Pencils Down (FiO Contest)

84 Stories

564,000 Words

Holy crap. This is far more successful than I ever thought it was going to be.

So, the other judges and I are going to need to come up with a strategy for how to actually read all these in a timely fashion. Will get back to you soon with updates about judging details, reviews, the published anthology, etc. But for now, I am so happy with how this went. You all rock.

And if anybody wants to read some good Friendship is Optimal while we wait for the results, there's a group for that.

84 is a lot, yeah.

Isn't the answer obvious?
Feed them all into AI dungeon, have it decide.

After all, but who to judge an AI but another AI?
:-D

[SpedaHooves]

Lol, Hopefully my Story does okay in this! Good luck on the Judging!

[FanOfMostEverything]

Yowza. I've been saying best of luck in the judging, but this is more a case of best of luck to the judges.

[Cold in Gardez]

Well, looks like my next month or so is spoken for.

[Wanderer D]

If I see you complaining about being bored...

[PresentPerfect]

I'm now rethinking my desire to review this contest. c.c;;;

Congratulations on inspiring so many horsewords. :)

I didn't end up getting mine in, but I hope to have it up as a fragment sometime this week. I'd apology for not having it up sooner (pretty busy at the moment), but, uh. I think you maybe don't need more to read just at this particular moment. :D
Good luck with the judging!

84 means we've increased the number of stories by like, 50%, if I remember correctly...
