OC Slamjam author roundup · 7:48am Jun 3rd, 2015
For those of you who don't know, Obsolescence ran a little contest featuring some people you might have seen around the playground. This post aims to round up who done what, so if I've missed someone (and I'm certain I have), please call me out in the comments below, with a link to where the author confirmed it (and if you know an author who hasn't confirmed their OC, give them a poke - just not too hard, we don't need any hospital trips 
). The contest is over, but confirmations are still coming in, so be sure to check back!

I'm in it, and I moved on to Round 2. I also know vren55 advanced, and I don't feel guilty at all about telling you that.
oh my god thank you :D
I'm pretty sure Magello's in the contest and has advanced. Can't confirm.
Mizuko has a character account as well. (I swear I saw a third one in the story comments, but I forget who.)
Imma keep an eye on this. :3
Temporary character account here, if you wanna keep track! ♥
I've moved on to the next round.

I'm also moving forward.
3119810 3119907 3119924 3119965 3120333 Post has been updated, thanks for the updates everyone!
3119907 If you can get/find confirmation of Magello's participation, send it my way, but in the meantime I don't want to rely just on people's recollections.
I'm in the second round aswell!
Can confirm, am in second round.
I have nothing to link you to (although he's been voting and loosely reviewing), but I can confirm that Dubs Rewatcher is participating and currently made it to round 2. Merlos can back that up, as we're keeping tabs on one another in the Writeoff Skype chat.
I'm participating and I've move on to round 2.
3120508 3120532 3120552 3120577 Updated, thanks for letting me know!
3120552 I'll take your word for it, but if you could chase him in here to confirm himself, that'd be awesome.
I'm in it, and I've advanced to Round 2. It's really begun to heat up.
3120909 Updated, thanks!
Anyone have thoughts on sorting? I've had a few myself, but would like to hear what sorting methods others might find useful.
I'm competing and made it to Round 2.
3120552
Aw, you vouched for me? What a sweetie pie <3
What is this OC slamjam thing even
Why is this appearing in my feed
Dinoguy, I do not pay you to slamjam =(
3121021
boo hiss :V
3121218
No but really what is going on =(
And to clarify for the guys who did/are about to thumb me down:
I'm not making fun of you guys or the contest. The writer of this blog here is my editor; I'm just picking on him a little because apparently he got into this slamjam thingie whatever without telling me, and I also have no idea what's going on.
PP, save me from my transgressions. =(
I believe I advanced, but I haven't had time to check back on the contest page to be 100% sure.
3121374 Yet you had time to write your comment. Going back to check will take you all of thirty seconds at max.
3121537
Are you questioning my logic?
It actually took about a minute. And yes, I did advance.
That prompted me to prepare for the possibility of winning.

Hey, my odds are twice as good as they were before.
3120879
Hey, I can totally give you some concrete confirmation now! It's right here!
Poor jokes aside...
To 3121226, I give you... Obs' original blog post detailing the contest itself. And... The now completed first round, in all its glory.
To give a quickie explanation, Obs had a bunch of people make an original character and kept the owning author anonymous. Then he paired us off randomly in a competition bracket. Each author only had access to the various character bios. That's all the information we were given. We were to take that info and, in a week, write a 500-2500 word short involving both characters. They were all posted, and then the public read them and voted on which side wrote the better story, utilizing the characters better, etc., etc. The one who took the most votes, moved on to round 2. Rinse and repeat for a total of six rounds, and we have a winner!
In and advanced to round 2

Don't encourage me to be lazy, hehe.
But thanks a lot for taking the time to explain it. I appreciate it. I poked around a bit last night before I went to sleep. Kinda interesting, although, jeez, that's a lot of stories. That's what you get when you disappear for a while and then suddenly your inbox fills up with Space Jam-related blog posts.
Anyway, all the best to those who entered.
Still, though, Dino. I'm not paying you for this. >=\
3121015 3121586 3121659 Blog updated, thanks for the confirms!
3121745 You don't pay me to do anything, you smelly butt.
Also, I'm not participating, I'm just keeping track of this because I was curious and figured I wasn't the only one. 
I've sorted the list and messed with the formatting a bit here and there; if anyone has thoughts or suggestions, I'd love to hear them!
3121977
What happened to all those pizza hut vouchers I gave you?
3121745
No prob. And hey, there's always Slamjam 2! Or the special little side thingy we're planning for this one...
3122016 I ate them all. Coincidentally, they tasted nothing like pizza. I feel so lied to.
I advanced to the second round.
Found another character account buried in the comments of Round 1: Summer Heat.
3122252 3122831 Post updated, thanks for the info!
I participated and lost round 1. Let's just say I was the worst landslide in the first round.
3125129 Noted, though I didn't try to guess which character was yours. If someone else makes a guess, would you be willing to confirm?
3125254 Just look a the results on the official bracket. I lost 25-0.
3125259 Aah, I see. Do you mind being noted with your character in the blog, or should I take your obtuseness here to mean you don't want that?
3125275 You can post me with it. I'm just messing around with you.
3125279
Updated, thanks for the info!
3125129
You had a good OC, guy(/gal). My vote on your pair was the one I think I was most disappointed to have been making.
Found another author competing! Writer. By the looks of it, he made it into Round 2.
3138817 Thanks, updated!
Now, while I have you, maybe you can confirm whether you've moved on to round 2, too...
3139032
I was planning on not revealing anything about my status in the contest until the very end, to keep people on their toes, but I suppose I can let you know that I have moved on to Round 2 at the very least.
3139211 If you're wanting to keep things under wraps, you're certainly free to do so; you shouldn't feel any obligation to report your status in future rounds if it doesn't fit your plans.
That being said, I have updated the blog for this round, and thanks for revealing the info anyways!
You're doing god's work finding all these guys for us.
3141045 Thanks, though to be honest a lot of the information has come from the comments here. I'm just hoping people will be willing to keep me (and by extension, everyone) updated as the contest progresses!
Blog post has been updated for the start of round 2 voting!
Casey Regulator Trotterson was created by Railroad Brony, who dropped out just as writing for Round 1 started. Confirmation is here, and you can check the above blogpost for the appropriate edit.
Also, Pearple Prose and RainbowBob are definitely in Round 2.
3153992 3153998 Ooh, good catch on Casey! I'd seen that comment, but didn't put two and two together.
I've updated the blog post, using your comment as the confirmation for Pearple's and Bob's participation, but if you're aware of anything directly from them confirming, I'd like to be able to add it too.
3156424 All I have are Skype records. If screenshots would be sufficient, I can certainly do that.
3156549 No, that's fine.
