SRD Sorry CH, meant to answer that. We hired an intern to get us caught up on the SRD. He is currently sitting in a little cube slitting envelopes. So as soon as we get all the entries processed we will set him on that task. AV

Alright lets assume you are correct. What products do you put out? A) Three products 1) All crunch 2) All cream 3) a mix Result: You make your margin on product 1, you fail to make your margin on 2 and 3. Why? Because those who like crunch will buy product #1 but not 2 (sales 80 units). Those...

Bean counters Folks, I would like to stand up here for a moment and let everyone know that when you talk about bean counters who don't know anything about gaming or the industry or don't care about consumers you are talking about me (a guy who has been gaming since High School, in the industry...

Psst... hey buddy. Hate to break it to you but larger books sell more copies then smaller books (by alot). Smaller books means less copies sold, higher production costs lower revenue and lower and lower profits both! AV

Folks, Just to let you know how the setting search is going. Well we have our admin and intern doing nothing all day but slitting envelopes. We have added some new judges and revamped our judging system. And we are all plugging away as fast as we can. Can't tell you how many submission we have...

test Hopefully this attaches a photo of our Admin. Asst. Christina surrounded by one days worth of mail. AV

Morning all Folks, And to top it all off I'm sick. It just never ends around here. Legal has brought in a temp and we have hired an intern to try to help us keep up. Mail is finally slowing down probably only a thousand new entries today. My favorite writing story: End of the day Truman...

Helllp! Hellp, helllp, I'm drowning! [sinks below sea of 8 1/2" X 11" papers] AV

This is a truely blind process. Submissions are numbered by their arrival. We have no way of knowing who sent us the submission. If someone tried to subvert the process, say by casually putting thier name in the middle of the page, that submission would be disqualified. AV

This might be true if this were a contest, but it is not. It is an open call for submissions. There is a process for the selection of submission and there is a stated offering of a dollar amount for the purchase of full rights to the submission selected (ownere of the submission selected may...

Its Monday Folks, Saw the bins of mail this morning. We are so doomed. AV p.s. Don't sweat the order of the paper in your submission. That was a misread of the word "covered" on my part. p.p.s I'm not kidding, we are really hosed over here.

Folks we have a winner! The real contest was to see who the first person was to send us a submission with exactly 666 words. Woot! woot! AV:D

We are okay with that as well, we're big on religous tolerance. AV

Folks, So we've tossed about 10% but in that time we have not had a more than one page submission until today. I knew it would happen someone decided that the rule applies to everyone else but not to me because I (and my world) are *special*. After we've awarded the $100,000 I think I'll read it...

Folks, The flood has well and truly begun. Don't expect to see too much of us in the next two to three weeks. AV

Folks, Welcome to the last week to get it postmarked! Okay, things that I can cover: 1) Our admin is named Christina. You can make her happy by a) following the rules so she doesn't have to take the time to toss your submission b) she likes big envelopes more than small envelopes with folded...

Re: A4 We would accept the A4 and you are betting correctly all three must be sent. AV

Re: Argh ! This is fine as long as each submission has its own agreement form. AV

READ IMPORTANT!!! All, Our PR department sent out an erroneous e-mail late yesterday saying that you had to have a PDF file burned to CD (or some such wonkiness). Ignore it completely. Please let everyone know that it was an error on our PR department and it can be safely ignored. All that...

Re: Re: Ouch My advice, don't try to "game" the submission. Don't try to predict what we want. Just submit you're very best idea. If your world has a story then submit that, if it doesn't have a main story but is more like FR (alot of little stories) submit that. If you try to out think us...
