I'm in and Boomerang's partner.

Okay then. We're loaded. Adding you up. This is going to be the largest WL competition so far.
Oct 30, 2015 12:45 AM #1412084
One question I have for you. You say a maximum of 3 CnC's that you'll give points for. Is that 3 for each round or three in total?
Oct 30, 2015 12:46 AM #1412085
This is a rather large tourney, it needs a worthy prize. I'll be willing to throw in ten dollars in League riot points as a bonus to the winner. Or in some other game that's easy to buy points for, but league is the simplest one that comes to mind aside from steam. I think steams gona be a prize anyway right?

For each round. If each of those are substantial, they'd become 30 points instead of 15. So yeah. Help each other.

We've got Steam Keys courtesy of Xate/Hewitt.
By later today I will have Round 1's thread up. Unless you have some people you know that wants to join.

Quote from AzureIs... is that an innuendo?
Quote from CruelPut...put your dick in it.
Are you guys being serious right now?
I'm saying that Waffles' half-assed attempt to fit the same set of elements in every genre is not going to work.

Is there a limit to how long these can be? I'm not gonna make anything novella like, but I was just wondering if you have a specific limit to what would be a short story.

I'd rather not have a limit. That really makes it a lot more difficult if you have to keep that in mind while you're writing it.

What we don't want is flash fiction, so we can't have 1.5k less words. After a google search, a short story can be 20k below and anything more turns it into a novella.
The limit is 12k for our tournament? The furthest wRHG battle in terms of word count we had was 8k which I believe was set by blakphoenix so a bit further would be okay?
Any thoughts on this would be fine. I'm open.

I agree on not having a limit, but I think that Error's limit is large enough that we can all work with it. Quite honestly mine would probably range from 6-10k in anything that I do, because sometimes I'd really like a complete story.
I'm already starting to brainstorm on what I can do for science fiction. I have a pretty rad idea.

Will there be prompts for each round? Or will we just freewrite within the assigned genre?

There are no prompts. Instead there are challenges that you may or may not take for additional 10 points.

Quote from BoomerangI actually have a partner, he's new to the forums (Like just joined a half hour ago), but I've known him for a while and he actually expressed interest in participating.
Why do I suddenly feel reminded of Shadowolf? ;)

Your suspicion is on the fritz, he's Boomerang's partner so he can be trusted. Besides, the mods would notice if he's alting anyway.Quote from roBEATWhy do I suddenly feel reminded of Shadowolf? ;)
