Infinity Writing Contest - WarGarage.org

Just... one... more... rewrite...

 

@infoholico @taylor

I presume entrants should not share here any of what they might’ve written so’s to stay within the pre-publication rule of the event.

I also presume we shouldnt discuss any details of our stories so’s to keep our submissions anonymous for the judges.

Is that correct, and can you clarify any other prohibitions, please?

I‘m interested to know who among us did submit a story, and for us to discuss at least the general process and the quality of whatever we managed to get submitted in the end; is that acceptable?

 

Okay, thanks. So should we feel free to discuss anything at all - like posting excerpts from the stories, or our loglines; whic id be very interested to see?

 

May I ask who managed to get their story submitted in time?

I did, and was generally pleased just to have finished it; but I could've wished to improve my logline and make it more representative of the actual story.

 

@taylor Could you share some of the loglines with us, please?

 

Here's a fun thing about this contest: I was shown it by some friends from the Brazilian Infinity Community and then I was about to submit my story when one of my coworkers told me she draws art. That ended up delaying my submission by 2 months as she worked on the art piece for my story, and in the meanwhile I ended up scrapping the whole thing and writing a new one.

I'm quite satisfied with the end result though. Both the story and the art.

 

Yeah my logline isn't particularly informative or exciting...

 

I copied mine directly out of a Jo Nesbø crime thriller and changed the name of the central character. And it shows

 

Was the new story inspired or influenced by her artwork?

 

Heh, go to the fanart forum. You'll see what I'm talking about.

 

I submitted.

Fingers crossed.

 

I know you’re likely busy with much more important things, just curious if you have an updated eta for publication of theses stories?

 

@taylor I believe you also have “Losing My Religion”

You may want to edit your post, just so all the other authors have a transparent lens as to what content has been uploaded.

- just a thought!

 

I'm still unclear what we should feel free to discuss here about our stories or not, but I'd like to put a shout out to a couple of other forum members:
@oldGregg, who helped with direction, content and indefatigable moral support from the outset; and @AdmiralJCJF who provided some crucial 'Human Sphere Fact Checking' later in the process. Thanks to both you guys!

 

Happy to help mate.
Looking forward to reading the full text sometime!
