| Doobie_wop said: I'm interested, it should be fun, the only problem that you might struggle with though is giving out prizes. Who would pay for the games? You'd also have to find two really good judges (I'd recommend Kantor and Smeags) you would have to figure out a way to show off the short stories, without actually using a forum thread, it'd take way too much space and it might be a bit clumsy. Anyway, I'm interested, I'll keep an eye on this thread and hopefully it works out. |
I thought it was implied I would be buying the prizes (if there was enough interest to warrant it) it would only be something old or an inde game something cheap, nothing like a full new game or anything. Unless anyone else wanted to pay for a more substantial prize. My idea was more that people entered because they like writing more than the prize being the main draw. As for actually giving them out both steam and GoG offer an option to buy as a gift.
Do you think a dedicated thread just for people's stories would pose a major problem? There will obviously be a limit on length which is TBD. If you have a better option I am open to it, I guess I could set up an email account and just post the best ones in a thread, but that could be a problem with multiple judges and limit the number of people that can read the stories, I guess Google docs is an option for sharing with a small group of judges but that is hardly an elegant solution. So yea unless someone has a better option it will have to be a thread I know it's not the best option but it's the best one I can think of at the moment.
