Stories are kinda easy ways to get red jerseys. As long as you put thought into them and made a quality story, it's gonna be a lot of words for sure. My shortest complete stories are probably still like 60,000 words.

Though I'd never post a full thing in one post during TDV because I'd feel cheap in doing that. At best, I'll post a single chapter which is only like 1,000 - 2,000 words in length.

My fan fiction follows Play script formatting, meaning it goes like this:


Name 1: Blah blah blah.


Name 2: Blah blah blah blah blah.


Name 1 does this action.

Name 1: Blah blah blah~



It skips a lot of detail while keeping the same context... the chapters in it are still over 7000 words alone... . And I've even put pictures of facial expressions in it and stuff.

Actually the fan fiction is Zelda, Majora's Mask. I might post it tomorrow since I'd like feed back on it too, but I can't post pictures as a newbie, it'd just show up as a link, so maybe I'll hold it off until I'm a member, but I am pretty sure the competition will be long over by the time I reach member status though (probably)...

Sairek Ceareste : Nah... you'll reach normal member status in 5 days (from the next flip which is in a couple of minutes) and the competition runs all month long.

I know this is a sandwich post, but...



WHEE I GOT RED AND YELLOW JERSEY!! WHOOOO~~~ ^o^



Still no blue though... =( *stares at Pokefreak*



WE HAD A DEAL MISSY!!

I just couldn't abandon my team mates. So I'm going to at least try to help keep them in the top three leaders for the team competition. Congratulations to everyone that won the jersey's. You guys are really good and inspiring competitors. Keep up the good work.

I think this has a good chance of being the first Tour de Vizzed I don't get a jersey in. I just don't have the time I did the last few competitions.

In fact, lately I'm only spending maybe an hour or two posting, when in the past I'd post for a couple of hours.

Wondering if it's the forum, or if it's me right now. I certainly don't feel very different.

Pokefreak219 :

Guess it can't be helped. I will just have to try even harder this time.

If you strive for something, and fail. Try again and strive harder.

(...I may very well pass over 700 posts before I even become a full fledged member... this isn't good, LOL)



SunflowerGaming : It means more competition, but I'm glad to hear that! I usually give up too easily when something like that happens to me, but don't follow that habit of mine. =P

Thank you for the congrats too. <3

*gets online and sees no jersey on her name*

*sniffles and gets over it*

Or does she?

LOL You all did great.  This was the first time I didn't get a jersey.  I'm almost positive I won't today either because I am excited about almost being caught up in my grading and I'd like to get that done.

The day Sairek posts his fan fiction, I'm not even going to try for the red jersey.  I think using 'old' material is a cheap way to win as well.  (No offense)

EDIT:  Aww pokefreak!  Why did you have to steal my one jersey?!?!  You couldn't let me have just one?  JUST one?  *more sniffles*  You're lucky I chose to give my husband a back rub an hour before the competition was over!  LOL

Interesting fact, the overall 1st and 2nd place users are new users

More interesting.

Not a single mod is in the top 10.

Yeah I am surprised that none of the mods got to the top ten of the competition, but I think they will make a comeback once the competition die out. 

AWH!!

I WAS ONE POST AWAY FROM BLUE? ONE???



That will just not do lads. >>;


You all got another thing coming to ya! *shakes fist*

Singelli :


Hey, I still had to rewrite all of that down manually. I couldn't Copy and paste it. It screws up all of the text and formatting. :l
No good posting for feed back of my story if nobody can actually read it! (nobody is posting feedback anyways and that makes me actually very sad... )


Besides that though, I've written a completely original review on Megaman Zero today! That actually only took me about 1 minute for 100 words. But then I some double check editing too which took another 10 minutes or so. I pretty much already knew what I wanted to say, playing the entire series and knowing it almost off by heart by now though.


Blue is Sairek's main color, red being secondary and yellow being third. He's a primary colored boy apparently. So I want the Blue Yellow and Red Jerseys xD. But I've got a lot of catching up to do to get those... Green can go to whoever wants it most for all I care. But considering posting more than 30 words is pretty easy for me, I may get that by if anything, completely accident.



Also, I always keep clicking "new posts" so I can always find threads that are active. I don't like posting in threads and necro them just to get post count up. Besides, while I am doing all of this, I can find newer threads in every place easier and I can see where actual discussions are taking place. I do enjoy posting even if it isn't for the jerseys.

Sairek Ceareste : Well I didn't want to just leave my team and not help them out somewhat. And you're welcome for the congrats. You worked hard for it, I'm sure. You, Singelli and Oldschool41 sure do give me a run for my money, or Viz on here. Haha. Good job on getting the red and yellow jersey. looks really cool.

Funny thing is, I looked at Sarek's average posts per day yesterday. It said... Almost 82!!! *eyes inflate until they pop* No joke, I actually saw that yesterday. Never saw a newbie actually spreeing even though 10 posts per day us the limit. How can a newbie post more than 10 times a day if the max is really 10? That makes me very confused.

When I got a summon a few days ago for red jersey, I didn't really compete for red, I did a review for my job and didn't realize that I got myself 1 total point for TDV. XD Not sure if I may get no points for the New Year's Eve TDV special, even though I will get a lot of free time in the Christmas break JUST before the TDV.

Steve 764:


Nah, only ten posts are REQUIRED to reach newbie status as well as being a member for one full week.




I'm also an old returning member. I'm just restarting fresh; I don't feel comfortable really logging into an account again that I didn't touch and let rust for over a year and saying "YO PEEPS!! REMEMBER ME?!"

Well, and the fact I like this user name better than my old one. It's more original, even though I have more attachment to my other user name since I've been using it for pretty much forever. I did trade over all the Vic on my old account to my this one though. I mean, technically I still earned it all. That's why I'm sitting nearly pretty at 43,000 Vic.


I may be breaking a record perhaps of the newbie with the most posts ever on Vi zed though with the rate I'm going~ And really what I originally was just doing was trying to get this account back up to where my old account was. I didn't even realize this jersey thingy wheat's it until I got summoned and I was like "Whoa! I did really good!"


Davideo summoning me may have just doomed you all~ *cackles*



EDIT: How the eff did that summon fail? I literally clicked "Reply to post"!


Pffft.....

Stevie 764 : I don't remember ever seeing a limit of 10 posts a day for newbies... I know they can only start 1 new thread a day and need a minimum of 10 total posts to no longer be newbies after a week of being here.
