Don't be hating on Vain, he's only 12 yet. He will grow up, hopefully.
(He's my 3rd cousin or something, our families meet up for stuff like christmas and other events)

You've got one hell of a shitty cousin then, let's be honest here.

Yeah I know, nothing I can do though.
You can slap the stupid out of him.

I once accidentally hit my other cousin, my parents were furious.
My mom fell into depression because "I will grow up to be a criminal and end up in jail" while dad simply raged and wouldn't speak with me for some days.
I don't want that to happen again...
Wow this guy is a real piece of shit.
Dude, this sounds like fun. I don't really like being told what I have to write about, but I bet I could have some fun with a challenge like this. Cool idea, calling out writers.
I might play around with this tomorrow. I can't promise I'll stick to every teensy detail you laid out if I actually start getting into it, but I would do my very best.

I don't particularly like your recommendation of giving detailed descriptions of every character. Getting too specific with character and scene descriptions makes for a boring read. The trick is to apply a small set of unique traits to each character, telling the reader everything important about him/her with as few words as possible, and allowing the reader to fill in all the blank spots. Imagination is incredibly powerful, it just needs a little direction.
Oh nooo!, the challenges have extended to Creationism corner!

The idea was to make him really do his homework and work exclusively on getting character descriptions down and making sure he can really write descriptions of the environment so that you can see it in front of you, you are very much correct that one shouldn't feed everything to the reader.
This is why I wanted him to do just that, so that he knows how to describe things before going of and only leaving slight hints. It's like when you want to draw cartoons and things that doesn't have natural proportions, you still need to know how to draw realistic before drawing things that are not.
