Good call on the competition, I certainly noticed increased activity in the story forum:)

' Wrote:The largest by far is Dreygon's Mon'Star the Red at 97 (holy crap where do you get all the time to write this stuff and still have a life man?)pages, the next closest is frozenballz "The Gift" and Akura's "Tears of Valentine"at 25 pages, and then Stoat's "Fortunius Wright" at 24 pages. I've run the library printer out of paper TWICE (and still have a story or 2 to print off.) and I'm very glad I didn't have to print these off at home.
Total page count is: 302 pages, split between 20 people.
Yes, it is Attorney:Carmen_Naso
I'm going to go hole myself up somewhere with lots of food and no distractions for a few days.
You have to wonder how the smaller stories will compete.

If this is still going on, I'm gonna cook up a story for one of my characters.
I think my OSC needs some lovin'.
EDIT: Damn, two hours over. I'll write that story anyway.

More like 10 hours, but meh. :D
Next one then.

' Wrote:You have to wonder how the smaller stories will compete.Quantity isn't necessarily quality. The problem with long stories (like Dreygon's) is that they're so long, little mistakes are left in. The author will look at all of those pages of writing and go 'screw it, I'm not going through all that and correcting it'. I know this from experience, with my own 60-something A4 page epic, Destiny.

i really don't write that much. it's just 2 years and a few months of writing during my lunch break at work. i have a character that i like, and i try to explain my actions and behavior in game through stories. i think Mon'Star is an awesome villain and like i say....i just like drawing him and writing about him
i actually have went back at edited some of the earlier writings of Mon'Star. As he grew and fleshed out in my head i needed to adjust a few things here and there. i try to mix quantity with quality, i'd like to think i've done a fair job at it.
good luck to all those who've entered the contest

I've finished all the stories, and will harrass the admin/mod team into commenting on them and deciding a winner. Hopefully I'll have a result by Monday.

There's a reason I chose a story that's 11 (short) posts long for this. That was for you Mwerte <3
Roleplay Story Competition Feedback - jammi - 10-17-2009
So, what's going on with this?
Roleplay Story Competition Feedback - mwerte - 10-19-2009
Jammi is disqualified for pestering me. Too bad, he had all the votes and was going to win. ;)
