@Ellri I understand, but to me that's like serving a half prepared meal.

Wow, I didn't even know this contest was going on until today. I always look over to the little section on the right of the homepage to see what contest is going on; it still says the first contest's information. Someone needs to update that thing. Kind of pisses me off now; I would have loved to write an entry for this if it had been more clearly displayed on the site.

It would've been updated, but Mahz is away currently and seeing how the system has yet to be programmed to let others modify things like that, that was not possible.

Quite a few lengthy entries. I almost want to single out the huge ones (looking at you Keyguy) and review them first lol.

@Dark Wind I know, right? I was thinking we'd only have one post, but nooo, we had two that were both very close to full. I'm impressed.

Keyguy's is a bit longer than ours, yes... 21k characters or so by our estimate... and ours was a touch long.

It's a coding limitation. We're meant to have control over that box, but @Mahz is away and the finished functionality still needs a lot of work. We're aware, he's aware, @Terminal from TTL is aware as well -- it'll be ready when it's ready. In the meantime I should be doing more to build awareness when submission periods are open, so expect me to improve on that in the future. FWIW, the Second Labor will begin very shortly after this voting period ends, and we'll be back with RPGC #3 twelve days later, give or take a few hours on either end.

How to write Keyguy style:
Step 1: Take an idea.
Step 2: TURN IT INTO SCI-FI (Or another form of speculative fiction)
Step 3: Make sure that you hammer the message into everyone's heads. The message has to be "Hey guys, this was/is/will be bad. TAKE NOTE. TAKE NOTE NOW".
Step 4: If your story doesn't take up at least 20 pages on word, you're doing it wrong. pad it with unneeded imagery and spaces.
Step 5: ???
Step 6: Profit. Oh wait, you didn't publish it. Nevermind.

here's how we did it:
Step 1. Get an idea.
Step 2. Write ten plus pages of something terrible.
Step 3. Let it ferment for a few days.
Step 4. Remove inappropriate parts
Step 5. Add mold spores and put it in a humid, warm place.
Step 6. Realize its all horrible.
Step 7. Start over.
Step 8. Realize you're almost out of time. Ask about submitting an incomplete story.
Step 9. Write a semi-decent ending despite thinking you did not have the time to do that.
Step 10. Submit it.

Not quite as good as your method, but it did make our goat float.

1) Brainstorm Idea
2) Start Writing
3) After Writing 7ish pages (double spaced) in Word, Switch Idea and Start from Scratch on the Day Entry is Due.
4) Write for 5-6 hours to get entry done.
5) Turn in entry without much proofreading because I was tired.

Pretty much what happened...
