THE LONG WALK 1: Fools' March  so what's this then this is where you get to do something about writing that novel you've always had inside you and can finally get all the sounds cool how does it work round about the first day of every month I put a thread up and you post in it to say how much new writing you're gonna post by 2359 PST on the last day of that month. lol imma post one word 'lol' there I won lol there's a 4k word minimum. you can pledge more if you like, but 4k is the ante. what happens if I gently caress it up every promise has to have a  attached. you fail, you get banned.how should I post my stuff up to you, but a link to a gdoc with comments enabled is best that way you won't restrict your publication options later. can I do short stories sure. It has to be new words (prose, poetry, limericks) but otherwise you can post whatever as long as you make the wordcount can I critpost, shitpost, or shart my jorts don't really care, it's not the thunderdome so just follow the exhortations of your clotted goony heart but keep in mind that detailed crits of longform stuff aren't super useful; better to keep them general. normal CC rules apply so be harsh but helpful is there an irc channel yes, if you've signed up: synirc, #longwalk ock? sure, little buddy. ock. April fools: sebmojo, 5k yep Sittinghere, 5k yep Capntastic, 5k yep Systran, 10k yep Crabrock, 10k yep grizpat's mum, 5k yep entenzahn, 5k why yuhuh ravenkult, 5k but of course redtonic, 5k that's a rog' ironic twist, 6k yep chthonic bell, 10k  FAILhammer bro, 7.5k da screaming idiot, 5k no problemo bompacho 4k si Martello 5k oui docbeard 5k yeps Docklock 5k why yes indeedy Morning bell, 5k yes Killfast37, 20k yuhuh Fumblemouse, 4k you betcha muffin 5k reademanweep sebmojo fucked around with this message at 23:49 on May 2, 2015 |

Screaming Idiot posted:Silly, stupid question from a sillh, stupid man: Can entries written for the Thunderdome count? I'm thinking of entering, but I need to know so I can adjust my word pledge accordingly. If they do count, then I need to raise it significantly. New words, is the idea. I think we probably need to rule out chucking in old tdome pieces to make up the numbers otherwise everyone will do it. OTOH if you want to expand a 1k dome story into 5k that's fine. Don't try and rules lawyer this imo, just write, or don't. sebmojo fucked around with this message at 20:53 on Mar 31, 2015 |

Hammer Bro. posted:Wait, you can do that? I wrote like a thousand words, then threw half of 'em away, rewrote five hundred more, and don't like reading them either. noone cares, tbh. This is a toxx-rod for people who want to pick it up and apply it to their rear end; but be aware angel opportunity/systran is the designated Toxxecutioner so attempts to soft-pedal your effort might be unwise.

Screaming Idiot posted:Might I suggest a new thread for editing? Sure, it's one thing to write 5k or 50k or 500k, but that's all just random hunks of marble waiting to be carved. We already have NaNoWriMo -- why not NaNoEdMo instead? Do it if you want to, you don't need a permission slip.

angel opportunity posted:Doesn't sound like it? Dude/ttes. Work with me here. There does need to be some kind of certification, because otherwise the whole thing is pointless. At some point a pm has to be sent, and a mod has to be convinced that a goon made a promise and failed to meet it, and someone has to be banned. That needs to be a clear line, so no extensions. If you really really don't want to be sending draft stuff out then link a gdoc in irc then turn off sharing once it's been looked at or something, I don't actually care, but we need a list of people who signed up and then to cross names off as they make their toxx and pm whoever is left on 1 May to the mods fer banning'. It's ok to nut this stuff out here, because I'm gonna be posting these for at least 12 months for whoever wants to participate so we might as well get the messy details sorted up front. Systran agreed to be the toxx enforcer out of kindness and his own particular brand of mildly psychotic whimsy so please don't make it hard for him. However I'll do it this month as per above (including banning myself if I don't write 4k in the next 24 hours, ggn), and we can discuss April's Long Walk next month. sebmojo fucked around with this message at 23:30 on Apr 29, 2015 |

I have written the last 2700 words of this document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1cpoy91CQJ6wrpm8FIC4C7aR2WaZiF-12kRcfxk3V4M4/edit and have around 2300 to go. I'm heading up North in about 18 hours so I'll post by then. Because of that the Toxx check will occur an unspecified period after deadline, so you may have a little leeway on this one. Best not to count on it tho.
