D'oh! THAT should have been submitted...

[Mouseferatu]

So, quick question. How many of you (whether or not you submitted to the WotC open call) suddenly came up with/remembered an idea that would have made a perfect submission--but only after after the deadline had passed?

I myself submitted three settings, but over the course of the weekend following the deadline I remembered--not created, but remembered--three others that I'd thought about some time back that would have been just right for this sort of thing.

Just curious if I was the only one.

Heh. Just this morning I was thinking, 'Hey! I shoulda written up the neato flying island setting....'

LMAO!!!!

Sorry, I'm not laughing at you. It's just that one of the settings I've set several of my (so far unpublished) novels in, a setting that I briefly considered submitting and then decided not to because I feel it wouldn't work as a game environment (for various reasons), a settinng I've been developing on and off for upwards of six years now is...

Wait for it...

A flying island setting.

There are no new ideas in this world.

Now that it is over with I kind of wish I did send in my Plateau world papers or my Dead world.

 

[Desdichado]

And I actually submitted a flying islands setting! Oh well, I better not say anything more about it, just in case!

I've loved the flying island concept ever since that one series of "Magic the Gathering" cards had lands that were flying islands.

D'oh! I should have submitted that! Arrrrrgh! It would be great. If you wanted new stuff years down the product line you could swap in some new flying islands. Nuts.

Good luck, Mr. Dyal!

lol.

Though I'd wager if we compared settings, they'd end up fairly different. There's a lot you can do with flying islands. Though if your setting is all about power politics in a small, unstable system that's slowly eating itself...

flying islands

I actualy did send in one of those, lots of twists but that was part of it. I had no ilusions there wouldn't be a zillion other flying island settings though. Its a nice visual and its been done before. Of course not quite like mine but well see.

 

[your father is]

I too considered flying islands.

Wierd.

The proposal I did send made use of some of what I dig about flying islands in a completely different setting.

Internal politics also plays a large roll...

No, very much not about that. Which is not to say there's no political conflict, but since every major island in my setting is a very different culture, their interactions aren't the same as they would be if they all fell under a single form of government.

I may post the details of mine somewhere at some point...
