        Slow but steady, I'd say.

        We need more interest really, around 5 extra people making their presence known as Spec just did.

          ...oh, and don't forget to post in here, from time to time, say something, anything, if you are in, let us know you are still about, " I'm still about!" people say they are in but we don't know if they are still out there, they may have drifted away. The web is fickle, things happen. Occasionally it's just down to those pesky aliens, it does happen, alien abduction and all of that. They seem to like writers, probably think they will be written about later on, they came in the middle of the night, bright lights, I saw earth growing smaller out of the port window....



          nb, aliens, our writers will not write about you, leave them alone. Okay.

            So we are 5?
            We should go up to 10 and expect a drop rate of 50%, so at least we have 5 effective writers.
            How can we promote this more? I know this subforum is exclusively for this but I think people doesn't enter here much.

              Re: SCARE ME !!!!!!!!!!!! [Writing Exercise]

              So far we have these 6 very cool people:

              1.RoadWarrior
              2. Dpat
              3. SouthernLand
              4. 14001
              5. Pike
              6. Spec


              ...so we need only 4 now, but I'd quite like 5 or 6 more, that's a starting figure of 12.

              10+ and you create a vibe, atmosphere, feedback, more readers... btw, if people just want to read, shout up please. Not out of the above 6...just anybody dipping in who can't enter, all help.... helps.

                To promote it on this board, you could mention it in Announcements.

                Will approves posts in that section, so you just say.... SCARE ME COMPETITION... 8 PAGES and all that, ETC. and it will appear within a day, I do this sometimes but I'm personally quite busy and spending time replying here makes me less keen to do all the frills...... so anybody else can set up an advert, be inventive and clear. That's all I say.

                Erm, also....

                You/any of us.... can change the SIGNATURE SPACE, to link to Writing Exercises, and say the same..... what it is, that the competition is ON DONE DEAL, IN WRITING EXERCISES, spell it out simply and clearly... otherwise people may think it's just another competition to add to the hundreds out there across the web and HW world.

                If you change your signature space and then post comments in all threads, that will spread the word about and your recent/not-so-old posts will all show it too.

                LIME is the colour we use around here in posts so that others can skip over a post and ignore it as their eyes tumble down the page..... it therefore has the effecdt of LEAVING THE REST OF THE THREAD....intact and rolling.............. hope you liked it and could read this 14001?

                  Okay, so who else is in please?

                  We'll set dates and deadlines when we have everybody onboard, but not before.

                      You know Jill you remind me of my mother. She was the biggest whore in Alameda and the finest woman that ever lived. Whoever my father was, for an hour or for a month, he must have been a happy man.

                        That makes 7 (magnificent).
                        We din't need to have a tight deadline, although if it's too far in time we may lose the hype.

                          UneducatedFan... very warm welcome, erm...don't worry about the multiple projects too much, what I'm thinking here is that we'll probably open on the 1st of March 2017, then.................give people a whole month, it will seem to fly by of course, but it will be nice and slow, time to develop an idea, execute it, refine some, using time-down, not time-up........but hey...........let's use April Fools as the proviaonal deadline.

                          That would be APRIL 1st 2017 Midnight, to get entries in by... we'll say to who and where, the usual, as a pdf, and all of that later in.

                          We still want more entants, let's see, 23rd Feb today, so that gives us about a WEEK before we even declare this thing open, SEVEN needs to become TWELVE, that's just five more people, FIVE - you hear folks, that's the countdown, let's see FIVE more signing up in next seven days please.

                          nb, if you post in other threads here by all means add this to you signature space:

                          SCARE ME!!! 8 PAGE SCREENPLAY EXERCISE, ENTRIES BY 1ST APRIL. GO TO WRITING EXERCISES IN DONE DEAL TO ENTER FOR FREE AND JOIN IN THE ACTION.

                            WANTED RIGHT NOW PLEASE!!!!

                            The FAB FIVE............................. these are the last five SPECIAL entrants, to take us from a magnificent seven into a volatile twelve.

                            Hell... if we get a dizzying 15 ENTRANTS.... I will persoanlly eat an old unwashed sock live on air.

                            As the numbers build, so does the camaraderie, this thing begins to take on a life of its own, we'll see different writing styles, takes, remember, extra points will be awared, for ATMOSPHERE, THE ABILITY TO BUILD A SENSE OF DREAD, TENSION OR PERHAPS JUST SHOW US... FEAR, HORROR, THE UNCANNY?


                            The feedback session is always a good workshop with these things.

                                NEW VOTING SYSTEM


                                You get FIVE VOTES to apply now..... that's five, but here's the thing, each vote is worth a different value...

                                It works like this folks.... each vote is really just like a coin or token.... with a 3 or 2 or a 1 written on it.

                                Coins are valued at:
                                3
                                3
                                2
                                2
                                1


                                Just write down all fifteen entries on a peice of A4 first, and then write a 3 in a circle next to the entry you want to vote for.... or a 2 or 1. And then you have another 3 to use, and another 2, and finally that 1 until all five coins are used up.


                                The coin values are therefore................... and just to be clear...... in the value/ order:
                                3/3/2/2/1


                                You effectlvely get to pick two winners, that's your "3" votes, but that will diverge of course when we tot up all the votes, the winner is the he/she with the most votes....you may say, but I want to pick a winner, that's fine but the votes mean that you are forced to pick the other "3" entry that came "closest" to your chosen winner, a sort of clear or close winners system then comes into being, intriguing, yes?

                                In the past people wanted to vote for entries but the simple 1st, 2nd and 3rd voting system, venerable though it was, kind of deprived the reader-voter of the option to award votes to the runners up and give some credit. That pressure is gone.

                                By the way, all five coins must be used, we'll be checking pockets as you leave the writing casino, but seriously, yes, you have to use up those five votes and apply them. The PM when you will vote may be set out as below as with my fictitious 5 entries.

                                Example

                                If you had just five entries, it would work like this:

                                1. DANGEROUS TIMES
                                -3 votes

                                2. THE SPECULATOR
                                -3 votes

                                3. INFERNAL HOST
                                -2 votes

                                4. LOST IMAGINATION
                                - 2 votes

                                5. EATING MY SOCK
                                - 1 vote.

                                ------------
                                TOTAL: all 5 coins used.
                                11 votes awarded overall.

                                Simple. huh?
