[QUOTE="Hellefire, post: 2058957, member: 28129"] So sometimes my anal-retentive attention to detail kicks in and I notice little things. Like when I was posting my critiques today and noticed the first post in the thread (is there a name for that? Head post? Starting post? Bed post?) said that first round was 4 pics, 5000 words and second round was 5 pics, 6000 words. But I could swear that I saw it posted as 7000 words somewhere. So I checked. And, sure enough, the first competitors of round 2, Eeralai and Mythago, were given an extra k of words. Now does this matter? Well besides the fact that everybody else has to squeeze their novel ideas into a mere 6000 words? Is that fair? Where's the justice? Ya know, I crack myself up sometimes. Especially at 2am (which it is now) with a sick 15-mo baby. But I just realized that maybe my humor doesn't come across so...humorously...on a message board. I mean, sure, in person I'm a riot. People line the blocks to hear me joke. I'm a killer at a party. OK, nevermind, I'm lying and babbling all at the same time. I think I had a point here somewhere but I lost what it was. Oh yeah...someone made a typo, and I guess it's the one that says 7000 words cuz everything else says 6000 words. Ok, official anal typo checker secretary type going to sleep now. Aaron [/QUOTE]
