NAME the DEAD Contest RESULTS
This will seem rather anti-climactic but I have the results of the NAME the DEAD Contest. And due to the nature of my mood at the moment, I will break down the results into different categories to extend the length of this post. So with further adieu, here we go. With the results. Now.

Most startling revelation of the contest
That almost no one cares either about the contest or about the names of the people in the stories.
Yeah, so I got three responses from the three people above. That either means that people aren’t bothering to read the stories or they just don’t care to play my little games. Either way it doesn’t really matter.
Why?
Because for one thing I’ve decided that the names are irrelevant and have re-formatted the first three Days to follow the new one.
And also DAY FOUR is finished! Yay! I need to have my lovely editor give it a thorough read through and I should be able to post it tomorrow. Hopefully she can get through it without falling asleep because it’s definitely the longest one yet (8 pages printed, currently sitting at 6,704 words). That’s way longer than DAY ONE and DAY TWO combined!
OK I seriously need to stop talking about it or everyone will be all hyped up and then be pissed when they read it and think it sucks.
I may go get myself some pity donuts.

Yeah, maybe people didn’t think naming the dead was relevant. who knows.
I’d also recommend that perhaps you break up the days into separate posts too. sometimes people are reluctant to read a really long post. Just a small suggestion. :)

Nope not breaking up the stories into smaller bits. People are either going to be interested and will read them or they won’t. I may however, see if I can find a way to do a “print-friendly” version for off-line perusal.

Actually it’s already printer friendly. i printed up day four to read because i can’t read directly from the screen when it’s that much text.
but your template already prints just fine. it doesn’t print the header or the sidebar, only the entry and comments.
