FFR's (not quite) First Literary Contest

Re: FFR's First Literary Contest

Precisely why I'm asking who will take his place. I know foil was requested, but he declined for whatever his reason(s) may have been. I'm not aware of any other potential candidates, but I trust rzr would find a good candidate.

If he's wanting to sign up for both competitions like he was hinting at, I'm getting the idea he's really enthusiastic about participating instead of judging.

EDIT: rzr, you should change the front post stating the word limit of the one-day competition from 1500 to 1800, as per the compromise.

Agreed.

Re: FFR's First Literary Contest

I'm going to go in on this (quick break from Nanowrimo) for the one day part. Also, thirty seconds with the search function: http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/...ad.php?t=85271 . =)

Also, rzr, how are you going to be able to tell that someone didn't just give you something they wrote a while ago?

EDIT:

Someone write a story in 2nd Person

I will try my best.

Re: FFR's First Literary Contest

I would do this, but the one day would be the only thing that would really work. Even then, only specific days. If it was going to be this coming Tuesday that a one day will happen, then sure.

Well rzr hasn't set a specific date - he says "until we're done", which I presume means a good turnout. Perhaps he'll be able to bend the start date to go around other people's schedules (I'll ask for clarification, though). If so, maybe he can get it to start on that day.

Re: FFR's First Literary Contest

We obviously won't start with, like, 4 people. Maybe 8-10 minimum.

Re: FFR's First Literary Contest

I'll join for the one week division. I can write anything right? Oh and starting from right now I have have 1 week, or will there be a start time?

[rzr]

Re: FFR's First Literary Contest

There will be an official starting time.


And you know what, we don't have a fool proof way to make sure people aren't giving us their old work. If a judge feels it's fake then they can judge it accordingly. I mean, if I get something submitted for the one day that has 10,000 words, I'm not buying it.

EDIT: I found another Judge if Phynx would rather participate.

Re: FFR's First Literary Contest

No no no, I'm not actually participating as a contestant. I'm only putting myself in there for fun. Kind of how I do with my tournaments, I just put myself there for fun. I'm not playing for prizes or anything. This just could be good inspiration for me to write some more.

Re: FFR's (not quite) First Literary Contest

Oh, ok, cool. Yes, you can write about anything. Also, compliments to Squeek for the title edit. I'll try to get it moved to Events to get attention. Let's throw it in our signatures, jon.

Put me in one day division. I haven't read the whole thread, but when is the one day division day taking place?

He said both competitions will start when there are enough participants. In an earlier post, he stated 8-10 would most likely be the starting number.

In for both.
PM when it starts would be appreciated.

Re: FFR's (not quite) First Literary Contest

I'll update everything now. Would you guys, not just the judges, mind advertising? Tell your friends, signatures, etc. What I HOPE to do is make this successful enough to have it as an ongoing contest, perhaps with more divisions. But, you guys all know how ambitious I am.
