Happy you like it guys, we're really excited to see what stories emerge. The fact that these can inspire books, comics, films or TV series is rather mind-blowing to a lot of us.  |

So could I write something the length of Empyrean Age?  On the other side, I'm hoping their not expecting a 2-paragraph forum post entry that one just typed into the text field. Plot Summary - 5000 characters leftI don't see anywhere on the "Submit Story" page where you would say attach a document. Which is kind of stupid. I mean how are you suppose to properly vote on a story when all you have are the cliff-notes.  PS: Chribby shouldn't be allowed to post a story...he's to love-able not to win First :P
Thanks for the feedback. The 5000 character limit was put put there as an attempt to create "artistic constraints", with the goal to focus the storytelling so that it would be more of a treatment or synopsis, rather than a fully fleshed out story. That would make it easier for readers to trawl through all the stories once the voting process starts.
A number of people have expressed their concern that this is way to short. We'd love to hear opinions, pro and cons for this. Are there people that like keeping it short, so that it-¦s concise, or do most of you want more space to better illustrate your stories? |

Do you expect me to complress ten years (or even two years) of EVE history into 5000 characters? The "Epic history of lie" is 15kb of bare text, and only covers about two years of EVE History.
You can provide an "elevator pitch" summary of the plot and a link to a more verbose version on the story, if the 5000 character limit is not enough to describe the story you want to submit. |
