First Official Facepunch Writing Competition! Fabulous Prizes! - General

Im laughing at Mrs. Shwatsnobber.

Truly Mrs. Shwatsnobber makes the piece. Ignore all other submissions, "Blaze Destroys School" wins 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place hands down.

I should've been editing instead listening to Night Fever on repeat while watching paid programming, now i'm screwed.

I hope we get to find out who won soon. [editline]04:32PM[/editline] Any winners yet? I'm leaving town for four days soon and I'd like to know, since I've been following this for a while.

Edge-of-your-seat Suspense for an estimated two to three days! Ya'll know how to work a crowd.

Yeah, the judges are probably eating ice cream in a montage with happy 90's pop playing in the background while the writers are stuck sitting on their hands for the next 2 days waiting for the results.

I thought I won :saddowns:

I just remembered this thread and that it's August 4th (for me at least, 10:57PM Pacific Standard here.) I'm biting my nails so hard right now. I'm down to the second knuckle. :ohdear:

i'm biting my nails so hard I've developed insomnia.

I ran out of nails to bite, so I had to borrow someone else's.

BEst of luck to all contendants. can't wait to find out who won the special award!

What did you all write about? I wrote about a kid who had a crappy life but when it was his birthday he found out he was a wizard. Wonder if anyone did a Garry's Mod related one.

One of them finds an invisibility ring, and things get [i]Cray-Z[/i].

The Big Bomb probably won by default.

How's progress coming along on judging? Deep in enemy territory, or just skirmishing along the fronts?

Over 64 thousand words for them to read, it's going to take them awhile ;)

Looks like I won't hear the results for a while, I've got cadet camp tomorrow first thing and won't have internet access for at least 2 weeks.

[QUOTE=Big Dumb American;23869160]How's progress on the judgin' front? Deep in enemy territory, or just skirmishing along the fronts?[/QUOTE] We will have the entries completely read by later today, at which point we will likely make some sort of shortlist of 'viable winners.' We'll reread and re-discuss those and decide on a winner. All during this process we will be making lots and lots of notes elaborating on our judgment. I would expect final results on Saturday, but Sunday is likely as well.

A short list sounds good :D will build a lot more tension for the people on it as well.

I've made it about half-way through the pile so far. I read [B][DATA REDACTED][/B] last night before bed. Not much sleep was had. :ohdear:

Ah, we had a lengthy discussion today. Things are moving along well, and the results will be in tomorrow. I'd like to thank everyone for entering. We all had a good time reading your pieces over the last couple days.

Well, I just learned who [u][b][URL="http://myimmortalrehost.webs.com/"]Tara Gilesbie[/URL][/b][/u] is. Can't wait to see the winning entries!

It was a lengthy discussion, we'll be having a final discussion/arguement/war tommorow on who the winners will be. And who gets to be Tara Gillesbie Jr.

Goddammit. I edited up a revised version of your story for you, The Diddler, then I saved it to drafts instead of sending cause I hadn't slept in a fortnight and didn't notice until today. Sorry bro. :(

GOD DAMN IT I NEVER SHOULD'VE TRUSTED YOU FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF No, it's ok I got soulstone

Fuck why did I not see this thread 'til now :( Dammit. Is there another contest planned any time soon?

Well it does say first, so probably.
