I got to the dog one and now I need a break. Why did you decide to include so many similar animals? Done.

A Rant About The Chronicles of Narnia on 3/24/2023 1:09:04 PM

The space trilogy is absolutely incredible. The Unman from Perelandra has always stood out to me as one of the best antagonists I've ever read. I also read the bit about Tolkien failing to deliver on his end of the bargain. They had agreed that there hadn't been enough good science fiction lately.

I'm sorry to have come across that way. It's not my intention. Lots of people didn't publish a story at all, and that number doesn't bother me. There was zero investment in people signing up (Except the prompt being gone). The number of story games generated during the time limit is admirable. Many of these games are pretty good. These contests are a great tradition for the community here. They push us and prioritize finishing. Everyone's personal goal need only be outperforming your past self, or else learning and broadening your skill set. I tried something that didn't really work for me, but I learned a lot.

Really, really impressive work by a lot of people. Congratulations to everyone.

Another reminder of what a haven this place has always been.

Thanks for doing this.

It isn't everything I hoped for, but it is something! I learned a lot about planning and pacing these things. It would have been much easier to write something fully linear, instead of mostly linear like it ended up being. Hopefully I'll salvage most of the writing currently sitting in my "cut content" folder.

The Painting of Red

EDIT: (a couple hours later) I just found a "choose destination" window open in my tabs. I'm terrified that some link or another is going to be broken.

I think we have different goals. I suspect we have vastly different amounts of time set into our respective projects. I would have spent more time if I had it, but presently I'm about tapped out. I fell asleep at this keyboard a few hours ago. This was frightening enough that I have an alarm set an hour before the deadline. I think it's really great how many people submit stories for these now. It's a great community drive. Chiefly, you should be competing with yourself. Work to produce a slightly better product each time. That's how you win the contest in the most important regard.

That should do it.

24 Hours. My product is ready to ship... But I have an untold number of errors to find. I have thousand-word swathes that I've never even proofread once. Tomorrow is going to be interesting.
