Segment Mini-Comp (Announcement)
From IFWiki
Hello everyone,
I would like to start a new mini-competition. This one will have to work differently than the others, since it will take on some of the aspects of a speed-if competition, without the speed parts.
In Speed-IF 11, we built a premise of moving a dead body from the attic to the basement. Six authors volunteered and we split the premise into six segments, each ending where the next one would begin. Played in successive order, it would be like playing one whole game or story, albeit somewhat linear.
So the first order of business is to get participants. I will accept entries through January 17th at midnight US CST.
The second step will be for me to contact all participants to create a viable premise (one that everyone is generally interested in). Then I will segment the premise into X segments and we will have a random drawing for connecting participants to segments.
We should have this done within another 7 days time.
Then you will have 30 days to create your segment. So entries will be due on February 27th.
If someone drops out, we will need back-up entrants. If you would like to be a back-up entrant, please let me know.
So...first order business....who would like to play?
Oh yeah, everyone that participates and completes their segment will get a medal with the name of their segment (reasonable length) engraved.
Send entries by replying to me directly.
