I don't know, I have dual theories about why he's reading more than five. I suspect some English teachers (not me of course, I WOULD NEVER BE SO UNPROFESSIONAL) pass the "best" exam responses around the whole staffroom so that they can be chuckled at...

As it's David Gaider, however, I'm sure he thinks they're awesome and wants to read more for totally non-evil reasons. *nodnod*

When I was a HS music teacher I once got the following response to the question, "List the instruments you can hear in this excerpt," as "Voice, guitar and the great big virgin." (I'm guessing it was supposed to be great big violin - or double bass. I'm pretty sure that particular singer wasn't ... never mind.) 

Oh, and there is so much musical terminology that makes accidental double entendres. I probably shouldn't go into it, apart from to say that I learned how to write careful exam questions pretty quick.

(I'm sure they're not laughing at us.)

You've just reminded me of "Is Hell Exothermic or Endothermic?":D

I haven't read this much fanfic since the days I used to write it. #TheWritersPit #DragonAgeShortFicContest

So I guess DG is passing them around the office?

They may also be carrying out plagiarism checks... [says cynical ex-lawyer, I would!]

Well, I thought a team of some sort was going to be looking at them anyway, though I thought that was just going to be before they got to DG.

We don't pass the actual papers around because of student/teacher confidentiality, but we do TALK about the goofy things our students have written/said

It's fanfiction. Unless someone copied game scripts or stuff from the novels, they're kind of hard to plagiarize in a fanfic contest.

And unless David Gaider would be pissed if someone used one of his trademark dialogue tags. Like the infamous derisive snort that made several appearances in Asunder. lol

There is always the possibility that other works may be plagiarised which would leave Bioware with egg on its face if such accusations are made in respect of one of the works they select.

Well, so far in this thread, we've tried patience, we've tried flattery, we've even tried borderline worship.

Anyone up for a sit-down, screaming tantrum?

[ColorMeSuprised]

Always.

[Tonia Laird]

Dave has decided to read more of the entries, and the rest of us have been enlisted/volunteered to help out. Which means if you entered your work, at least one writer or editor here will have read it.

[Shadow of Light Dragon]

Awesome! Thanks for letting us know!

[Dasque]

Hey! It worked!

[ColorMeSuprised]

That was fast!

I like the sound of "have been enlisted".

Are you reading out excerpts to each other yet? Good times.

[Mande Gray]

Well, this is an exciting turn of events. *returns to lurking quietly*

[K.L.Bryan]

The wait was becoming so difficult for me that I decided to continue the adventure of the young mage from my entry. She was heading back to Tevnter with Kellan and the other magisters when they encountered a Qunari ship and decided to head to Rivain instead. I'm having too much fun writing what I think places like Antiva and Rivain are like. XD

I am still waiting for that tantrum, though.

Who, me? I'm the perfect example of patience. :innocent:

Haha, maybe you shouldn't have posted. You've served only to feed the monsters we've become.

Aw, I was kind of hoping for this tantrum instead.
