Questions/general comments

Can I post a William Huang style audition?

So that I can have instafame as a terrible, terrible writer?

Stupid question here.... forgive me but it has been a longgggg month...
Where do we post the stories at.... ?

Two Questions

1. Is knowledge of "American Idol" a prerequisite? an advantage? a hindrance? an admission of guilt?

2. Can entrants edit their entries after they are posted, up to the deadline? (Why wait when I can worry now?)

It'd be safer to make sure your entry is complete and edited to your satisfaction before you post it. After all, not many of those singers got a second shot at their audition!

Obviously entries will be thoroughly considered and reconsidered, but we won't be going back to re-read entries wherever we see an edit record, and if we've already noted something sinister which you later remove, the correction is likely to be disregarded anyway.


EDIT: By the way, that sounded like my mean and moody voice, but it wasn't meant to!

Well, I should have read the rules first. The only thing I edited was the spacing for the title and byline since those mushed up at first.

No worries Dave, you did it so quickly it wasn't even recorded. It'll be fairly obvious where people have made an oh-crap-I-forgot-the-title type edit right after they post, so that's nothing to worry about.

What a GREAT idea!

I love what you are doing Jenna.

hmm, well I didn't title mine--simply my WIP, and I edited because the font sucked.

Should we edit or asterisk any foul language?

Just reading what's already been posted--this is gonna be one heck of a contest! Good work so far, everyone! Looking forward to new entries!

If it's important to know which word you've used, you should disguise it yourself - otherwise the whole word will be blanked out and we won't know what you meant.

i love idol.

can moderators play? i made an entry, but will withdraw if i have to (or because i have nude photos on an adult website or family troubles...something like that)

As far as I know the only people excluded are admins, supermods, judges and vote counters.

This is a really neat idea. I've never seen American Idol, or canadian Idol or anything like that. do they have people who just go up for the fun of it, with no intention of winning? I'm going to do that here.

So, question.
I normaly write humour, or fantasy, but I have a great thoughtful piece that fits into the audition requirements. Should I submit that, or should I try for somthing that shows my usual writing style?

Kida, show your best stuff in a audition (it doesn't matter if you sing jazz or pop or rock or funk or rap...) Pick something that "wows" us. Anything.

Editing

I also edited immediately after posting, to delete the last paragraph to make sure I was under the word count. No further editing.

If only I was a short, curvy brunette.

Wow! I just read all the entries and there's some great stuff there! Can't wait to see this thing progress. Cool idea, Jenna!

Just added my bit. Jenna, I say the finalists should be flown to your house and you set them on some kind of Survivor type thing. I can see it now.

Jenna: "We are now going to clean my house, the first team to finish their tasks first will be granted immunity. I'll see you all tonight at the writers council."
