| Wouldn't it be Lightbulb, Mira, you, and I? You comes before yourself, but after other names. You use I if the subject of the sentence. | |

| Yeah. Wait. It's a bit awkward when you try to correct somebody on that. | |

| Okay, I know what I said earlier, but I can't help it. I have to add something to this. I guess I'll be doing this all day.... But honestly, I am going to go at some point. I swear.
It doesn't matter much to me if you listen to what I say or not.
I think the every six months is a good idea. But what about the goal? It's not going to be like 50,000 words each time, is it? You'd barely recover and finish revising after one is done before you go at it all over again. Perhaps something smaller, perhaps, 25,000 or 10,000. Or whatever you want to go for. I just think that having a 50,000 word writing contest every six months is a bit of an over-kill. (Now, I don't know exactly what you were planning, I don't know if you were planning on something a little lower. And if you were, I didn't know.)
Sio said "Yeps. You, Lightbulb, Mira and I so far."
I don't know what it would be, XD. I just think, though, that "Lightbulb, Mira, You and I." sounds wierd. Just my personal opinion. I'm not the best with grammar.
Wow, this was a lot longer than I intended it to be. | |

| ^Yeah, 50K words in half a year is a bit too much. So...: I still say annually, and we hold it once a year for a month or so, and you can write about anything. The sky's the limit. And you don't need a certain amount of words. My idea: - Needs to have characters, a plot, basically a storyline
- There's no certain amount of words
- Is held for a month
- You can only submit your work once
That's what I think we should do. | |

| How about: -15,000 words (that's inbetween) -one month every half year -only submit work once -good quality work (can't be just: "Oh, so I woke up this morning, brushed my teeth" or "Mom went to work and brought me along; it was boring", etc., etc.)
I think the words changed, but the quality work stays. If it's less words, even with less time, it should be good, at least. | |

| Seriously, no one has so much time to do this every half year...and if we did do it, no one would write anything and submit because it's little time for 15K words...I don't like the 15K word thing. | |

| the only problem that I have with this is what if a bad member wins? then will the admins be obligated to make him/her a mod? I suggest changing is to they win a custom rank of their choice.

| Ooh, that's good. We could try that. Any more suggestions, though? What if the bad member wants more? 'Cause I know I hate turning people down. | |

| *coughs* That's what I said before. And that's what I meant by I feel uncomfortable with making the winner mod. Just getting a custom rank is good.
And if they are a bad member, we can always either ban them or take away their rank. | |

| That would be that fair. How about we stick away from new ranks, just for the moment, so we can think of another thing? | |
