She doesn't do this weird roleplaying thing with the fonts, so probably.

So far I've gotten feedback from Darius Conwright and MiltonManThing, which I appreciate. I just would like to request that whichever one of you grease stains gave me a 1/8 nut up and give an actual reason why already.

It means he stopped trying.

Now that I'm looking at some of these I'm really impressed, Orange and Malk especially did a fantastic job and deserved the high placement. And thank you to Sherbet and Endmaster for running the contest, although I'd be interested in seeing some of Sherbet's thoughts on the entries too. I already know what needs to be fixed on mine from the shortcuts I took for the deadline, but I wouldn't mind some feedback in case there's anything I overlooked.

At least I beat ItzSugar and Rex.

You posted thousands of words during the time you could've been finishing your contest entry. Next time just don't do that.

Ravenic offered to proofread my story after I joined, or even to help me write it. While it was very nice of her, she clearly needed to focus on finishing her own work before worrying about anyone else or all that socializing. I got away with not doing anything useful for years because I stayed quiet. Watching everyone in the retarded rainbow thread just waste their time annoyed me a few times. I'm still not going to post a lot even now because there's so many other things I could be accomplishing instead.

While I had to shuffle some pages around to cut off some paths and encounters I planned, I'm overall satisfied with how it came out. It's much closer to how I originally envisioned it than my only other contest entry years ago at least. Epecially when some issues came up that made me lose out on several writing days I thought I'd have. I more or less wrote the intro section and then only got to the rest in the last three days. (Really more like two and a half days, and most of it today.) More importantly I think I've finally figured out a trick that helps me write CYOAS, and that turned out to be just creating and linking all the pages together first with descriptive enough titles so that weeks later I could just go and write it all in, and never have any question of what I'd intended to do or where. I also just want to say that I was mad at myself for leaving so much to the last couple of days. But I worked HARD these last couple of days and accomplished a lot anyway, which apparently is more than a lot of other people. This was a contest that was supposed to be taken more seriously than the others, I don't know why people were joining unless they were willing to do that.

I've been up since 4:30 and regretting many decisions. But I'll have it done.
