Entry submitted, here's hoping. Good luck to everyone else.
Meh. In the end I could only get an item to about 85% of where I wanted it to be.
Expect to see me posting further information and clarifications on it in the event that it gets through to the last 32.
Good job Charles! I wish you the best of luck and a very happy New Year.

I threw in too. I've also seen a number of people who I've either read their work they generously post freely here on the boards, through Open Design, or reading their previously published stuff post here that they've entered, and I'm really excited for what's to come. I think this is going to be a really fantastic season for RPG Superstar.
Good luck, Adam! I'm glad you were able to enter the contest this year.

But you did end up submitting? Good for you! I was hoping you would.
Finally, I post my wondrous item and it was my first item I created. It helped me to understand all the analyze and the read needed to create an magic item and how the spell gets a role in the creation of magic item.

Good job!
Entering the contest cost you nothing, but you gained something out of the experience. Something from nothing is always a bargin! You might even make it to the first round! Good luck!
I'm in.
Still looking for that elusive 'booted out in the second round'. ;)
I'm in. Good luck everyone.
Well, FBOW, I dropped my entry in. First one in three contests. Finally figured the worst that could happen is I didn't win and I'd still be right where I was anyway.
Good luck everyone!
As was pointed out in another thread, there's only two hours left people! Get submitting! :D
well that took me longer than expected, but finally submitted.
Congratulations to all who submitted! And good luck!
Just sent mine in. Hardest part for me has been and always will be naming things. Can't just say "It does this go use it!". Good luck to everyone who submitted can't wait for the 19th!
I wasn't going to do it, because I really should be getting other work done. But I'm in.
Good luck everyone.
I'm in. Best of luck to us all.
Yeah RealTom you made it.
And for an update:
pg1 –12 entrants (entreants?)
pg 2 – 8
pg 3--16
]pg 4-- 14
Page 5 – 7
Pg 6 -- 8
Pg 7—14
79 so far.
I figure it is more like one in nine entrants that tell us they post making the total close to the 800+ of the first year. I also figured there was a drop in the second year as everyone realized just how tough these turnarounds could be and expect an increase this year over last.
In NANOWRIMO you only have to cross the finish line to win. In that fashion, I am naming you all winners!

I sent mine in this morning. The Cult of Done helped me alot (it's a lot less sinister than it sounds :).
Good luck to everyone. Can't wait to see how awesome the competition is.
Just about to enter. How many words are in "all work and no play make Sebastian a dull boy?"
I have heard it said that it is ten. But I can neither confirm nor deny that. And that nice Mr. Orcus will punish you severely if you enter a gag item that is for any purpose other than shutting someone up.

Just about to enter. How many words are in "all work and no play make Sebastian a dull boy?"Depends on how many times you repeat it. :D
30 times will keep you from getting an auto-reject for word count. Of course, doing that might get another rant out of Clark. :)
Entry submitted, here's hoping. Good luck to everyone else.
Ditto!
I kept saying I wasn't going to do it, wasn't going to do it, and now I JUST submitted with 4 minutes to spare off an idea I had during the Winter Classic. Haha fun!
Good luck all!
I'm in! I submitted yesterday. After looking it over one last time and deciding any change would make it worse. I fear I'm too close to a spell in a can though. Still, it was fun.
Good luck everyone!
Now comes the hard part, waiting two weeks...
Congrats to all who entered. Whatever may happen, you all have already won in one sense--the process of creation is itself an achievement. I dont say that to be cheesy, its true. Making the decision to do it, working on it, following through and then having the nerve to submit your item for scrutiny is a major accomplishment. And, frankly, you have done all that you can do. The rest is up to us and you have no control over that part at this point. So from an effort standpoint you have done everything you can do--someone who makes or misses the cut has done the same stuff.
Good job!
Are you saying that there wasn't any point in me sending a pony over to you, Sean and Wes?
Pony, no. I gave mine to Lisa.

No, no, he sent one pony to three of you. Obviously, there was a hacksaw involved in this process somewhere. :)
Man, I could totally eat a pony right now...
Oh uh yeah. I'm in, and I have to thank Neil and Clark for their help and “just go for it anyway” prodding. Also thanks for the whole contest in the first place.
If you ever do an EDITSuperstar™ contest for editors, my girlfriend is a shoe-in.
Edit: Trademarked!
I felt that it made a nice statement about the unity of the judges. All a part of the same whole! Plus, if they have a needle and thread then they may be able to knit the pieces together and make a nice undead beastie.No, no, he sent one pony to three of you.

Hurray!

Very cool. What mini is that? I would love to see it.Entered. Not sure how I feel at this time. Lots of relief and excitement, a ton of worry and doubt.I know that this is extremely off the subject but I am painting a miniature that looks a lot like your avi! :o)
These are the miniatures I'm working on, the guy that sent them to me to paint wanted similar color scheme to the ones in the picture on Reaper and mine seem to be turning out excellent! I'll post pictures of *mine* on Facebook as soon as they're done. :o)

Thank you!
The guy who asked me to paint these wanted very much the look from the reaper site. I tried my best to make them similar but in no way am I as talented as Derek Schubert, the artist who painted the sea elves on reaper's site. Sphew awesome work there! I'm getting better little by little. I've only been painting since October '09. I love it!
But anyway, returning this thread back to it's original topic (woops).

2) Inspiration Could Strike Anew - There's just no guarantee that your first idea will be the best...or even the idea that you select from among several you initially dreamed up. I know I had about three different ideas when I started out last year. I worked for quite sometime on the first one, but it was very complicated to word it just right in 200 words or less. Plus, my idea for the last leaves just kept calling to me. So, somewhere in the early going, I abandoned the other idea to focus on it. And, obviously, I'm very glad I did.
I had one item I was working on that I could not word correctly either. It had nothing to do with word count, just an idea that was weird, necromatic, and down right sinister, so thus, it still sits on my shelf until I can figure it out. However, I did see an item in the self rejected thread that was hauntingly similar, so I am glad I could not figure it out. :D

I wouldn't necessarily say that, it's obvious from looking at the two miniatures, you use a different style, and possibly you use paints that have thicker pigmentation.
I didn't submit anything, as I loathe rejection. :(
Sorry to hear that. I am sure you have more to offer the community than you think. Try to remember what Chaucer said, "Nothing ventured, nothing gained."
Or, one of my personal favorite Latin phrases... Fortes fortuna adiuvat which means, "Fortune favors the brave."
Hope you'll try next year!
