Ehi and welcome to this new WriteOff round!
This message is going to be short… I’ve been kidnapped by changelings…
Keep your pony stories under 750 words or Chrysalis will hex you.
Don’t disclose your identity or Chrysalis will cocoon you.
No fancy prompt or Chrysalis will bug you.
Start your work Saturday 12GMT and submit it by Sunday 12GMT or Chrysalis will bore holes in your exoskeleton.
HELP! HELP! SHE’S COMING…

Well. I'll be entering this one. Sigh..... why ROGER whhhhhhyyyyyyy!? So get ready for some intense reviews.
Quick someone place "tra la la" and "ding dong" as their prompts and I love them forever and ever!
Hmm. I may try to enter. Though My entire writing period takes place during a DnD session here everyone gets pissed at me if I so much as look at my laptop.
3am writing, ho!
3am writing, ho!
For once I know I have a dedicated chunk of writing time during the day, meaning I won't be up half the night struggling to finish something.
It! Is! On!
It! Is! On!

Actually, considering the prompt that's been selected, I believe the more apropos phrasing would be, "let's do it." :trollestia:

Huh. I think the word limit actually helped my story. I cut more than two hundred words from it without ever impacting the plot.
I has writted a story
it is the good story
everypone will know it is me but I do not care about this thing it is good

Disqualified for breaching prompt anonymity! :V
As for me, I'm on vacation in Seattle, but I'm on a long bus ride right now and should be able to do something with this idea I've got.

Woot, panicked too soon. Story idea #1 is growing unbounded at a rapid pace, but story idea #2 has ended at a length that can probably be pared-down for submission.

Crap crap crap. I've got like, 4 hours left to write something... And I have no real good ideas. :/
I kinda slapped together a cruddy entry for the last competition, and I'm running dry tonight... Not really a good trend, and I'd hate to miss another write off... Come on thinkin meats! Get to work! O.o

Second story complete.
Probably also easy to guess as one of mine, even though it's definitely not my usual submission.
I think that's it for me for this round. Good luck, everypony!

Ugh... This story is fairly mediocre, but at least it's something. Now all I need is space for an extra fifty words or so, so I can finish it!
Once again I say... Ugh. :/
Once again I say... Ugh. :/
Huh, what do you guys think? I saw this was up, saw the prompt, thought No way can I write about any of the typical stuff--so I guess I'm out this round.... and wondered if I could think of anything else, immediately came up with something, and for once opened a doc and started typing without overthinking it. Now I have...just over 300 words. The question is, should I finish and submit it? There's not much time left, it's already late in my time zone, and honestly, I'm not sure the story is any good at all. I kinda like it, but that's because it's straight from my brain. I dunno if it's worth submitting when I'm pretty sure I'll only get neutral-to-negative comments on it.
>>Kitcat36
If you've got the time, I say go for it. Neutral-to-negative feedback is still feedback, and you'll have that much more writing experience under your belt. :>

Cards on the table, I don't really like my entry, but I've been fighting with unproductivity for a long time now, and I'll be damned if I skip out on another Writeoff. You guys are just going to have to deal with a less-than-absolutely-perfect story. :P
>>FrontSevens
That is a good point. I'll try it. I hope I get useful feedback. I can see this getting just frustrated comments at poor writing or something...that's my fear. I'm particularly nervous because I think I'm just going to get something like, "That's a tricky writing technique and it wasn't well executed" or "...and it didn't work [for this story]". That...would suck.

The theme of my minific changed midway through the writing process, but I feel that this still needs to be said.
Happy International Survivors of Suicide (SOS) Day. I personally have been positively influenced by a friend and by MLP itself to not act negatively while under the influence my depression. If you are struggling, get help. You are not alone. Don't do something in your depression that you would never even think of doing in your rationally thinking mind.

I really wish I'd had time to start this before 2 hours ago. I'm hyper distracted and sleepy. But I'm gonna get something in. Provided I stop doing thing like posting here to buy a minute while I try and figure out my next paragraph.
>>AndrewRogue
I'm in much the same boat. My sleep schedule is wacked so I crashed right before the prompt released, wasted 12 hours in bed, then got pulled into the free Overwatch weekend with some friends. Now I'm down to ~3 hours to go from blank page tomasterpiece passable work. Same thing (i-sh) happened last time, too, so we'll see how it goes.
Game on.

Excellent. My post-coital Sweetie Belle/Stephen Magnet shipfic, titled "Fuckin' Magnet, How Does It Work?!" is completed and submitted. I'll try not to flaunt my shiny gold medal to y'all.
Got at least one entry in for this one. Taking people's advice and continuing to publish. Let us see how it will fare.

