Ok, I'll give an example. Could it be something else but exploring family ties. Like I have a feature about vampires biting only their own. Does it answer the theme?

I thought about writing 'writer' in there. Last minute changed it to my creation/character.

Wow. I'm going to let Sean answer that one.
If he doesn't I'll give you my opinion.

I believe in letting the reviewers decide. I don't want to tell you what you can or can't write. Sounded fine to me, though.

Okay, Kham, I might have the wrong end of the stick with your vampire story... Sounds interesting btw. So, just go with what Blondie said and I'll say no more. Better get looking at the elements again.

I've always thought it meant blood...family ties.. Are thicker than "water"...non family. Like if you had to choose a side, you would choose your family.

Well, to me it depends with the example you gave Kham if your vampires were in anyway affected in a bad way. I'll just say... The proverb means family comes first. Above everyone else. Loyalty, sacrifice etc.

Ah, but hang on...
There's another meaning contrary to the classic belief:
“Blood is thicker than water.”
The quote comes from: “The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb.” This actually means that blood shed in battle bonds soldiers more strongly than simple genetics. Although we commonly use it to suggest the strength of family ties, it doesn't refer to family at all
From a site called 35 quotations we've been getting wrong.
https://thoughtcatalog.com/nico-lang/2013/09/31-famous-quotations-youve-been-getting-wrong/ I still think modern usage refers to family coming first though.
Already a conundrum... or an extra choice, if you see it that way.

Quick question - with you listing the genres again does that mean we can reuse genres or are we not allowed to the use the genre we or our partners from last week used?

this may not be the right thread for this question but here goes... when voting, I assume we don't vote on ours, obviously, but we do vote for our buddy even though we will know the script. I would imagine it would be cleaner not to vote on theirs but that may not be the intention ta

We vote on our Buddy's script, Bill. Review as normal. Just not our own. Blondie hopes we can post reviews on our Buddy's without prejudice. I can't trawl through his exact words but that was the crux of it.

Quoted from Blondie
By the time the Tournament is done, every genre, object, location and character will be used once and only once.

Thanks for the clarification! As for this weeks topic, I see it as loyalty. Week 1 was greed, this is more about some element binding people together. Family is the most obvious choice because of blood, but I think you can be flexible, like the brothers-in-arms example or a family of vampires. I'm certainly going to be flexible in my scoring as long as I can see the element in there.
