Sorry, Niichan. I'll be updating the list of winners this weekend and delivering the badges right after. Couldn't do it before due to some exams I had this week

[niichan]No big deal =)[/niichan]

Re: All-Purpose Art Contest Discussion Thread

I was wondering, maybe a word count next time would be more viable? Because dialogues one word or ten take up one line regardless ^^;
Or has that been considered and rejected for a reason before?

Re: All-Purpose Art Contest Discussion Thread

Maybe we can follow this guideline:

Other definitions place the maximum word count of the short story at anywhere from 1,000 to 9,000 words. In contemporary usage, the term short story most often refers to a work of fiction no longer than 20,000 words and no shorter than 1,000, or 5 to 20 pages.
?

Re: All-Purpose Art Contest Discussion Thread

Yeah, we can use that^^ (the word count option). We decided on a length limit so the story would be indeed short and people would read it, and I thought that a line count would be a simpler to do it. I'll check that 20.000 criterion and then we can go with something along that in the next contest.

Re: All-Purpose Art Contest Discussion Thread

Ah I thought so. Well this is going to be a bit complicated and an opinion from a total amateur but how about something like:
- Cutting down to max ~40 lines, but
- If there were lines part of a sentence from a previous line that only have two words or less, they don't count towards a line;
- Sentences or dialogues that are less than half the length of a full line counts as half a line?

This way it would keep the story short in appearance (hence easily readable) while solving the one-word-one-line and dialogue issue (since sometimes a line could be simply 3 words for a dramatic build-up or something, but it's too short to account for anything really.)

Re: All-Purpose Art Contest Discussion Thread

If you want, we can use the standard for flash fiction instead (300-1000 words) so it wouldn't be too long.

Re: All-Purpose Art Contest Discussion Thread

I think the word count is a good solution... also it's the most used for magazines and sites for submitting short stories to be published, at least the ones I know of...
That also gives more liberty to writing them...
A story could be made mainly of short dialogs, that would extend the "lines", but would be within a limit of words and it can be done in a way the reader won't even notice it's somewhat "long" :)

Re: All-Purpose Art Contest Discussion Thread

Yay \o

Ok, so we can use a word count! I don't think that a mixed criteria involving lines and words counts will be necessary then, Utsune^^ Now we just gotta check the ammount of words that will be fitting for the contests, but I appreciate the suggestions a lot!
