yet another writing competition

@_sleeby_rat_ forum 110 comments schedule

I usually write in first person, since it just feels more natural. Don't really know why.

@_sleeby_rat_

to each their own I guess. I mean sure, I've read a lot of first person stuff that's really good, but whenever I try to write it I feel like I'm limited to one point of view? like you're sort of confined to the one character you're writing the perspective of

@Oakie Dokie

me writing in 1st person tho

"Rory, you asshole. The couch goes on the left side of the fire pit," I explain quietly, barely disguising a snicker. "The loveseat goes on the right."

@Oakie Dokie

(how much time do we have to write?)

Also, put me down as a maybe.

@Masterkey

I will be a judge! And let's cap it at 5,000 words so I don't have too much to read. :P That's like the length of one long chapter.

@_sleeby_rat_

ok, and I haven't decided on a due date yet. I'm gonna try and get at least 5 participants before I set one but if we don't get 5 soon I'll probably give everyone like…a week or two to write

@_sleeby_rat_

yeah 5,000 words should be good.
sweats almostallmystuffis5000+words

@Oakie Dokie

well i'm in :3

@_sleeby_rat_

ok that puts us at 3 for sure participants

@Masterkey

Haha, I won't hold it against you if you go like 100 words over, but keep in mind that the longer you make your entry (usually) the better advantage you have (at least I feel like that, since there's more time to explain and describe), which isn't super fair to others. :P

@_sleeby_rat_

yeah I'm just really unnecessarily descriptive when I write so I'm gonna struggle to keep it under the word limit lol

@Oakie Dokie

can i do mine in script format?

@_sleeby_rat_

sure, go for it

@SaltyLasagna

I'm going to participate I guess

@_sleeby_rat_

@SaltyLasagna

but I'm writing it in first person because writing it in third person would make me so freaking uncomfortable
