Just wanted to throw out here before the match starts that the ingredients list we've collectively assembled is one of my favorites I've seen in IronDM. Makes me wish I was competing and I'm really excited to see what you two do with them!

Gradine and CleverNickName, your judgment is up.

Round 2, Match 2 Round 2, Match 2: Here's how I judge: My first pass will be literary: how well does it read? Are there typos? Is it coherent? Is the phrasing awkward, awesome, or ambivalent? Did the writing help or hurt the entry? Does the adventure tell a good story? Second pass will...

I've got a super-busy next couple of days. I'm getting my first reads done now, but may not be until Monday before I'm able to get the full judgment up.

Before I begin, let me say that I probably how you are feeling right now. The flash of excitement and nervousness that the judgment is up after checking it constantly since the second entry went up, the conviction that your just wrote something amazingly creative under intense time pressure and...

Off to consider my judgement. Feel free to talk post-writing about your entries now that they are done and before the judgement. I've copy-pasted them into a doc and won't read anything else in this thread until after I post my judgment so don't worry about me reading them.

MortalPlague and Mister-Kent, your match is up!

Nothing from Gradine, Mister-Kent or tglassy, you ready to go instead? Whichever of you replies first goes so we can hopefully get MortalPlague going before 1pm today. I'll check the thread regularly when I can and will start the match as soon as I get a confirmation. I'll assume that works for...

I'm going to bed but will check in on the thread again tomorrow when I get up. If you've checked in by then Gradine, plan on having some ingredients dropped at around 6-7am PT. If you haven't checked in by then, we'll try to get someone else up.

Gradine and MortalPlague, sounds like you two work best with a start tonight so I think you're up. I'll check back in a couple hours when I'm done with dinner and family stuff. If you both have posted by then, I'll get you started about 8-9 PT (2ish hours from now).

Congrats Gradine - truly excellent adventure!

Thanks, Rune, for judging! I agree with pretty much all of your points, the below is just commentary in the off chance anyone is interested. I originally started to plot out a fantasy adventure which I find the easiest as you can make a world that fits perfectly for the ingredients. Then I read...

Whew! Done with the 1st draft. 1500 words feels simply luxurious. Now to sit on it over night to make sure it holds up tomorrow. I love how you never know where these adventures are going to take you until you sit down to write them!

I'm good indefinitely.

Works for me.

I'm busy today then free from the 1st on.
