Rules, Guidelines, and FAQs (Round VII)

25 posts in this topic.

  1. question-- what is a line for a navigator? a literal line, or a sentence? and like what if the poem is enjambed to smithereens-- making a bunch of "lines" but really only five sentences? // or the poem is one run on sentence ??
  2. @herb Yeahh that's a good question. I feel like it's tricker to set rules for poets, as there's so much variety in form. I believe "line" meant a literal line rather than a sentence. I guess I personally would estimate a line to be around 10 words? So maybe about 140 words if you want a number? We won't be super strict about it though; the goal of LMS is to help the writers, after all! So if it's just 14 words but you put a lot of thought and effort into it, that's absolutely fine.
  3. Is it too late for me to join this second week as a stowaway? I read the already answered question, but I want to double check :) I'll just be doing some revisions on AOT.
  4. @LadyMysterio we haven't started yet but you can join in as a Stowaway at any point ^^
  5. yay okay! I will join
  6. A quick clarification on multiple roles, as I realize it wasn't specified in the rules or guidelines:
    Entering as both Pilot and Navigator is not allowed, as it would be unfair to let someone drop out of one role but keep competing as the other. However, Mission Control and Stowaway can be combined with any other role! So one could be a Pilot and Stowaway, or Stowaway and Mission Control, etc.
  7. Hey, hey, I just realized that I'd like to go for Mission Control as well! (That means I'll be joining as Pilot and Mission Control :P)
  8. Sounds good, Kay! :D
  9. ...there is a special trophy for Mission Control.....
    Must... resist... urge for trophies...
  10. XDD
