Thanks. I'm pretty much done, but I'll take some time to reread and edit.

Piratecat, I am close to hating you. Done in less than 12 hours? Dang, I wish my stories came to me that fast.

I will be happy to toss a story or two in, but I really need to polish them up first.

I decided not to go there! I figure there are times when it is easier to write something completely from scratch where you decide exactly what all the characters can do without having to remain true to narrated & reacted to events. *shrug* That's what I keep telling myself since I am still trying to figure out how to write up my last campaign as a story hour.

That speed, and we're still waiting on him to update his story hour.

Ahh, but I *am.* I'm just getting several entries ready to go at the same time. Have faith. I'll try to make the delay worth it.

Mine never have before; this is definitely an exception, and I'm both pleased and totally caught off guard. I finished it in about seven hours if you include time for dinner, Simpsons, and dog frolicking. Mostly I was afraid that my muse would get up and walk out on me if I didn't get it all done at once.

I'm gonna start calling your story hour PirateCrack. I've pointed most of them to the .pdf of the early years, and have half of my gaming group hooked on reading it now. One of the guys has even downloaded the .pdf to his PDA and is reading it whenever he has the chance.

Mythago and Barsoomcore- From here on out I would appreciate it if all 3 of us could vacate this thread.

This thread is intended for the contestants and spectators to be able to get away from us to make possibly biasing commentrary both before and after their postings.

No more judges as of now please.

That way I think we all get a better and stronger competition

I'm all in favor of compiling the Ceramic GM stuff--and would be happy to contribute my own--but I have a real problem with exchanging any money for it because a vast percentage of the pictures belong to someone who a) owns the copyright b) I presume hasn't been asked for permission to use their work and b) may be professional photographers/artists for whom the loss of income from violation of their copyright is a serious matter.

If the stories work without thier photos, then I don't mind just publishing our own work. If permission from the photogrpahers can be gotten, then great.

But a lot of the stoires are going to be in trouble without their pictures, I think. And some phtoographers are not going to release thier work without fee--photogrpahy is an expensive art, and many of these folks are independent businesspeople for who a single image sale is a signficant part of their income.

One of the reasons I've volunteered to illustrate for these is the hope that someday we might churn out something ENWorlders can really "own." Perhaps we ought to do a round in which all of the images are owned by ENWorlders who will grant permission to PDF distribute them--perhaps it could becoem a tradition for the final round of each competeion, or soemthing. We don't all have to be artists--there are a lot of people who can do all right with a digital camera and some imagination.

By the time we get to the finals, the art really has to come more from the authors than the illustrators anyway.
