If folks are interested in seeing this continue, I need another round of writing samples. Send ‘em in please.

Fiction or non-fiction creative writing. 200 words or so. Doesn’t matter if you’ve played in previous rounds or not.

Can you post an explanation of the game for those of us who either forgot or never knew and thus shied away the last time?

Bob, the game is simple – people send me short excerpts from something they’ve written. I post them one at a time and other people critique the writing and guess who the author is.
I make up reasons to give people points – usually to encourage people to critique.
And that's all there is to it.

When's the dead line? I' haven't written anything in years but am starting to keep a journal again? can we submit even after the game starts?

If you think you might submit something, let me know and I'll put you on the "guess from" list so I don't have to edit you in later.

I want to submit something. I'll just have to write it first. I think I'll get right on it, and thus avoid studying.

I sent you a paragraph a few weeks ago, dkw. I wonder if it just got deleted by accident. No matter- I'll submit again.

It did not get deleted. I already had three submissions for the next round, and yours was one of them. Posts: 9866 | Registered: Apr 2002

and whatever you do, don't send stuff, and not put your name on it, and hope that she'll be able to tell from your email address who's story it is, because that would be like, really silly and embarrassing, if anyone did that, not like I did or anything, but...well...I was rushed...I mean, someone could be rushed and forget and....

I'm sending something, just as soon as I find something that no Jatraqueros have read. Then again, if Irami's not playing, I'm free. Fat chance.
so if i post here i'm sending something, but only i only post so i can say i'm posting and not sending so people won't guess me, but they will because i posted?

Just send the excerpt. Most have them have been the beginnings of stories, but they wouldn't have to be.

Good question. I should send out confirmation e-mails. I'll get right on that.
I had intended to have round one up first thing this morning, but I had a funeral. It should be up sometime this afternoon -- I just have to finish the "guess from" list.
I'm sorry that they're kind of form-lettery, but the idea of trying to find 30 ways to personalize "yes I got your entry" made my head spin.
Oh, and if we've already had correspondence about your entry (like, "thanks for entering, who the heck are you?" or "did you really mean to have line-breaks every three words, or did hotmail do that?) then you didn't get a form letter. Otherwise, if you sent an entry and haven't heard from me I probably didn't get it.
