Nobody's keeping a record, MooMoo. And I won't bust your ass if you're describing a scene with text speak. Example:

"Jenny replied "I'll c u 2maro" in that chat room."

That's a part of the story. It can reflect Jenny's character. However, a statement like:

"Den da monstr attackd"

will show up low on my grammar/spelling meter.

Some of my favorite short stories would get terrible grades by your rubric.

I was thinking about entering until I saw the requirements. They're just strict enough to be lame.

I'd prefer a contest that was either much more strict or much less strict.

I was giving you a reference to build off of. Why is everyone so hell bent on belittling our idea?

That's to emphasize an accent or dialect or both and I agree, it can get old.

However, many fanfics end up exactly like that so...

And rzr, like nearly anything written by Faulkner.

I'd say Joyce but I'll never read anything by him so it'd be cheap of me to site him. /lazy

I'm giving the contest a bit more sign up time because of my ban. Plus, DGZ can't participate today. We really want more people, guys. C'mon, keep your eyes open and spread the word!

Well, Chaz is the lucky one who ou to kill our spirits. So, we're not really still too eager to do this. Butterfly and I were going to start it today, but I haven't heard from her since... I don't know when. I suppose I can run it myself, because I haven't heard from Bynary or Phynx, either. Go figure, lol. Just give me the word if ya'll still interested. If not, I'm giving Bynary back his credits and it was a nice thought we tossed around until a few guys decided to kill it.

Go for it... worst thing that can happen is some people write a story

Just be sure to give everyone a few days notice by PM before you're going to start the week-long one, and be sure to try to get some sort of consensus for the one day contest.
