For about two days now I have been moving the printed-out entries around and around from the victors pile to the runners-up column to to the sad "almost ran". Truly tough as there is not an entry that I wouldn't use.
My once-a-year dust-up with cold-inducing viruses (invariably sometime around the holidaze) is not helping me adjudicate matters with a clear head. So I am granting myself a reprieve and will be announcing the winners tomorrow morning instead. Whew.
But as to not waste your time with a post only about my public hand-wringing, I do have two items of business.
Firstly here is the prize pool that winners (and possibly runners up) can pick from:
1. Two very nice copies of William Hope Hodgson's classic 1912 The Night Land, a book which several commentators have mentioned (rightly) being very close in spirit to the campaign seed.2. A nice Avon paperback copy of the Moon Pool by A. Merrit (seen to the right).
3. A laminated copy of the Darlene Greyhawk maps.
Secondly, I wasn't exaggerating about wanting to use all of the entries--and my recent fever dream of synthesizing all of them into a crazy-quilt setting. I am requesting permission from all you fine folks who threw their hats into the ring to do so, with full credits, of course. I have no idea what exactly I may do with it, but I promise that it will be used in play somewhere.
You definitely have my full permission Chris!
ReplyDeleteFeel free to use my entry. All I ask is that I have the opportunity to re-write it a bit. It as written around 4 in the morning and there are a few nagging problems with it that I didn't catch when I submitted it.
