That's enough motivation for me. BTW how many more shows do we have before KC? Last years schedule had 4, and we've had 1, so should we expect the same?
I seem to remember one of creative (FalKon maybe?) saying we had 4 shows between LL and KC...
I don't have some massive objection to receiving feedback; I'm just realistic about the probability of me listening to anything that anyone else has to say. I would rather see people provide feedback for someone who is actually going to get something out of it.
Sounds arrogant; but it really isn't.

I've hidden an easter egg whe writing my piece for Ascension... well, it's not really an egg: more like us breaking the fourth wall of sorts.
And to the four shows question: yes there are.

It's not, because you actually do write for a living, but I'm sure if I nitpicked I could find something for you to improve.
Oh no; that's not the reason it's not arrogant. What I do or do not do for a living has absolutely no bearing on the quality of my writing, which is why I'm always so fucking evasive when it gets brought up.
There are shed loads of things that people could point out for me to improve; here, I'll give you a handful of them.
My proof reading sucks. My submissions are way too high concept for my audience, frequently loaded with obscure references to classic literature that I'm certain that nobody picks up on. I fall into the same narrative tropes on a regular basis (See: Black Dragon has a massive emo off). I usually pay as little attention to the happenings in the federation as possible. My non-linear storytelling and obsession with pro/analepsis aren't fun for the reader when presented two weeks apart and only serve to be confusing. I shamelessly reuse metaphor when I can't be bothered to think or something original (go count the number of times I'll alluded to the Sword of Damocles) and I haven't managed to present a compelling flash back to date.
I hold no illusions that I'm some world class talent; there are a thousand things I could do better, I'm just not all that interested in doing them.
If I was taking the competitive side of this seriously then I'd try to address all of these issues, but I'm not, I'm simply trying to enjoy myself. Obscure literary references, obsessive continuity and all the other things I do make my penis feel all tingly. I'm writing for myself; if I win matches then fantastic, but if I don't then I'm probably not going to change my style or the story that I'm trying to tell, because that's where the fun is for me.
That's why feedback for me is essentially a waste; I'm not really fixated on getting better; I just want to enjoy myself, and hopefully bring a few people along for the ride.

I am sad to say, as a mathematician that I only understood about a third of that. I agree with you on one point though, I just enjoy writing the RPs and I have a definite long term plan for my character. If I ever get there I'll be happy but I agree it's just for fun. I however, do care about winning, mostly for reasons I won't go into (too long and too depressing). Then again if this were just one portion of the writing I do on a regular basis I'm sure I would use it to experiment a little.
What you call cliche I call a motif though, the recurring elements that show it's a black dragon RP.
The thing I find most bizarre is that when I'm reading I abhor first person. Yet when writing it comes fairly naturally.
