There's this thread about avatars here that made me consider changing mine. So I'll probably use a new avatar for each round I advance, and when I lose, I'll keep the current one. Or perhaps I shouldn't reward the losing picture and switch to the next avatar in line? Hmm... choices. Of...

400 posts, and still round 1. Wow.

There's no way Martin Scorcese will win an Academy Award (not counting Lifetime Achievement), ever! So I'm betting on Greengrass :)

Edit: This thread made me change my avatar. It's now a picture of a girl looking at the camera (surprise!).

The easiest thing would be to quote a spoiler comment :) Other than that, use {sblock} and {/sblock} for the collapsible ones, only in []. For the other ones, I forgot how to do them. Edit: it's {spoiler} and {/spoiler} Test I wonder whether I can give an sblock a title by using sblock=title

Comments on the last match-up: maxfieldjadenfox: Yours is an interesting story, though I can't decide whether it's a coming-of-age theme or more like a superhero creation story :) I somewhat missed a stronger characterization of the protagonist/narrator; she comes off as pretty care-free, and...

What else are they going to do? Try to outwrite Shakespeare?

See? :)

Normally, this would mean disqualification, yes. Whether the judges leave it up to tadk to allow or disallow your entry is their call; both has happened in the past. However, its also possible that even in case of a disqualification, you'll get some comment on your story by the judges simply for...

tadk, I'm not sure a babelfish-translation would work. I'd rather give you a rundown on the story (in sblocks). Dramatis Personae: Robert, our protagonist Simon Schuster, his employee and mentor Tim, a rogue hedge wizard Anne, an employee of Simon Schuster extras Frame narrative 1 Robert...

Ahh! I looked! That's totally okay in my book. After all, it was still his daughter, and most of the connected guys try to do it their own way or no way; his way didn't work out, but that's no reason to sic the cops on her. And perhaps a little thaw was there, too, deathbed and all. I always...

1. comment on drawmack's response to my response. Ah, I see. Perhaps stressing the parody a little more would help in getting that better across then? E.g. "By now you're probably expecting a hard interrogation. In reality, though, people like to talk, even about things they shouldn't. My job...

Thanks be the judges! :) Seriously, very good feedback once again, I'll try and take it to heart for round 2. Speaking of which, is there already a proposed schedule, or do you plan to wait until the whole first round is judged? You realize there are only two options now? Either I will only...

Since yangnome seems to be occupied, I'll divert myself by a short commentary on drawmack's entry. Sam Spade detective stories are always fun! I think your entry suffered from some flaws, however. First, and most importantly: conflict – where is it? The protagonist just goes from one scene to...

You mean, like... now?
