Watashiwa, you might want to look at expending Iron Fic to being beyond TFF as there are no more new members, only a declining member list as people leave or get banned and no one allowed in.

You might want to have it announced here - <a href='http://s3.zetaboards.com/FanFictionFederation/index/' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>http://s3.zetaboards.com/FanFictionFederation/index/</a>

Or perhaps, spacebattles or some such... just saying.

I'd really like the rules to be changed from "n hours from the challenge going up" to "n hours after you read the challenge" with the valid entry period extended through like the whole week; the contest is closed the instant the next challenge goes up.

Right now, I'm committing to participating every week if I can get that n-hour block made flexible like that.
The problem with that is people will lie about when they read it. The best solution is to either extend the time period (which he is doing) or to find out who will be competing beforehand and sending each of them a message at a previously determined time so that they all have different windows.

Yeah, that's the reason I never did that. Since I went out of my way this season to keep Iron Fic at the same time and with the same rules, my hope was that it would stick out in people's minds.

@biigoh: The point of Iron Fic has always been to get more stories written on TFF. Yes, I'd get more entries elsewhere, but this was a contest specifically for TFF. Eventually I might move the contest off-site, but not anytime soon, and not without thinking about it a lot more.

Anyway, today is the day. In four and one half hours the last contest this year will begin.

Wata is wrong. There was only one daniel, but there was a Daneel.

Hey all. Bit of sad news for the two of you; Iron Fic will be taking a break this weekend since I'm going to be in the city for business. If anyone is interested in running their own IF or one of the spin-offs, that would be fine.

See you next week!

That's a LOOOOONG weekend.

But, anyway, Wata, when will the next Iron Fic start up?

Edit: If anyone asks, I didn't look at the date of the last post closely enough and only saw that this was the most recent post. My mistake.

Yep, we can all agree that you have your moments of moronity. (Is that even a word?
 
Color me interested in this year's contest. I didn't know about it until just now, when I had just logged back in a while ago today, but I hope that I have enough time for this during the time limit.

Also, if this is a necro, I apologize. I will do better than that next time.
 
Huh. You learn something new every day.

Anyway, I'm interested in writing, as I can't judge worth anything (yet).

Not feeling up to writing since I swore off crack.
