That's an idea, but then a lot of people might simply not turn up. A competitor may decide to bear the costs of travelling to a regional competition if there are two seats to compete for, but not if there's only one.
Imagine you're Israeli. Would you purchase a flight to and from, say, Taipei, to take part in the Asian championship, if you knew Mitsuko was going to be there, and there were only one seat to be won there for the world championship?
Yeah, I see what you mean, though there cound be other ways. I think ther are specialised competitions, like the worlds strongest, that lets anyone who's held the title auto-qualify, for just as you said, you don't want obvious qualified people keeping good new entries from entering.
Like I said the lack of regional slots would be a one time occurrence as the slots would go to where there is talent after that. But I suppose the IVC could encourage people to enter in other ways, like for instance announce that the top five or ten would have all expenses paid for their trip, at least for the qualifying tournaments they hold directly. That way contestants will still think twice before entering, but if they feel certain that they could be in the top five they have suddenly little to lose.
bedfordsb wrote:Definitely a lot to think about there! I think sorting out a more coherent structure for the IVC is a really good idea. What I have in mind for the Chicago competition, as you'll have seen from my new story ("IVC Launch Event") is a mini-crisis for the IVC, with fewer volunteers as prey and a lack of judgment and direction in organising the event. Allowing a pretty unpleasant "satellite celebrity" (Baylee Krystle) to take part when she'd not been a contestant in any previous vore competitions is an example of that, as is tying up with a reality show ("America's Top Voress"). The IV Council will also have to resort to other gimmicks to try to generate more interest and volunteers, though I haven't thought what yet.
I don’t see her as being a first time contender as being any kind of problem, the way to enter the contest have been a tad kept in the dark anyhow, especially seeing how a large percentage of the contestants at every event have failed to get more than a handful prey down, something that is embarrassing, not just for the contestants, but for the competition.
That she’s a celebrity shouldn’t disallow her from entering the contest should it? Perhaps her reasons for doing so should though.

I see no problem with someone throwing up. It would add a touch of realism. .
Agreed, though I suppose it should disqualify the contender.
As for drop-outs that happens too, luckily the IVC isn’t a competition that needs a set number of contestants, like a tournament for example would.
French_snack wrote:If you’re looking for things that can go wrong, how about a prey changing his/her mind and shouting “No!” just as he/she’s swallowed. That would leave the organisers with a difficult decision to make. Do they try to get the prey volunteer out of the stomach? It would mean pulling the pred competitor out of the competition immediately, and would probably imply getting everyone else out of her stomach too. The alternative being to do nothing, and leave the volunteer to be digested. I’m sure volunteers have to sign a form saying that if they change their mind once they’re in the mouth it may be too late, and they can’t expect to be retrieved if they’re swallowed. But it would raise moral implications.
The very first IVC story mentions just such a rule and I think the point of no return was quite early really, like once picked up and brought towards the mouth. And I see no problem with sending such a prey down, they are sabotaging the competition, be it voluntarily or not.
One reason I can think of to having the point of no return that early is to discourage hand held giantess fans from volunteering and bailing out at the last minute.
bedfordsb wrote:The next story I'm planning will be a "script" format of Baylee at a chat show on cable TV just before the IVC, to provide some background on her, show what an unappealing personality she is and emphasise her lack of knowledge of vore. However, I reckon she should still be capable of eating a surprising number of people on the day (but nowhere near a winning score) on the basis that anyone can perform well on the day, plus she's had a bit of advice - probably I think from Tiff at the Vore Restaurant. Mona won't be too happy about that.
Well I do not doubt that she can be as full of herself as humanly possible, I do however doubt that she’d get on a show and make a fool of herself.
Most celebrities has a personal trainer and a manager, the latter of which would no doubt ensure she got someone to train her for the event in question. You’d probably never hear of any of them seeing as she’s only interested in promoting herself, not the ones helping her.
I’m not sure if she’s that kind of celebrity, but there are those that do a lot for getting airtime and good contracts and the way you’ve introduced her now makes her sound as if she was in a bit desperate situation and those are usually the times a celeb is willing to do quite a bit more than usual to get noticed.
