Huh.

The bottom of that post is incorrect - looks like you've got some bad code in those links.

A Friday start would work well for me. Thanks to BSF for providing very tough competition, as always!

*whistles innocently* Just passing by...

I edit as I go, too, which helps me in two ways: 1. I seem to have less to edit when I'm done. 2. Going back over previously written material seems to help me find connections that I'd otherwise miss. In situations where I'm the only one who has input to my work before the story is finalized...

Heh - I've got plenty more. ;)

While we're wating, I thought I'd ask a question of my esteemed competitors, in the hope of generating some discussion that might be useful to new competitors. Do you have any sort of technique for beginning your stories? I generally tend to look at one of the pictures, and try and interpret it...

Comments Comments on all of the stories from this round: Piratecat: Just wonderful. I’ve seen the “Christ is alive and well and living in Hoboken” concept before – just not from this angle. Usually, the conspiracy is to keep the messiah safe – not to kill him off, so this was refreshing and...

Three, Two, One, Go As with the first round, this turned out a bit long, so I'm attaching a pdf to the post: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ceramic DM – Winter 2007: Round 2, Match 1 carpedavid vs. BardStephenFox Three, Two, One, Go Shoji checked...

Ugh. Done. I'll look it over for typos and such in the morning and post it then.

Well, I've got a story, of sorts. The question is whether I'm going to have time enough to tell it all. Also, This story has considerably less pathos than the previous one, but considerably more rockabilly. If only I could attach a soundtrack. I haven't had a chance to read PC and Berandor's...

Oh, come on - those are easy. I mean, you could do... *erm* *umm* *hrm* Nope, I got nothin'.

Wow! Thanks, Sialia! I wasn't previously familiar with that song, but now that I've looked it up, I can say yes, that's just about perfect.

Thanks, MaxfieldJadenFox, for the tough competition! I wasn't previously familiar with your writing, but I know now that I'll be very nervous should we ever meet again. :D

Indeed! I'm looking forward to it. Great competition makes for great stories. :D Starting Sunday would be best, but any time after that would also work.

*waves* :D

Indeed. While timely judgments are appreciated by all, I know how much time it can take. When I ran/judged the Iron DM tournaments, I read each entry four to five times, and then wrote an average of 1500 words for each match. It was thoroughly exhausting. That said, I'm checking my email for...

Thanks for the comments Gulla! I'll echo Piratecat and say that it's great that you're commenting on every story. I know that, as a writer, it's always immensely satisfying to get constructive feedback - good or bad.

Comments: Maxfieldjadenfox - one of the other ideas I had was "Polynesian Danger Force," and I think your story captured that spirit beautifully. It was very fun :) Berandor - the giant insect picture was the one that I definitely felt was the biggest stretch. At one point I did have the...

A Late Aubade This turned out a bit longer than I expected. Not Sialia long, mind you, but still long enough to be a pain to read on screen. So I'm attaching a pdf of the text in addition to the post. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------...
