I'm not exaggerating when I say mine might have gone over any sort of implied wordcount by more than a little bit. Not sure whether to post it or not.

I apologise in advance to the people who have to review this beast of a challenge. I like to think it's entertaining enough not to get dull, but in order to be slightly more reasonable, I might mark off a 'read from here' point or something so that I don't suck up everybody's time just reading the thing. =/

But I'll have to deal with that tomorrow. I just wrote 3000 words, and it's past midnight. I'm tiiiiiired. ;;

heyy everyone, reviews were due about 12 hours ago. there are still 7 to be posted, and i cannot finish the scoring without those reviews. get those in pronto. i want the competition to be over before the Summer Poetry Tournament starts, since i know that some of you (myself included) will be participating in that.

@Gabe : Congrats buddy!! Hope there's a badge or something that Jack can bestow upon you for this accomplishment!! Great job!!

@Jack : Amazing effort by you as well. From organizing the entire competition to keeping track of the drop-outs and those few of us who remained till the not-so bitter end. Wonderful, absolutely wonderful. Waiting eagerly for the next installment!!

Cheers!

About this group

'cause we all know it's more exciting in Imaginationland.

Worldbuilding is a process, a process that never really ends. It begins with the conception of the setting, progresses as details and histories are filled in, and is then finally refined and reshaped as the characters explore it.

Some writers construct huge worlds with deep histories, cultures, languages, geographies, and societies. Others opt for a simpler approach, and construct only what they need to tell a story convincingly.

Whatever approach you take, this group hopes to provide some tips and tools for the worldbuilding process and, should you need it, people to help you along the way. We're all crafting stories here, why not make them a little more convincing?
