*wave* Heyla all. Good to see this going again. Luck to all the competitors and I'll just stand back here and warm myself by the fire as I wait for the roasting. Zhaneel

You're not rude. I understand. I dropped out only once, however. And I understand your problem there. If that prevents me from ever particpating again, I will accept that. Zhaneel

My thoughts: Is there a rule that says we have to have the same 3 judges for all stories in the competition? I think what would be best would be to do the 3-day sign-up period. Then figure out the number of matches. If it is 8 or less, I think we've got the pattern down now. If it is more...

Congrats on the baby! And thanks for the help. Zhaneel

Okay, I'm not using this thread for its intended purpose. PC, please don't kill me. Basically you guys are people I feel like I can ask and didn't know how else to reach you all and what forum would be correct. I am participating in the Eberron novel writing open call. And I am having the...

Loved Orchid's story. Very well done, very succient. I actually think it works quite well as is and loved the endline. The comments about what happens to Nigel and the importance of the knight are valid. Berandor's is an interesting story, but not one that I cared for in the overall moral...

Dude!!!!!! Okay, maybe I'm just off here [helps that I've been dealing with something completely NOT Ceramic DM] but... um... aren't those easy? I mean there is a major theme just leaping out of the pics and dancing. I remember hard finals. With *hands* and weird stuff. *resists urge to...

Well duh!!!! If we spilt up we'll find the monster faster. Oh, and if we lose our virginity. Who's up for that? Zhaneel

Berandor, I think it looks great... but then I'm weird. Zhaneel

Which story? Just curious. Zhaneel

Out of curiosity, what products would you like to see then? I mean, we know they've got at least 3 novels planned already. Most of which should just be setting style stuff, but might have some more advance about the wars/allainces. And I can't see certain campaigns being planned for the...

BSF's story Very interesting. I have notes about the story and now realize I didn't note much about the picture usage. Which means, to me, they were so well integrated that I didn't think about them. Let's see, the bird pic was excellently used. Very morbid, very well done. Loved the...

Hey, I wasn't the one who outed you. And I'm glad you are. Then you can write that novel we're all dying to read. Zhaneel

You're so cute when you have excuses! ;-) *hugs* Zhaneel

I vote for random. That way it is not just on the basis of who had time near each other. Zhaneel

For the record: I have not been published. I have been studying the publishing industry of SF/F for about 7 years (since 1998 or my first year in college). I have 12 rejections from pro & semi-pro magazines for my short fiction. So, I'm working on being published, but I'm not yet. Noskov, I...

MacBeth, I recently went through something like this when I looked at the last round for a story to workshop. I ended up choosing Vritra's Return for the following reasons: 1. Hardest one to write. 2. Went over the best with most people who read all three. 3. Most unique [how many Indian...

Congrats To Berandor, Congrats for moving on. Reposted from the other thread (my comments): Berandor Interesting story. I am left feeling a little confused. Basically, I got very early on that Robert was either a clone or a Robot. I'm a loss as to how he misunderstood his name tag and as to...

MarauderX – Recruiting Very interesting. You & Berandor both picked a chilly theme in the future. Interesting. I liked the main character early on. He was easy to relate to and I thought I understood his motivations. I liked him being bright enough to want to learn about the various...

I really like Sialia's explanation. I have a hard time controlling the tone/voice/style of story. I generally manage to force a 3rd person close POV, but that's 'cause I'm anal. I'll have to keep in mind the comparisons. I don't think about my stories that way. But then, I'm generally...
