ENW Short Story Smackdown Summer 07 (Winner Announced)

[maxfieldjadenfox]

Wow. I can hear the crickets with so many folks off at GenCon.

To all of you who participated in this contest so far, thanks for entertaining me and the war hammer. And to the fallen, I salute you and hope you'll continue to write whenever you get the chance. This contest messes with you, but I think it really stretches you as a writer and that's a good thing.

 

[maxfieldjadenfox]

BTW, Trench and Yangnome, you are not forgotten. I'll make sure you get critiques for your stories this round even if you didn't have opponents...

Whoa - with all the 4E stuff moved, I can finally see this thread again! So, any word on which way the match between me and Awayfarer is going to fall?

 

[Rodrigo Istalindir]

Sorry guys. Got bumped from my flight last and had to get up at 4:30 to catch the first flight back from Indy this morning. Gotta go to work, but I did just get an email from Herremann promising judgments tonight.

Thanks for your patience, and I apologize for the delay. Start thinking about your availablity for the next round.

 

[Avatar_V]

Cool; good to hear. Thanks for the update. My availability is this: The sooner the better. I begin after-work grad school on 9/26 - so I'm going to be perpetually busy beginning then. The more rounds we can get in before it the better.

Beyond that, I have a preference for starting on Sundays (since Mondays and Tuesdays are good days for me to write) - but I'm fairly flexible in this regard.

Of course, this all depends on Herremann liking my story

 

[Rodrigo Istalindir]

Dear god, I hope we're done by the 26th of September! Not that this isn't fun, but I'd like to have this one done before the next one starts.

I think for future generations we must institute the 'no Ceramic DM in July/August' rule. Sort of like the oyster rule, only different.

 

[awayfarer]

I have a week and to go at my summer job. This weekend might be a bad time to start a new round as I may be going to a family get together. August 29th-September 2nd should be clear.

Of course, this assumes that Herreman makes the right decision.

 

[yangnome]

OK, I'm back from GenCon--a day late a two bags short, but back nonetheless. I am ready to start whenever we can get things rolling. Sunday/Mondays are my days off and therefore my preferred time, but I'll write whenever you give pictures.

 

[Trench]

So far, I'm okay for most days.

I'll be in Canada from September 7-11, but otherwise I think I'm good.

Whereaboots, eh?
