RPGC #21: How The Guild Saved Christmas - Discussion

[Frizan]

Feel free to direct any feedback or questions here! Please keep discussion relevant to the associated contest. All other Guild posting rules also apply.

[Frizan]

To everyone that is participating: Be sure to get your entries in soon! The deadline will arrive in a little under two weeks.

[Loksfjoer]

I don't have any plans for new year, so I'll definitely get something on paper. I know what I want to do, next comes the writing :)

[Loksfjoer]

My entry is done, I will read it over a final time tomorrow and then I can post it.
It wasn't easy, but it was fun to write it.

[Rosenrot]

@Calle
Just finished reading your entry minutes ago and I adore it!

I also had the idea of writing my entry as a poem, so I'm incredibly jealous you got there first.

[Loksfjoer]

Thank you!

I can't wait to read what you did with the prompt.

[Rosenrot]

@Gwynbleidd

I honestly didn't expect someone with the subtitle "Summon The Bitches" to have an entry that would make me tear up.



Well done.

[Gwynbleidd]

@Rosenrot

LOL. If you don't already know where the subtitle comes from, enjoy!

In all seriousness I REALLY appreciate hearing that, you made my day. Thank you so much!!

[Rosenrot]

Damn near bailed on this one, but thanks to some much-needed confidence from @Lord Wraith and @LordOfTheNight... I followed through, for better or worse.

Good luck to you two, @Gwynbleidd and @Calle!

[SleepingSilence]

Read them all just before bed and decided I couldn't really "review" these entries. Especially in a comparative sense. Since I found them all about equal in quality, making my vote absent and only reserved for a tiebreaker. So good luck!

[SleepingSilence]

@Frizan Are you going to announce the winner of the contest? (And maybe, if you hold any control over this. Idk. Also, have that character sheet contest that was forgotten about entirely to finally be concluded.)

[BrokenPromise]

Pretty sure Frizan isn't touching the character sheet contest because that was more nuttz n boltz'z pet project than his own, and he nope'd out of there due to the voter/contestant turn out being so low.

Purely my assumption of course.

[Briza]

Briza votes for another CS Contest. Ngl. Tagging @NuttsnBolts.

[NuttsnBolts]

@Briza
Probably not anything soon... Last time I did one I only got 2 entries after a few weeks and people lost a lot of interest. :/

[Briza]

Oh, blimey for being too alternative!

[BrokenPromise]

@NuttsnBolts If you guys were more consistent with your contests, they would likely be received better. Nothing's going to be a hit overnight. If you follow Frizan's contests, you'll notice they keep getting more and more contestants as long as he keeps to a monthly schedule. That's not to say you need to have a contest every month, but you do need to have one regularly. Then it becomes habit to check out the contest section.

Since Frizan has started hosting the contests, I have voted in all of them. I've written reviews for all but one because there were only two contest entries. Anyone who posts in one of these contests and has been keeping an eye on Frizan-era contest section expects me to say something. It's not always fun, sometimes I have other things on my mind. But I do it anyway because contestants deserve to hear what people thing of their work. They might not like what I say, but their work won't be ignored.

If you want to do a contest, dry those eyes, dust off your boots, and be consistent. Now that the holiday whirlwind is dying down, I might even have time to join. But you won't know unless you try.

Oh, and while we're talking about the contest in question, The main reason why I didn't join was because I use to RP a LOT of pirates. In fact I have two on this forum alone. I felt that the temptation to copy one of my old pirates was too great, so I thought it would be best to sit this one out.

Wait, this topic is for discussing this month's contest. Shit!

Um...

Boy, can't wait for those results!

[Frizan]

Congratulations are in order for @Calle for winning this contest! I enjoyed the kind of fairytale feeling Midwinter Demons gave off. For the record, though, I enjoyed all the entries!

Keep an eye on the Writing Contests sections, everyone, because I shall have the next one up Soon(TM)
