Thunder on the Mountain Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Entry is completed, to be edited and submitted very soon.I'm only posting these update sort of things because the last contest I claimed I would enter...I didn't, so since there's only a few entries, I want to make it clear that with the approaching deadline, I'm definitely still entering.

Click Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 I still need a bit more, but I'm up to 5 pgs. (about 2,000 words)I am still entering, if I can get it done on time. ~ Corpus Rahkshi: Fang | Hoto | Tube | Tear | Canvas | Garrotte | Reda BZPRPG: Azusai | Mitsuri The Scarabax Library | Flickr | Deviantart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyru Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Just thought I'd post and say that I'm entering. My story is mostly done, and I should be posting it this weekend, though I may enter tonight if all goes well. An excellent contest, by the way!

Kagha Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 I know I told some people I was entering, and said people may be under the impression that I died in the interim, so I decided to post here to remind them that this is not the case. I've started an entry for the contest, but I am honestly considering withholding from posting it, given the obscene word count and the extreme draggedoutedness that it has (it is mostly done and in its final stages will totter at 10,000 words). I figure I don't want to give the judges that much grief.-Kagha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legolover-361 Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 I procrastinated too heavily before beginning to write my story. I don't think I'll enter after all.

Velox Posted March 12, 2012 Author Share Posted March 12, 2012 Little over a half-hour left to enter. The topic won't be closed at 12 (probably), but entries will not be accepted after then.

Inferna Firesword Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 LL,Grant and Inferna out? My chances look halfway decent now. Sure, but you have to keep an eye out for Kagha and his monster entry. He's won SS contests before, and despite the fact he's confessed to never reading the books, he's a tough act to follow. -Inferna Reborn: a new epic by Inferna Firesword Now recruiting for the Matoran Militia!

Click Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 (edited) Definitely longer, mine was 12,000, and not as long as his. He said he was in the "finishing stages" of his entry at 10,000, and based on my experience, that means about 5,000 more words to go EDIT: Okay, his is about 10,622, mine really 6,453 (I got the pages and word count mixed up ). How's that compare?

Nuile the Paracosmic Tulpa Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 (edited) I never actually counted the words of my entry until now--8,105, as it turns out. Does that qualify as a "monster" story?

Kagha Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 To be honest, I'm not too strung up on word count all the time unless there's an insane max/min to follow. Otherwise, it doesn't really matter to me to write a "monster story" so long as the story itself gets told effectively. Quality over quantity, hey?-Kagha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legolover-361 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Those are my thoughts on the matter, as well, Kagha. My entry into SSC8 was one of the longest, if not the longest, in the contest -- and it was definitely my longest short story yet at about 7,500 words -- yet it was one of the People's Choice winners.

WriterofReapers Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 *grumbles about how he now has the urge to check the word count of his entry*Looks like just a mite below 2,750. Guess that makes mines one of the shorter entries, huh? Good thing this is a short story contest! ◇ Lacertus ◇ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
