ukrocky Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 So panda...how many words we on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePandaDirector Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 Words... words... depends on your definition of "word" really... I'd say... about... none. But I've written out my treatment and some other notes =] These kind of things all come down to a sudden burst followed by more careful adjustment, and if there's one thing uni has taught me it's how to things at the last minute "climb without the rope, as the child did, and fear will find you."

ThePandaDirector Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 Do a Marcus story I mean he has his own dreams, or vision or goal. The dream of the hunt perhaps? Or do a story where Molly kills Hamelin with nothing more than a note pad and a pencil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mako Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 I think I can safely say I've crashed out of this one. The little I had written, I don't like. And I can't get my head into it at the moment. So no round two for me. I claim the award for first DNF of the round! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePandaDirector Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 I claim the award for first DNF of the round! You are unworthy of these realms, you're unworthy of your title, you're unworthy... of the loved ones you have betrayed! I now take from you your power! In the name of my father and his father before, I, Panda Allfather, cast you out! *takes iron quill from Mako* Whosoever holds this quill, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of MAKO!

edonil Posted August 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 I just found out about this today. Maybe I can post something with a [Too Late for Iron Quill] tag? Hey, go for it! The idea is to get people writing, it'd be great to read your stuff. Next round you'll know it's coming and you'll be good to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ukrocky Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 Why not? I like the idea of a mini-iron painter style comp, mainly as I'm absolute trash at painting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePandaDirector Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 Iron Quill is all about getting more people to write, not less It's also far less likely for even someone who wins a round to have time for another (see Mako). I am really interested in looking into the NaNoWriMo or something to stimulate me to write a novel of some sort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
