some interrogatories:
Ooga booga be there blind voting with no names attached to these stories to keep an open mind during voting? I'm sure I can spot out most people's prose anyway. My titles probably give me away. This one probably not a big deal.
Ooga booga be there a variation in the types of prompts that will be posted? The popular detailed plot prompt? Vague phrase prompt? Picture prompt? Narrative limitation?

I'm pretty sure my prose is gonna be recognizable too but that's okay! I'm interested to see if voting will be blind or not.

Ooga booga they could lock the threads to be visible to registered members only and delete the files after voting, which I would also prefer.

Now where is the skull-creaming line?
@Utah: Can you change the music to Pantera's Walk. Or War Pigs?
Actually being an alternate is like being the sniper who can drop someone's creamed skull into their lover's lap causing Blood and Semen to splatter everywhere.
I would love that job.

Rebecca, remind you at all of the anonymous five minutes of shame?
That is half the fun of the blindness.
@Nikki: I am not sure if you were asking if this is blind or not. It is blind. Stories will be posted nameless for the poll portion.
edit: Nevermind, I see what you mean; it might not be completely blind because of stylistic mindprinting.

Thanks for clarifying that cuz my priapic cranium was about to cream itself beneath the mounting quizzical tension and explode like a phallic stick of Wylie Coyote ACME dynamite thereby scattering a shrapnel of blood and militant seed into the starving mouths of upturned heads looking to the skies for a fleshlight to guide them.

We could introduce an element of shame. If there are some BDSM subs on who don't feel right unless they're feeling wrong, we can definitely create a shame-factory for those who don't make it through the first three rounds.

Or should we all try to write the opposite of how we write. That would mess up everything. It would be chaos. Like Captain America working for the Nazis. Americantypo has to write romance. Becky has to write Tucker Max fiction, avery has to write about an independant single gal in the city and I have to write really butch hetero fiction about football.
