Finally, given the volumes of mail coming in, I doubt we will ever know the total number of submissions and I think to continually ask that Wotc keep track

they contact everyone
a spreadsheet is involved
count all rows

yep...

...yer right.

But I think I in fact have a PRETTY GOOD reason for being worried senseless (which I admit I am)...

First Column Numbered
So Counting is not Needed
How simple is that

LOL @ trix & Tallow!

I think people need to realize that Joe smhoe's chances of winning are less that 1 in 20,000 while Monte Cook and other big name writers chances are more like 1 in 100. Do you really think that the Admin isn't going to put submissions by known professional writers in a special make sure you read these first pile or at least a make sure you read the whole submission pile and not just glance over it especially with the enormous amout of submissions they have recieved they'll want to make sure they don't miss somebody important.

This is a truely blind process. Submissions are numbered by their arrival. We have no way of knowing who sent us the submission. If someone tried to subvert the process, say by casually putting thier name in the middle of the page, that submission would be disqualified.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH, why did I choose The It's Man as my screenname. I couldn't avoid using "it's" in my submission (spelling it "it is" a couple of times would have forced me to make the margin's even smaller or use an even smaller font - I hope the punched holes in the paper will save me from disqualifying...

Re: stop the legal bickering

Finally, given the volumes of mail coming in, I doubt we will ever know the total number of submissions and I think to continually ask that Wotc keep track is unreasonable and will only serve to distract and delay them from the primary goal of going through all of the entries in a timely manner.

If they are sending out notices, I think they are keeping track.

Even so I do believe it is to early to come up with a total.

Dear Contestant

Thank you for entering our Fantasy Setting Search. Unfortunately, your setting sucked. No one here liked it, except for our paper shredder. But hey at least you got some use out of those stamps before the price went up. Loser. We were forced to waste precious minutes of our life reading your drivel. We want them back.

Unlike yourself, a pathetic fanboy game nerd, we have a life. We could have done something with our weekends, instead of poring over the endless wanking of a bunch of foaming at the mouth munchkins who still live in their parent's basement.

Just to be fair, we will give you a second chance, you can send in a 100 page setting bible. We will give it a second look. However, we require that you write it in your own blood, all of it. If you have any left over after writing your proposal, just send it in along with your submission.

Again, thank you for entering our contest. Not!


Sincerely

Fantasy Setting Search Committe

I think all the extra work of going over the submissions is getting to them, or something

(Who is wondering what the rejection letters WILL look like, if they actually send any out.)

Re: Its Monday

Saw the bins of mail this morning. We are so doomed.

I'm not kidding, we are really hosed over here.

Then forget about the 1st round. Declare us all winners and have us all submit the 10 pagers.
