I deliberately messed up my story even further, as I was a bit put off by the bizarreness and lack of consistency it already suffered from.

I'd say messing up a story is ok, if it's in the middle and lacks any specific direction, but if you're writing one of the final parts you should treat what you've been sent as a challenge and try to put it all together to a satisfying conclusion.

A number of people, like Andail, faced with an insurmountable mountain of confusion, handled it very well by turning the story in a new direction and planting tongue firmly in cheek.  They're all fun!

EDIT:

Woo!  And the first set is done.  Set three should be done pretty darn soon, but set two might be a bit depending on how long people take.  Hopefully we have no more skips!  Get 'er done!

Tuomas you have twelve hours to complete!

You didn't read the next paragraph.
One guy doesn't have to tie it all up.  Everybody has a go at writing an ending. That's the challenge.

Ah, so EVERYBODY suffers :)

In all honesty, this sounds pretty freaky cool, though it could spiral out of control pretty fast.

How fast one needs to be to get into the "fast turnarounds" list?

Vince Twelve

I dunno.  Couple hours.  Whenever I notice.   :=  Did you have one that I overlooked?

Stupot

I also think the really slow people should be named and shamed aswell :P

I did turn in my first assignment about 2 hours after getting your email, the other 2 took me more. I was curious if you need all 3 to be done so quickly to be eligible for a "fast turnaround" mark.

I got on the list with my slowest response, but I don't blame you at all, as you obviously sinked your teeth in one monster of a competition. well, you're allmost done, so the great sigh is not that far off =)

So you did!  I probably just forgot to add you to the list!

Considered that.  Felt too mean...  :P

I want to read these now!
I just had to skip another person, so... we're getting there.  Just very slowly...  Shouldn't be more than a couple days now.  Right? RIGHT?

Come on, sometimes factors beyond our control in the real world prevent us from doing our work on time :/

Igor Hardy

The last person to turn in a story piece in the competition will be named and shamed!  :D

Oh my god, we're almost finished! I'm sooo pumped to see the stories! :D

That sound was Atelier realizing who the last writer is!  ;D  He's got 24 hours left on the timer though!
