We've Got WARD

This week on We've Got Ward it's finally time to wrap up Arc 5: Shadow as we discuss 5.y, Jonathan's interlude. Then, after taking a bit of time to discuss Arc 5 as a whole we move right on into Arc 6: Pitch with Chapter 6.1. Yes, the title of this episode says Arc 5 (Final) It's still technically true. Be nice to us.

And the winner of the 3rd Quarterly Worm Fanart contest is...

DISCUSSION QUESTION OF THE WEEK

We've been asking plot- and character-centric questions so far, but this week we would like to shift the focus to the prose. This is something we had always hoped to do with We've Got Ward, spend more time on word choice, style, symbolism, examples of one piece of text serving multiple functions. So, the question: What's your favorite short piece of prose from this week's reading, and why?

This week on We've Got Ward we continue our analysis of the eternal Arc 5: Shadow with chapters 5.10 and 5.11. Valefor joins the battle and both the Misfit Toys and Hollow Point find themselves under the sway of his power. They escape due to some clever thinking by Victoria, but not without dealing some serious mental damage to all parties. A lull in the battle is broken when Ashley, pushed a bit too far by Bob, totally ignores Victoria's 75% rule by removing 100% of his chest. All sides reel from Ashley's sudden murder, but there's no time to consider the consequences just yet...as the war rages on.

DISCUSSION QUESTION OF THE WEEK

How should Ashley be punished for the murder of Bob, if she should at all? Why?

The third quarterly fan art contest ends on 4/4 at MIDNIGHT SUBMIT NOW!!!
