant to be mocking. I did some of these myself, but not too many.
Oh, and Ciwey, I'm reading The Raising Hand program, have recently finished 72 Hours, took a look at What if we're next and some other fics of which I don't remember the titles. I don't post this type of fics without doing some research first.
Thanks for the reviews.
Oh, and I see EVERYONE misinterpreted 4.2 in the first chapter. I didn't mean switching in third-person. I meant lots of people telling what's happening in first person.
More random stuff that you CAN do…
Give around an insane amount of firearms (8399325 different brands and types of pistols/shotguns/machine guns).
Give around an equally insane amount of useless stuff.
Scratch that, useless stuff can prove useful – OMG SURPRISE SURPRISE! – whaddaya know, some random useless background character got killed with a stick!
The last person MUST die by a bullet.
Scratch that, someone escapes.
The villain MUST die by a bullet nonetheless.
Even if he's wearing the bulletproof vest.
Even if you've seen they don't die if you fire anywhere from their waist up to their neck, just keep shooting there until you're out of bullets.
Even if you realise they're wearing a bulletproof vest, keep firing at their stomach.
Just keep firing at people's stomach. Some of them will probably die, except the one with the bulletproof vest, which dramaturgy says is the one that has to kill you.
Or your best friend.
Or anyone, which in the end makes your last bullet (obviously aimed at their stomach) stray and hit their head.
Worry a lot about getting chosen for the Program; that's a sure-fire way to actually get chosen.
Worry a lot about having to kill people. You'll probably end up killing your best friend by accident.
Or not by accident, but you shouldn't say that out loud.
When stumbling upon some other kid, don't care about their relationship with you; kill them.
When stumbling upon some other kid who wants to kill you, don't kill them – bind them with anything that comes in handy (rope, yo-yo string, your school cravat, poisonous snake…) and carry them around with you.
Even if you want to win the Program.
And you're not trying to use them as human shields.
And you're not torturing them.
If you win the Program make sure you're almost dead.
Lose at least a limb, an eye, or any other VISIBLE part.
Look as if you've just been pulled out of a dog's mouth.
Spend months or even years in hospital.
Slip into a coma.
Die of your injuries.
Scratch that, commit suicide.
Wait with that, kill the Program coordinator first.
DO NOT shoot them. Be creative!
Seriously, I'm still wondering why winners always look like bloody pulps. Before you give me the obvious answer: take the original. What if Kiriyama had won? How would he look?
