Short Story Contest #6 - Poll

[The World Is Flat]

Py has my judging.

And like i said earlier, the public isnt always in on the latest techniques. thus, effecting judging.

 

[Dragonson]

The results haven't yet ceased to surprise me, though they don't necessarily match my judging.

Also, the poll is almost completely off.

'nuff said.

Heh, i'm really sorry for being impolite but this is pretty silly. :/
All of those stories together might make a small story-collection.
Try taking one of these stories and putting all the text into word.
Now try doing the same with a nice 100-200 pages book.

You'l quite apparently be surprised how much of a diffirence there is.

 

[The World Is Flat]

I'd be less polite, its downright... idiotic?

 

[Grey Nightmare]

It's down to a matter of opinion, let us leave it at that.

 

[Dragonson]

I guess it kinda does matter what size of books you're referring to, but they'd have to be pretty small. :/

I know what you mean. I found a 8 paged book in my library once =.=

 

[The World Is Flat]

Still longer than most of these stories.

EDIT

He might be talking about his childrens stories. ones with pictures and one line on each page.

I wish you can stop hating me, im not child, also those are not sertanly short stories so...Like gray nightmare said its the matter of oppinion.But if those are short stories to you then let them be.So much lousy haterz -.-

 

[Dragonson]

Now you're bringing it on yourself dude. :/

You said something quite silly, which is that each of these stories have the length of ten books.
This is not a matter of opinion, that's a matter of material size.

And going directly at us is not helping your cause in any way.

 

[The World Is Flat]

Your grammar indicates the opposite, and so do your suggestions. short story has a specific definition.

Fiction under 10,000 words, or a prose narrative shorter than a novel.

Is the generally accepted definition, there is no 'opinion' about the length, you are clearly false, and then harassing us with YOUR opinions and saying that we go against convention, when it is you going against convention, then, when we refute your irreverence with sarcastic disrespect you rage, an obvious sign of immaturity. Please steer clear of forums when you cannot act in a mature fashion.

 

[WhitePhoenix]

irreverence

You have manumitted me of the ignore of this word.

I shall go through great lengths to use it as much as possible tomorrow.

 

[neo_child]

Lets get back on topic shall we?

 

[-Bloody Hound-]

I agree with with world is flat and dragonson.I see now i made a mistake ty for that.
I said my english is bad ... and you attacked my grammar -.- how lame is that? -.-

 

[Grey Nightmare]

Your all acting as bad as each other next post about the length of short stories is getting reported. If it matters that MUCH to ANY of you take the discussion elsewhere.

Yup.

 

[Dragonson]

So. We're finished.
Now the waiting for the poll to be over is over, and we can start waiting for the results to be posted. Yay.

 

[neo_child]

[Oziris]

Oh nice, six votes. Thanks peps! ^^ I'll think about writing the after "To be continued". Can't wait to see some feedback from the judges.

 

[Grey Nightmare]
