To reply to Gantic on the previous page, I know for a fact Cen and Zophia have already signed up. I also know that KR isn't doing it, Klaus was taking the piss and I don't know whether Xzeno signed up.
Therefore the prerequisite would be for Gantic, Zophia and Cenere all to post on that thread at the very least!
Is that all? No money or anything? Well then, count me out!
Well, you probably could not have made it anyway with that attitude. And then there is the number of people who have gotten their works published afterwards, earning money as an author and so on....
The prize is the writing you end up having. If you've made a story that's really worth reading, you might continue with getting it published and stuff.
But the prize is the satisfaction of having achieved that story.
So yeah, as Cen said, with an attitude of being willing to do it only if you get some sort of reward, then no, it isn't the thing for you.
Dude.... I have the oldest account. It's older than all of your accounts combined. Yeah, my failures are very heartening, considering I failed twice. :P
But the prize is the satisfaction of having achieved that story.
Not unless it's completely unreadable, then you've only achieved 50,000+ words. :P There are cheaters every year who do just that.
That really does depend on your own definition of winning, because mine says that winning is to actually write a piece of work, not just get 50000 pages. Sure, I probably will not be able to complete, but my goal is just as much to write this new genre and a character made from scratch.