Woohoo! After missing the last... lots of writeoff events, I finally got something in for this one. I mean, I should be finishing off this final research paper that makes up most of the grade of one of my classes that I won't pass without completing it on time, but priorities, y'know? ;)

Holy cow! Got in a second one JUST under the wire. First attempt I had as an idea last night right as I went to bed (right when the prompt vote closed) but I was sleeping and then busy with other stuff most of the day, so only had 5 hours total for this contest. Spent an hour writing and two hours editing it down. That left just under two hours for a second entry. 30 minutes brainstorming, 20 minutes writing, a 20 minute break to clear my head, and 20 more minutes writing, then last minute editing and formatting.
The funny thing is I'm more proud of the entry that I only wrote in 40 minutes with no planning than the one floating and being planned in my head all day. But this is why I don't practice dentistry on talented equines. I don't care how fickle the muse is, so long as she shows up in time! Which she did... barely. So yay! Let's DO THIS!

Oh dear. This likely means I've also failed my recent Street 101 final, as it seems I have failed to distinguish between a G and a D.

Best of luck to everyone that entered! I was really excited to enter this go around, but unfortunately, that didn't happen. I suffered some really bad injuries on the basketball court, and it left me disabled from writing last night--darn.
Though, I plan to read and write reviews. Not sure how much I can help, but I'll try.
Well wishes everyone! And happy Thanksgiving. :V

Live readings!
May happen tomorrow, at about 20:00 GMT, or two o'clock central, if I'm calculating correctly.
If you're interested in listening to me or maybe Quill read a story out loud which might be your story, drop into the Discord channel around then.
It should be about 22 hours from now?

Alright, one-seventh of the stories is all I can handle today. I'll need to pause here for a day or two because exam grading takes precedence. But I will be back for more later, have no fear. :twilightsmile:

Imma be a bad wolf pony and take a short break from grading to do some more reading and reviews. :V

Hmm, I'm getting more uphooves for "I'm going to write reviews" than my actual reviews. :V
Hopefully I'm not accidentally being to harsh and pissing everypony off. :fluttershyouch: I tend to be direct in a way that can make my review seem like I hated a story, when in truth I enjoy virtually all of them.

I dunno, man, when I write something I don't feel great about, I find that a little Dairy Queen perks me right up. But you're right about needing to be careful with it; those calories do add up.
First, a word: please be careful not to DQ yourself, even if you're not confident in or feel bad about your work.

>>Trick_Question
I've been reading everyone else's reviews for stories I've looked at (not that many so far, sadly), and I think the reviews I've read by you seem very helpful, not harsh at all. They're the kind of reviews I most like to get, since they give details of what actually worked for the reader and what didn't, and have specific sections to focus on and different ways to approach problem sections, etc. I won't say whether you've gotten to my fic yet, because I don't want to compromise my anonymity, but I hope you and everyone else keep the reviews up. Speaking from my experience as a newbie writer, the more feedback, the better! And as a newbie, I know I really need the help!

Recordings!
Of four live readings and three discussions that we did before I departed to attend a controlled exsanguination.
We read:
Entering and Breaking
Scorpion Days
The Princess Sleeps
After Party
We also discussed them, but I left directly after reading After Party, so it only has the reading recorded.
There were also readings after I left, but I wasn't there to record them. I apologize.
This is a link to the google Docs folder where you can download them as MP3's.

It may be a bit early to do a review of the underrated, but here in the States, tomorrow is the Feast of St. Tryptophan and the day after is Shopping Mall Battle Royale. Thus, better to get it out before people have to deal with holiday obligations and bloodlust-inducing bargains.
"Moon Bright" (#3,) "Romancing an Alicorn" (#27,) "The Power of the Sun" (#34,) "Post Metamorphosis" (#36,) "Don't Speak" (#37,) "Wings" (#41,) "After Party" (#49,) and "Dawn" (#50) all have only three reviews each.
"Breaking the Mold" (#38) has four comments by three different people.
Now you know, and knowing is half the Writeoff.

The tryptophan thing is an urban legend.
BtM now has five comments by four ponies.
Wait WHAT? Oh buckit! I thought the Gallery was shuffled for every reader! I've been reviewing them from 1 to 50 because I thought my order was unique, otherwise I'd randomly permute them and use that order.
:facehoof:
Is there any way they could be permuted? Maybe they have the same numbers, but if you're logged in, you might have your own order they appear in the Gallery by which the forward-and-back arrows agree with...? (Or at least maybe the Gallery could start with a random number and then proceed normally down and wrap around to 1.)
That's a lot to ask of Roger, but I had no idea I was making this mistake. This is very likely why most of the "only three reviews" are the higher numbers.

