Vercetti21 Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Gah. Ten days to go and I haven't even started yet. I better get my ass in geat! Same here. Haven't officially entered yet because I knew I'd just procrastinate (which I have). Got a few ideas on my head, just got to find the time to type it out.

Iminicus Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Dream My Reality There it is. I took the idea of fantasy and ran with it a different way. Instead of dragons and elves, I looked at it as a fantasy of a sick mind. It was fun to write and someone will probably say it doesn't count as fantasy. But either way, I hope you enjoy it. If it is eligible for the competition the statistics are: Pages - 7 Words - 3,121 Of course, that is what shows up if you copy it into MS Word.

Oblivionz Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Jesus christ. For the one time in my entire writing history I have absolutely no idea what to write about, since I dn't want to do the traditional dungeons, dragons, elves and dwarves sh*t. I'm sure I'll think of something by the deadline though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carbine23 Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 I came up with an idea. It'll take sometime to write it though. Here's a teaser trailer leading up to it....yes i borrowed scenes from the Max Payne Trailer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanted Assailant Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 I came up with an idea. It'll take sometime to write it though. Here's a teaser trailer leading up to it....yes i borrowed scenes from the Max Payne Trailer. How do you create videos such as those? I know you can rip videos from sources like IGN, but how the hell do you squeeze in the music, and the text in there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carbine23 Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Windows Movie Maker, which is a free program for Windows XP programs and above. There are way better programs however and they cost money. I'm pretty sure however IMovie is a lot better which is free with a Mac Computer. I found out that the song from the trailer was an instrumental version from marilyn manson. So i downloaded the instrumental version on a certain site. You import the audio and put it in the audio section. You lower the audio from the clips and up the audio you put in the audio box, that way it overlays the clips. Notice how you hear no sounds from the trailer itself. That's because i made the audio overpower the clip audio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanted Assailant Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Thanks. I'm presuming the text is also from Windows Movie Maker. Thanks again. Sorry for off-topic-ness, but now for OT, I'll say my story is charming up real well for my own taste. I hadn't expect it to turn it this way. I guess it'll be pretty short when completed.

Iminicus Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Any plans for setting up a poll, once all entrants have entered? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lochie_old Posted August 17, 2008 Author Share Posted August 17, 2008 No, I've decided instead that people will vote by posting so theres no dishonest guys voting for themselves. Keep 'em coming guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eminence Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 You can also just take the easy route and, as he's already said, count the votes up manually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanted Assailant Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 So we're all settling in manual votes, right? It's much easier in my opinion. I sent in my entry called Lethal Skin, but I'm suspecting I went a wee bit overboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vercetti21 Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Well, if there are no judges and it's all just free vote, there's also the problem that most people will most likely not read all of the stories. In the future, we could limit the number of participants, as to lessen the number of pieces to be read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyZimmzy Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 I'll probaly only read a few stories - not gonna lie, I don't usually read stuff on these forums often, and I'm usually busy doing other stuff. So, my vote'll be null unless I do read a few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eminence Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Then that's just a problem that'll occur, and perhaps the downfall of this overall idea. It might just turn into a bit of a popularity contest; with an open vote, it's not always going to be 'the best wins'. As for limiting the number of participants, I say a firm no; that's not fair. At what point do you draw the line? First come, first served? Why exclude people? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanted Assailant Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 So... Who's going to win? I haven't read most of the entries, sometimes because they don't declare it. It is more a popularity contest, but that's how most presidents got into office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronmar The Only Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Phusion, you should probably gather the links to all the entrants' works and then place them on the first page. Also, what would the cut-off date for voting be? The end of the month? Visit Writers' Discussion Compilation of Works: From a Storyteller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lochie_old Posted August 22, 2008 Author Share Posted August 22, 2008 (edited) End of the month, and a-link gathering I shall go! EDIT: doneskies, if I missed anything you guys have posted on the board then just leave a reply here. Other then that I'll upload the ones that have been PM'd to me on the 25th.
