Re: The Newbie Writing Competition '10! (The Final Round Is Here!)

Congrats Minuara, I really did enjoy yours. Zeferin, you get a honorable mention in my mind because even though you had plenty of grammatical errors, I still voted yours highly. This is a rarity, but yours was just damn good.

Good luck to my competitors in the final round, and may the best story win =)

 

Re: The Newbie Writing Competition '10! (The Final Round Is Here!)

Thank you. I was in the middle of AP testing when I was writing this story, so I had really only a night to write it all and no time to proof read. I'm disappointed that I didn't win, but oh well. Congrats Minuara.

 

Re: The Newbie Writing Competition '10! (Let's kick off Round Two!)

Yaaay me. Would have been last outright had it not been for my bonus three points for voting. :ksmile:

Well, it's not as bad as I thought it'd be. :sweatlol:

Anyway, moving swiftly on, I claimeth my voting monies.

 

Re: The Newbie Writing Competition '10! (The Final Round Is Here!)

I guess this is the part where I wish all yall story noobies good luck. I havnt been following this at all =P

 

Re: The Newbie Writing Competition '10! (The Final Round Is Here!)

Wait, so do we still have to provide summaries for these stories?

I claim my 6k.

 

Re: The Newbie Writing Competition '10! (The Final Round Is Here!)

wondering the same thing myself, as i'm pretty sure i've voted for all the stories in the final round. Also claiming my 6k and congratulating my opponants - voting went pretty much as I expected this round.

 

Re: The Newbie Writing Competition '10! (The Final Round Is Here!)

Claiming moneys for this round. Thanks for your votes, everyone m(_ _)m I was pretty worried about the competition this round.

Echoing again the question of whether we have to provide summaries, and if we do, are we allowed to just copy-paste our old ones?

 

Re: The Newbie Writing Competition '10! (The Final Round Is Here!)

Claiming my $6,000 and Congrats to Minuara! Also good job to all the competitors, I feel like my grades have said enough.

 

Re: The Newbie Writing Competition '10! (The Final Round Is Here!)

I'll claim my money. Kinda sad I missed the first few rounds for stupid reasons, but I'm glad I jumped in when I did; these stories were a fun read.

 

Re: The Newbie Writing Competition '10! (The Final Round Is Here!)

Claiming my 6k, Good work Minuara on winning and good luck to the finalist also i want to qoute everyone on the summery thing

 

Re: The Newbie Writing Competition '10! (The Final Round Is Here!)

I'm amused at the fact mine's is the shortest of the four finalists.

Of course, short would mean less detail in theorem, so I'm rather nerved. However, since there's merely 3 stories excluding mine, I might as well vote this final round, if I can be bothered.

 

Re: The Newbie Writing Competition '10! (The Final Round Is Here!)

You guys can re-use your previous summaries for the stories in this round. :3

Re: The Newbie Writing Competition '10! (The Final Round Is Here!)

I claim my 6k and congrats to finalists I hope you all make it! (hehehe)

 

Re: The Newbie Writing Competition '10! (The Final Round Is Here!)

I claim my 6000. Good luck, everyone!

 

Re: The Newbie Writing Competition '10! (The Final Round Is Here!)

Hmm. I might not be able to vote. I have a story to work on, and I don't save my sent messages ._.
Oh well. I don't think any of those stories were my absolute favorites anyway. Besides maybe 'The Shellos Tell Us'. I guess I'll pass for this round. Unless I manage to get my summaries back.

 

Re: The Newbie Writing Competition '10! (The Final Round Is Here!)

You could always skim them since you've already read them, and just cobble something together.

 

Re: The Newbie Writing Competition '10! (The Final Round Is Here!)

I am honored to hear that you enjoyed my work. If you can just quickly look them over and vote, that would work just as well. I mean, I will need as much support as I can get to win against these other amazing works of literature. Every single person I gave top points are now my competition. That is a scary prospect.