>>Trick_Question You probably made that mistake because the prompts are shuffled randomly, so the top one doesn't get all the votes. Although...
I think it used to do this, now that you mention it. It probably stopped when Roger re-worked the ballots, because they now have a built-in shuffler and most people read off of them anyways.

>>Not_A_Hat
I do that except when I know I'll have time to review them all.
So maybe it doesn't matter much in my case, but it does mean the later stories will need to wait much longer for commentary. That can have an effect on the voting if I see something another author didn't, or vice versa, but then again the stories are randomized to begin with so I might be overworried. :derpytongue2:

Radio Writeoff
Isn't happening today.
Sorry.
Instead, we're doing
Gentle Writeoff Chat
(With possible story readings)
Because Quill has bubonic plague or something, I dunno, he can't talk much?
That's happening about ONE HOUR later then we'd previously planned, in an attempt to include Dubs Rewatcher (who has apparently escaped his bus.)
So join us at about 3:00 in the afternoon central time, which is about
one hour and fourty minutes
from now, if you'd like to talk with us and maybe listen to us read some stories?

I gotta prep one myself. The lesser of my two stories is not at all likely to make the cut.
I'm certain the better one will make it, and there's not much I'd change about the story (sometimes you gotta disagree with your critics).

Okay! Ranking is finally done.
Surprises (to me):
Maybe I'm getting cynical and picky, but I was really underwhelmed by most of the stories this time. :fluttershyouch: The only two I will demand get published on Fimfiction are Abhorrent Amalgamation (please change the title kthx) and Happily Ever After* (but not sure you can expand this any more without totally ruining it), and for all you applebuckers know I'm a raving douche and I wrote both of those and I hate everypony who isn't me because I'm the best all of you die in a river bleaaaaarrrgh.
After those two, my next favorite story? Day One. Seriously, I'm not making this up. It was creative, it had an interesting and upbeat message, and I was right there in Luna's horseshoes the entire time. It wasn't as technically beautiful as most of the stories, but I didn't get the 'random' feeling most readers did. I don't know if it can be made publishable in a way that most readers would enjoy it, so I don't know what to recommend to the author.
Or maybe I wrote that one too and I'm still a self-absorbed writer who thinks she's better than everypony else.
Maybe I wrote ALL the stories. :rainbowdetermined: Suck it. :facehoof:
For the record, just so I don't seem crazy: conditionally, I think A Good Filly should definitely be published too, but it needs work—the motif bothered me enough that it got dinged by a few slots, so Day One ended up scoring higher. There were a plenty of other stories this time that were amazing writing but didn't seem to relate to ponies at all, which hurt them: Scorpion Days is probably the most well-written story in the contest but the connections didn't make sense and some of the meaning was overly-subtle (or just didn't speak to me personally).
Filthy Rich took 70% in my rating, and there's no way it will make the cut. I'm so, so sorry. I just don't know what went wrong. (Did I mention I was underwhelmed?)
Good luck everypony! :pinkiehappy:

I feel the same way. I've gotten through about half the stories this round, and nearly all of them landed in some shade of "meh" for me. I guess sometimes we have amazing events where every story feels like a top contender, and sometimes we just don't. Or, maybe, I'm just being a grouch. Who can say? :P

Georg’s first Round Micro Reviews for the new stories on my slate The Morning After Scores are letter grades for Plot, Technical Work, and Characterization mushed together, with an E for stories I find particularly Enjoyable. Ranked by how I like them, not necessarily how perfect they are on the score. (and posted all at once, from top to bottom so they line up on the chat.)
I want to apologize to the authors of the roughly 25 or so stories that I haven't read or reviewed. I don't think I'm going to get around to yours before the end of the prelims, and I feel really bad about it. I prided myself on getting through all the different entries during my first two writeoffs, and this time, I have failed you all in the most horrific way.
Where is my flail. D:
Where is my flail. D:
Okay, I think that's all the reviews I have time for tonight. I got about half of the stories read, but I put them off for too long to write reviews for all of them. I'll try to get more reviews done in the finals, and if anyone who doesn't make the cut wants to know what I thought of their story, I'll be glad to let you know if you ask.
I'll see you all in finals!
I mean, when I next get online, prelims will be over and the finals will have begun. I have no idea if my story will make the cut or not.
