Potential entrant, not starting a new story.

Are we going by words added during NaNoWriMo? If so, should we declare our current best guess word count for honesty's sake?

>>15191

It'd be simple enough for me to count words. All I'd have to do is copy paste the updates happening after the first into a doc.

However, I would prefer an honor system where one does it themselves, much like how the real NaNoWriMo operates, as the tiered winners really is more a personal victory than anything.

gOING FORFABRIC. yOU CAN'T STOP ME

>>15194

Put your hearing aid back in, Grandpa!

>>/at/38313

Entering A Mountain of Surprises on the Soap Street. My anon side project needs some love, not unlike the protag of this story.

>>/sdm/62708

Scarlet Tycoon shall return. Pardon the absence.

Also, it's entirely possible to enter after today; just remember that you'll be playing on Lunatic.

However, the deadline remains the same no matter when you start.

https://www.touhou-project.com/youkai/res/30126.html I've made an entry from a story I've been meaning to test!

>>/th/198137

Entering The Moriya 14.

aaaaaaa here goes nothing

So, how is everyone doing thus far?

I'm juggling projects, so I guess I'm happy with what I've been able to do in spite of that.

>>15229
I didn’t enter, but I’m at 15k words since the first update this month. Can I still get Fabric?

>>15231

That's bronze and a half. I'm willing to accept late entries, as I said. Just link to the first post of the month and link here on your story. It'll make it easier to double check later.

The main reason I called it lunatic was under the assumption that one hasn't done as much work as is expected of the month.

>>15232
Tempting, but it wouldn’t be a very THP-ish contest if I didn’t get Fabric, would it?

>>15233

True. Link to the most recent post on the 30th at 23:30 or so, in that case.

>>15234
>>15232
If your coming late offer is still standing, I’d like to enter Kurodani Yamame Has No Gods, starting from >>/underground/15649

It’s a story about a somewhat thick spider doing somewhat cute things. It also suffered a hiatus over the summer, so technically I only began updating it again around October. So, you know, technically fair, right?

>>15237

Sure! The more the merrier~

The contest ends in 20 hours 51 minutes.

Maybe be late in ending the contest, but the deadline remains 00:01 site time.

Alrighty, the contest is over. Now I just need to tally the entries and see what each qualifies as. This may take a bit longer than the normal wait, as I'll need to measure update size and count of each story.

I will see how long it takes tonight and work up a timeframe from there.

I'll start by compiling my own entry, as I already have it all together for ease of doing so, what with being the writer. Then, from there, I will give a timeframe that I will check the rest in.

Word count verdict: Silver, as they total to just over 20,000 at 20,859

Alright, I feel that doing this at a rate of one recount and such per day will be a good rate. While not difficult, it's slightly time consuming to do so, and I'm still quite tired.

Next up shall be porn! >>15202

>>15247
>one recount and such per day will be a good rate
It's better than our update schedules. Ooh!

>>15207
You lied to me.

>>15249

November went off to a roaring start for me by having a family member wind up in the hospital for over a week. I didn't want to come back just to say "oops lol," hoping that I would be able to come back with an actual update instead, but oops lol.

I will say this -- I have two updates half-written (one to get back into the setting and get everyone back up to speed, another to move the actual plot along) and another little something that will hopefully make the overall Remi experience even better.

>>15252

Trying is the most important thing. One doesn't always succeed, but to try is the first step to success, and I for one greatly appreciate the effort you put forth.

>>15253
shut up faggot
>>15252
you're a giant shitter and a hundred excuses won't change the fact that you've failed

however, since your CYOA is great you get a pass, now go update or I'll get mad and bomb this entire site with terrible 2hu pictures and really, REALLY mediocre fanfiction that you would usually see on /qu/

>>15254

so the usual level for this site, then

Start point: >>/at/38356

1 3359 (By all that is holy!)
2 1312

Verdict: >>/at/38355 may have had more of a point than many likely consider. It's good that you managed to put out this much, and I both appreciate your participation and am happy that you managed to get your balls rolling a bit through sparing use of the contest. Even if you are double fabric, I feel that you are as much a winner as any of us; you did what you set out to do, and gave the blue balls of your fans a nice, soapy rub.

Now, while you and your fans gag, let's see... Next up is >>/youkai/30126 where we have a plate to give less soapy love to tomorrow!

Now, excuse me while I groan over looking for an hour for a good picture of a particularly phallic cherry stem knot.

>>15268
To be fair, I was working on my main story, a Thanksgiving-ish short (wink wink), and that at the same time. Also, I intended for updates to be short, but 'short' and 'me' evidently don't go in the same sentence. Good to hear that you enjoyed it, though.

>>15270
Oh no. One does not simply promise delicious Nemuno and never deliver. I am holding you under the hot – very hot! – hand of blame until you fulfill your mountainous obligations!

>>15272
It's coming. Keep your pants on. Or off. No judgment here.

Early day tomorrow, so sleeping. I feel bad for expecting this one to be easy, when it may actually be the hardest on post count alone! Well done, plate.

42 total! Nice going, even with the overall smaller sized updates.

Verdict: You've got a gold on post count easily, but the word count is, well... 7,345. A far cry from the platinum you spoke of, but gold is gold, even if the word count didn't leave fabric. Still, well done and I wish you luck in the future. I hope that this story shakes that nasty reputation you've become known for. I'm happy that someone else thus far has gotten a gold, and will look forward to crapping art at you!

I was actually pretty much reading it at points simply due to the length. Sorry about that. It was just entertaining. If I weren't a participant and thus hating life at the time, I would probably have been one of your voters.

>>15275

And here I'd forgotten about the update count condition and thought I was workin' with a Fabric story! This just made my day!

Thank you for your kind words!

Now to get back to that update without fear I'm making things rough for you and bring that very nearby ending that much closer!

3 282
4 577
6 741
22 950 (Nice and beefy!)

Final count: 7 updates and 3,897 words!
Verdict: While double fabric, I felt that it was not for lack of effort. You did well, and it shows! I know that it can suck when life decides to be a bit of a bitch at the worst time, so don't let the material of your category fool you; to me, you're as much a winner as any of us. Better luck next time, and don't let it discourage you! You've got some interesting ideas going for you, even if just from what little I've seen while skimming now and then.

Anyone I've missed save the thick spider?

>>15237

Next, you.

>>15282
Did you get caught in a web?

>>15285

No, I tripped into it and tried to roll out. Back to work I go! Sorry about the delay.

90% done, though the last bit is annoyingly time consuming. You'll get yours tomorrow, assuming all goes well for once.

Prognosis: Take a bronze and silver and see me in the morning. I'll be honest with you, as I was looking through, I was starting to wonder if you'd hit gold or a technically not platinum on word count alone. While not the gold I was hoping I'd see from you, you still did quite well. The best, in fact. You beat my own silver word count, making you what I believe to be the writer who wins the hardest in the more important category. Good job.

Now, anyone I missed?

>>15298
>1234
… Huh.
>While not the gold I was hoping I'd see from you, you still did quite well.
That’s the trick, isn’t it? To make it seem like you’re doing more than you are. Well, I probably could have hit that 30k if I hadn’t run into a spat of bad weather that absolutely incapacitated my brain for almost a full week. So yeah.
>Now, anyone I missed?
I don’t think there is, old boy. See you in a few months with the prizes. I don’t really feel my own entry was entirely fair, so I’ll happily cede my almost-silver-and-a-half-but-not-quite-there to the next best result.

>>15299

Well, actually, I was planning to give prizes out a bit more generously than just the two top winners. I just need time to consider how to go about it, and first need to make good on some things long overdue. ...Well, longer anyways.
