Ceramic DM - Spring 2005 (Late Bloomer) - Signups complete

[Berandor]

I'm a friday kind of guy, with wednesday as second choice (since you'd probably post them afternoonish for me, that'd give me a nice saturday finishing day )

But I'll take what I get, as well as who I get. My pencil has been sharpened (now I just have to figure out how to type on my Mac with a pencil), my mind is eversharp, and I am itching to show you all how it's done. I think. Well, I am itching, anyway. You know that spot on your back you cannot reach even if you're a olympic contortionist? Yeah, that's exactly where it itches. Oh, well.

BSF, could you, when you post an ETA on the pics (and this time, I don't mean "Edited To Add"), post the current time stamp for you? I suck at calculating time zones.

I vote for Friday followed by Wednesday as well. For my own personal reasons.
I guess everyone else voting for that just likes to lose on a weekend

Aaron
p.s. FireLance, I appreciate you keeping me in mind. And you had some great stories last time! In that spirit, I'm going to dedicate winning this contest (=beating you) to you .

Any day is good for me.

That's a nice gesture. I'll try to think of it when doing my victory speech.

 

[WinnipegDragon]

I'm flexible for time, Friday and Wednesday preferred though.

 

[Hellefire]

See! Wants to lose on a weekend!

Berandor, after your victory speech, and after you finish waking up and brushing your teeth, I'd be happy to hear your thoughts about my victory speech!

I'll gladly give you some pointers. Don't worry, you'll have until the next contest to make it perfect.

 

[Hellefire]

I'm just glad my victory won't be based on my victory speech then!

Patryn, why don't you sign up in case somebody has to drop out?

Because I'm pretty certain that I can find reading, critiquing, and judging time when it's needed.

I'm not so certain that I can find writing time.

Fair enough. We do have our fourth judge right now, so I think we are covered in an official capacity. But I certainly encourage you to share your thoughts when the stories start coming in. The more, the merrier.

Is this some kind of sequel to one of you previous stories?

 

[RangerWickett]

No. It's actually a quote from an ex-girlfriend who liked to say random things with a Homestar Runner voice. I felt like I ought to post something, but I really had nothing to say.

In other news, if you haven't already seen the sticky thread about the Ceramic DM competition, take a look at it. I'm going to be posting an update later today.

If possible, I'd prefer to start on Sunday or Tuesday. My wife and daughter will be leaving the country for three weeks on Saturday which means I'll be tied up with helping them get ready and taking them to the airport and such prior to that.

 

[Hellefire]

Where's your family heading to?

I get on a plane back to Europe with mine in a few months.

[WinnipegDragon]

I think she would be saying fhwgads then...

I'm not so certain that I can find writing time.

So, if I may be so bold, why don't you read and comment to your leisure without being a judge? I know that as a contestant, the time until judgements are posted can be excrutiating, and any comment is always appreciated. The last contests were quite quiet on that account.

I think we'd all be glad, and you wouldn't have to read/comment on each story, but only as you find time and want.

 

[Hellefire]

Yes critiques are very very helpful. I tried to write as many as I could keep up with during the last CDM. After losing in the first round I still wanted to be involved. Of course, the judges almost unilaterally disagreed with my judgements, so I might not cross over into that judging gap until I have a little more experience. Or maybe just until after I win this one

Korea. My wife is from Korea, and she and my daughter are going over to see her family. I unfortunately wasn't able to make the trip this time around. Oh well, it just means I will hopefully have a lot of time to write for CDM

Not fair! His wife takes off to give him time to write!

Wait, I'm not married...

Not fair! He's got a wife!
