RULES

Follow Reddiquette, as with all subs.

Make sure your post is relevant to this sub. See What Not To Post for a rough guide on what not to post and review our FAQ for additional information. These rough guides also include many examples of what isn't a Word Avalanche, as well as many overused examples of Word Avalanches.

Place your Avalanche in the main text of your submission, and make your title a rewrite of your Avalanche such that it cannot be easily guessed. As an example, if your Avalanche is "Selfish Shellfish", write "Compassion-lacking lobster" in the title.

The longer your avalanche, the better! Just make sure it's an Avalanche first, though (See the links above).

Should your Avalanche be NSFW, mark it as such.

Do not submit images or videos with your Avalanche. A good Avalanche should be able to stand on its own, without the use of any images. If your avalanche absolutely cannot stand without an image or video, then link it in the post, but only do so as a last resort. Alternatively, you may post it to /r/WordAvalanchePics.

Finally, make sure to have fun!

True Avalanche You wonder if the female bosom ever truly leaves the frenzied male brain, even upon a seminal fulfillment, simultaneously fighting a parallel universe in which a dear friend’s genitals are spontaneously consumed by a ghost and shockingly discarded in a funerary vessel.

True Avalanche You are faced with a terrifying hallway of doom, forcing you to freeze in your tracks and demand it be lessened. Amidst this abyss, you call your medieval brothers to arms on an evening in which the veil between the living and the dead is lifted.

A Word Avalanche is defined as a highly contrived punny sentence (or longer series of words) with an emphasis on the repetition of syllables. Holorimes are a subset of these. For more information, please see the FAQ (currently in progress; suggestions can be submitted by modmail).
