Hello everyone,

I would like to start a new mini-competition. This one will have to
work differently than the others, since it will take on some of the
aspects of a speed-if competition, without the speed parts.

In Speed-IF 11, we built a premise of moving a dead body from the attic
to the basement. Six authors volunteered and we split the premise into
six segments, each ending where the next one would begin. Played in
successive order, it would be like playing one whole game or story,
albeit somewhat linear.

So the first order of business is to get participants. I will accept
entries through January 17th at midnight US CST.

The second step will be for me to contact all participants to create a
viable premise (one that everyone is generally interested in). Then I
will segment the premise into X segments and we will have a random
drawing for connecting participants to segments.

We should have this done within another 7 days time.

Then you will have 30 days to create your segment. So entries will be
due on February 27th.

If someone drops out, we will need back-up entrants. If you would like
to be a back-up entrant, please let me know.

So...first order business....who would like to play?

Oh yeah, everyone that participates and completes their segment will
get a medal with the name of their segment (reasonable length)
engraved.

Send entries by replying to me directly.

So I've had some questions....

Q: What size game am I expected to create?
A: This is entirely up to you. Whatever you can get done in 30 days.

Q: Are you using the Speed-IF premise or are you going to create a new
one? What will it be?
A: The premise will be a group decision and an entirely new one. All
entrants will have a say in the premise or elements of the premise.
If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask.

Q: Are there a limited number of entries? Will you cut off entries at a
certain number?
A: No. No.

Okay. As of this morning I have 4 entrants and 1 back-up person.

I'd like to get at least a couple more, but was hoping to get up to 10
people.

Come on people, you can write an IF game in a month.
No monument, but you _will_ get a medal.
