Of a writing contest. Valid points were raised about qualitative criteria for judging entries, so I thought I would suggest another tack altogether. A fictional episodic story about gamedev itself. I'd like to call it "The Dev Boat" A simple funny spinoff of the Love Boat, we could populate the crew with community characters, and introduce other community members on "This weeks cruise to [wherever]" Just a fun thought for some discussion. We do enough serious work around here as it is, and, something fun might be a good thing. Adventuredesign

yup, my feeling exactly.
Although I suppose you could simply replace GameDev people for famous video games characters, eh? ;)

This is exactly the kind of thinking out loud that makes people who can greenlight production funding in story conferences go "YES!" and point at you.

*blushes*
well, you are the one getting all original in the first place,
me I just proposed to write "a little piece of writing, related to a given game" in the other thread.
No need to start pointing fingers, eh? ;)