I mean Mr Smith put on 35 pounds of muscle for the role in Ali, that requires quite a bit of effort especially for someone who’s already in good shape.
I’ve forgotten the name, but I saw another lesser celebrity that put on 40 kilos (90 lbs) of fat because the character was supposed to be fat and then a few months after the movie had worked it all off to be attractive again.
As for scandal, I’m still sure she’s capable of that, I mean she could be anything from put off from the erect penises of the shinkies she gets to being a berating bitch about it, of course they want to be eaten by her, she’s BK after all… She might even pay them so little attention that some who want to pull out doesn’t get her attention and goes down anyway, seeing as her attention is no doubt divided between two things, herself and the cameras. (Could be that no one is close enough to hear them but her and that the supposed unwilling eaten person scandal is just speculation since no one actually heard them.)

The IVC has suffered from the absence of Cherry of course and I was planning for her not to appear at Chicago - maybe put off by the bad planning and unwilling to leave her young family or bring them with her. But the idea of her making a grand comeback in Canada sounds excellent to me.
Quick comment here: I used Canada as a random example. It doesn’t mean that the next IVC after the US one will necessarily be in Canada. But Cherry probably
will make a comeback, yes.
As for who should host it… Well, that will be up to whoever writes it. Probably me, I suppose, unless anyone else here wants to pick up the baton.
Canada is a definite possibility. As would be any European country. Or East Asia; for some reason, I imagine vore might be quite popular in South Korea, as well as Japan (which has already hosted the event). Latin America would be a remote but possibly interesting possibility.
Cherry is a celebrity that obviously brings a lot of prey, as evident by previous stories, but it would be nice to see that the competition doesn’t rise and fall due to the presence or absence of a single person. (I think the fact that you’re two writers is awesome as well)
Heck it just struck me, with the anime-japan fixation that’s evident in much of the vore community, wouldn’t Mitsuko have a large American following, perhaps a European one as well?
bedfordsb wrote:And Throku's idea that countries of a less ethical status than others might want to compete for prestige reasons sounds very workable. There'd have to be something a bit questionable going on - maybe the competitor could be a female member of the secret police, practising on political prisoners ... best make up a country for that one ! That could be one of the late entrants for Chicago
Heh, afraid she’d practice on you?
French_snack wrote:Combining that with the question about hosting, there might even be a hosting controversy one day… What if a somewhat repressive country somehow gains hosting rights, and there’s a significant human rights scandal shortly before the event? Who would boycott? Would a parallel competition be hastily organised, among boycotting competitors?
[/quote][/quote]
Hmm…I somehow find it difficult to see a few contestants being able to hold a competition of their own, though it might bring forth a few new faces on the field, especially if the scandal in question has to do with the competition in some way. Perhaps the way the host country has trained their contestants?
Oh and regarding the news report
:
The TV-reality show that's supposed to produce a contestant isn't some cannibalistic version of Survivor by any chance? (Yeah I saw the "top voress" entry, but it said American, still as host nation I suppose it can have its own quirks, like the host nation of an Olympics game being allowed to participate in all events even ones they have never qualified in. I remember the female Italy vs Canada hockey game last winter Olympics (the opening game), it was hilarious, if the Canadian girls would have been allowed to vore the Italian helpless little snacks on skates, then they would have been eaten and digested within just a couple of minutes.)
And I think I'm looking forward to Tonya's appearance, I've just never been able to shake the images of the poolside performance girls from my visit to the Dominican Republic even though it's been well over a decade
It's not just the good looks of the ladies, but they know how to move, have great humour and just have an amazing energy.
I assume the latter means they tend to have quite active metabolisms.
I also noticed Mona’s stats, in the Vore restaurant you say she’s fairly tall then, possibly six foot tall and in the news report she’s five foot five, which is average at the best of times. What’s up with that? She got shrunk and not returned fully to normal?
(Yeah I haven't read all the stories yet...am working on that though, great reading you've got there guys
)
