Since the chapter limit was lowered to 5, why are we keeping the 2000 word upper limit?
We are keeping the 2000 words upper limit so the chapters dont get too long and they stay overall in a comparable and judgable format. (what i have seen till now is that the lower limit of 400 seems to be more of an issue eventually)
Dont forget that only the first 5 chapters are needed to be eligible for the contest and only the first 10 chapters will get judged if you write that many.
You can of course say that you only want the first 5 chapters judged if you write more, thats also ok.
If you write after that then 50 chapters more, you can write them in whatever length and style you prefer
I will definitely participate, my AAR will begin using your graphics mod package within a couple days following 1.2's release.
I already use it and really like it.
I may have a hard time with the chapter limit, but Im okay with only the first few begin judged! The word limit is not an issue, Ill break it up accordingly.
I have an idea of what Ill do, but keeping the surprise.
Glad you are liking my MIP, thank you for using it. Great to see you planning to sign up for the contest, i look forward to read what you are writing.
------------------
To make it crystal clear, i explain it in a few words here:
- You write 5 chapters according to the rules.
You are now eligible for the contest to be judged. You can decide to write as many chapters more as you want to, and the next 5 chapters will still be judged as long they are still according to the rules.
You can also decide that the chapters after your 5th chapter dosent get judged for the contest any more and then the rules are all off for your AAR there.
- You write 5 chapters plus 5 chapters more.
You are still eligible for the contest to be judged. You can of course write as many chapters more as you want to, but everything after the 10th chapter wont be judged for the contest any more.
The rules are all off for your AAR after the 10th chapter in any circumstance.
If one of the chapters 6-10 is not according to the rules, they all will be excluded from judging and only your first 5 chapters will get judged.
You can allways modify any chapter till the 01-11-2010, that is the date on what the judges will be invited to begin reading the contesting AAR´s.
You can still write new chapters after this date till the 15-11-2010, but not modify older ones.
I hope that clarifies everything, if anyone has further questions just ask them
