I think one or two of them were only 100 words long. I was -much- more concerned about the entries being passed over because it wasn't clear what I was talking about.  The editing was the toughest part for me; 15 minutes to finish the monster idea and then a hour at least getting all the words lined up. I was working down to the wire picking out spelling, grammar and clarity errors.[Having said that I realized I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would.]It's funny how emotional the whole thing was, I went from being sure that an idea would be the best thing in the book to being convinced it was boring and useless and I shouldn't bother to turn it in at all, often in the space of a few hours.I noticed some other funny thigns about myself as well (mostly of the I-find-it-really-irritating-unless-I'm-doing-it school). I'm sick of monster books with evil outsiders and undead, but when I was done there were a bunch of evil outsiders and undead in front of me....(not exclusively, but I was surprised, weird things just pop out o your head, the two ideas I liked the most just appeared sponataniously ...)I have an idea that I was thinking of floating after the deadline but might as well bring up now: something like a CCIII graveyard of monster ideas that didn't make it.  Would people be interested in posting their rejected monster ideas?This would be -AFTER- the deadline, of course; though ideas you didn't finish in time (Dragongirl's story?) would be cool to do now.</blockquote>
