Voltex Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 It was... last January? February? Late January/early February. I think everyone that didn't like those comedies started partying when they were closed though (perhaps a little less so if we lost proto getting it closed), but, to reply back to Velox, those comedies were stuffed to the maximum of prime examples of posts that would be considered useless for helping a writer to improve.Not to mention that the spelling and grammar of the comedies was atrocious and people defended it... that was twhat worried me the most. I was afraid it would be like when the "Ask" comedies flooded BZP, only... a lot worse. I'm all for making a comedy or short story that's written in verse, or just as a poem period, but please, please do it with proper spelling and grammar- or don't do it in a way that makes sense, like if you're imitating an accent.-ibrow Quote JOIN AETHERGARDE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay. Technically, it didn't break any rules; that was all it had going for it. XD But the amount of attention and debate given to that, a type of comedy that is normally overlooked by most of the populace, was just outrageous.

Voltex Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Yeah... I'm still not exactly sure how so many different people ended up looking at it. =P@Velox: I will say that when I write up a script chapter and post it, regardless of the attention it gets and regardless of how funny it is, the end result never satisfies me as much as a prose chapter. That said, it's been awhile since I've been truly satisfied with a prose comedy, but both of my LSO entries seem to be turning out well enough.-ibrow Quote JOIN AETHERGARDE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishers64 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Yeah... I'm still not exactly sure how so many different people ended up looking at it. =PI blame the Hot Topics box - and the title, and the fact that it started in the wrong forum (Short Stories). That's the thing with the HT box - if there was a lot of people doing anything, even getting ticked off, then more people would follow them and get ticked off. It's good to see the clearified and improved rules, though. I'll be keeping that in mind. :)But anyway, back on topic, do you all see a lot of works from new writers, ones from exprienced writers, or do you think we have a good mix of both? Does this vary by forum section? Quote Hero Factory RPG | Bionicle Mafia XXIX: Storyline & Theories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cederak Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 I would say we have a fair mix of new and experienced writers posting work across all sectors of the Library.-Ced Quote Cederak's Library l Blog: Fair Enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant-Sud Posted July 10, 2012 Author Share Posted July 10, 2012 Just going to say that Team 1 in the LSO Epic's CoT, is totally gonna win. ;D And, who enjoyed the Flash Fiction Marathon, the LSO Comedies and the fact that we have LSO Short Stories coming up? It's awesome! Quote The Island with a Lot of CavesCurly Brace | Sue | King | Polar Star | Outer Wall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishers64 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I enjoyed the Comedies competition, but the judging was weird on it. The CoT comedy I thought was going to win totally bombed and the Bionicle comedy I thought was going to fail miserably won. Still, hats off the Library staff for all these awesome contests!

Who did you think was going to win? =PI, for one, am extremely disappointed that I won't be able to participate in the LSO Short Stories competition. Assuming it takes place during August. Oh well, maybe next time. -ibrow Quote JOIN AETHERGARDE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was talking about my CoT and Bionicle entries into the contest, and whoch ones I thought would win.

Aderia Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 [...] do you all see a lot of works from new writers, ones from exprienced writers, or do you think we have a good mix of both? Does this vary by forum section?This is late. This is such a late reply. Not topic-revival late,I'm pretty sure, but still.Anyways, in Epics, I'm actually noticing more experienced writers and their works (judging by the first page in the forum), but Short Stories has a nice, refreshing mix of both =)Also, are any of you planning on entering the Short Stories portion of the LSO? (Awesome job with Epics, btw =D ) Quote (disclaimer: none of this banner art is original, I just smooshed it together in gimp. Torchic, Matau) Those pesky firespitters...

Cederak Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I'm planning to enter the SS LSO, though there's a notable difference between planning and acting. Time will tell if I actually get anything written on the matter. Quote Cederak's Library l Blog: Fair Enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishers64 Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I'll see if anything comes to mind on the LSO. No idea if I can think of anything...actually, something is coming to mind...well, maybe...

TNTOS Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Highly doubtful. I'm working on another story at the moment (a comedy, actually) that I don't want even to take a short break from. Not to mention I don't have any ideas for the contest, so I'm probably just going to sit this one out. Maybe next time.-TNTOS- Quote "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." - Theodore RooseveltA Writerly BlogThe Tasty Library of Sugary Goodness(My Little BIONICLE: Friendship is Explosive Completed 01/05/14){The Shika Trilogy Omnibus Completed 03/31/14) (Review Topic)(In the End Completed 09/01/14) (Review Topic)The Biological Chronicle: (2001) (2002) (2003) (2004) (2005) (2006) (2007) (2008) (2009) (2010) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
