ForbiddenPlanet's Sci-Fi Smackdown 2.0...

Gah!

I am sooo tempted to write again, although I'm not sure what my chances would be like considering those who have already entered.

NOT TO MENTION! I have been falling behind on other obligations already. Reviewing, for example. I have had a lot going on outside of Wattpad and I haven't been able to spend ANY time reading :(

I love these smack downs though, I hope you all have fun!

Count me in as a contestant please...This sounds fun. Especially the surprise rounds. :)

@drDevil ...you *think* the surprise rounds would be fun, but then you find yourself with a half-done story 4 days before it is due ;) hahaa.

@parishsp Ssshhhhh...I am still in a good mood. I prefer to call them half-begun stories. I still have a few of those floating around on my computer, crying and glaring at me for abandoning them. They hunt me in my nightmares. Finish me...finish me...finish me...!

@drDevil - haha ;) That sounds like what my last entry for the smackdown 1.5 is doing as we speak.

Oh good, it's not just me then? @parishsp We are quite a lot friend, the longer they give me, the lazier I become :)

@drDevil welcome aboard!

I really think you should seriously reconsider @sigrist

*whispers* get the chains for sigrist @theolddarkness

@nikayaya @theolddarkness

haha, I'm still thinking about reconsidering *blush* I just feel like a d-bag taking on more responsibilities.

That being said, I'm probably much more likely to pump out a bunch of stories than read and review the ones that are lined up in my inbox...

It would also give me an opportunity to bounce back from my defeat in smack down 1.5.....

@nikayaya - nope. I have successfully rewritten the first 1000 words twice since the start, but have yet to add to it. I might just turn in one heck of a beginning, & encourage the reader to make up the rest as they see fit :) haha... maybe then I will atleast get some points for creativity?

@parishsp I guess I used a similar tactic for the fantasy smack down? It was a pretty safe bet in that case though, no way I wouldn't make it past the first round of that one, what with the lack of entries :S

@sigrist don't remind me of the fantasy smackdown. Haven't even looked at the images for round 2 yet.

Reply Report

@theolddarkness Oh you really should, they're pretty good.

I've got about 3500 words? I think I like this story MUCH better than the one I wrote for the first round.

@sigrist Panicking already!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

@ForbiddenPlanet - alright. So I said during the last scifi smackdown I would sign up for the next one... but man. 5 rounds?

Eh. Sign me up. I'll just pray I get eliminated early.

All right ... going to try and widen my writing pallet here. Count me in.

*slaps @seeMISARCHIST on the back* WOOT! Granted, i want you to write an amazing masterpiece of work for this, we can also pray for our early release together. XDD

@sigrist - good to hear you like this round's images. XD I got so many complaints on the last round *Sigh* There's no pleasing some people.

@theolddarkness - There's a link on the first page of the thread if you don't feel like digging for them. ^_^

Ah, I really enjoyed the last smackdown, but I don't think I'll be able to do this one. I'm already halfway into the fantasy smackdown...

Meh, what the hell. We're two rounds in, with plenty of time to write for each round. Count me in, sir!

@ForbiddenPlanet I'm really tempted to enter, but I think I'm too busy with the fantasy smackdown. I've also never written sci-fi before. How long are the rounds? I may be interested in judging.

@dreamingthought I liked the pictures for the first round too! I hadn't realized people complained...

@ForbiddenPlanet I think I might sign up for this one too. I'm done classes now, and pretty well done with my entry for the other smack down.

Reply Report

@sigrist Awesome! Three smackdowns in a row against you, sir! I agree wholeheartedly on bouncing back from the shame of the previous smackdown. That was not a good time for me...

@drDevil @dreamingthought @seeMISARCHIST @JamesDSwinney @sigrist

Welcome aboard guys! Nice to have you all here!

@Lost_In_A_Dream

A week to write your entry, then a week allowed for judging! Go on... it'll be fun :)

@ForbiddenPlanet Are there still openings for participants? I would like to play. :D

I am slowly getting nervous. A week is going to snap my patience in terms of motivation, I bet. I'll just take it out on customers at work. >:D

@ForbiddenPlanet Considering that there is a very good chance I will get out on round one, sure, I'll try! Sign me up!

@JamesDSwinney I also didn't like my round 2 story nearly as much as I liked my round 1 story from the last sic-fi smack down. This time it'll be you and me in the end? Haha

@Lost_In_A_Dream I found that a week was much easier a deadline to meet than two weeks was. Two weeks gives me too much time to procrastinate, then it never gets done. Where as, with just one week you're all "Damn, gotta get this done!" No false sense of security and that, you know?
